Abstract

Treatments for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) include different drugs, but a treatment based on stabilized hyaluronic acid has not been tested. The aim of this study is to clinically evaluate the effect of six sessions of injections using a hyaluronic acid compound supplemented with vitamins, ions, and amino acids (CH) on hair density and quality in volunteers. For this purpose, twenty-six healthy volunteers of both sexes with moderate AGA were injected with 3 mL of CH using the micro-papule technique. All received six CH sessions at two-week intervals. Hair loss, hair thickness, and shine were assessed using macro-photographs. A follow-up questionnaire was given to the volunteers at 40 days and at 90 days after the last treatment to determine their level of satisfaction. In addition, a dermatological control was carried out to assess the tolerance of the treatment applied. The results indicate that, after treatment with CH, there is a significant improvement in the thickness, shine, and density of scalp hair, and that the treatment significantly reduces hair loss on the scalp. On a dermatological level, the tolerability of the treatment was excellent with no complications observed. In total, 88.5% of the volunteers indicated that CH treatment improved their appearance. In summary, it can be said that CH treatment reduces hair loss and promotes hair growth. It is suggested that this treatment is effective in reducing the signs and symptoms of alopecia.
