Brief summary
Low-level laser stimulates cells in the hair follicles, which promotes hair growth. The patient's own blood platelets are used in platelet-rich plasma treatment to encourage hair growth. Combining low-level laser treatment with platelet-rich plasma will promote hair growth in patients.
Detailed description
To determine the impact of low-level laser therapy on hair regrowth following prp treatment. This will be case control study conducted on 22 participants with androgenetic alopecia (AGA).
Interventions
COMBINATION_PRODUCTPRP treatment
PRP treatment involves drawing a blood sample, processing it to concentrate platelets, and then injecting that concentrated plasma back into the body, typically at the site of an injury or area needing regeneration. The procedure aims to utilize the growth factors within the platelets to accelerate healing and tissue repair.
COMBINATION_PRODUCTlow level laser therapy post prp treatment
will receive low-level laser therapy post prp treatment upto 12 weeks .Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a non-invasive treatment for hair loss that uses low-intensity laser light to stimulate hair follicles and improve blood circulation. It's often used on its own or combined with other therapies like PRP.

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) scale | 12 Months | The Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) scale is a tool used by physicians to evaluate the overall severity of a patient's disease. It's a subjective assessment, typically on a scale of 0 to 3 or 0 to 4, with higher scores indicating more severe disease activity. The PGA focuses on the overall disease activity, considering both the severity of active manifestations and relevant laboratory results, excluding organ damage and subjective findings unrelated to disease activity |
