Brief Summary   Androgenetic Alopecia is a nonscarring alopecia that affects both men and women. The onset of Androgenetic Alopecia is usually gradual and the condition slowly develops over the years. It is characterized by a progressive miniaturization of hair follicles with a characteristic pattern distribution in genetically predisposed men and women. Is the most frequent type of hair loss in both sexes. Although Androgenetic Alopecia is more frequent in adults, it can also appear in adolescents , though its prevalence among this younger population is not well established. Treatments include pharmacotherapy, surgery, and cosmetic aids. Despite the demand, there are only two FDA-approved medications to treat Androgenetic Alopecia: the potassium channel opener Minoxidil, and the DHT synthesis inhibitor Finasteride, both effective at controlling AGA with long-term daily use. However, they are costly, require lifelong treatment and may have side effects. Medical therapy is most effective when started in the early phases of hair loss and patients may elect to be treated non-surgically only. Undoubtedly, medical therapy will play a central role as an adjunct to surgical treatment by preventing the loss of surrounding native hair and thus enhancing the overall esthetic result. PRF is actually a new platelet concentrate concept which accumulates platelets and the released cytokines in a fibrin clot. Advanced-PRF (A-PRF) and Injectable-PRF (i-PRF), on the other hand, are different from conventional PRF and is based on the concept that low speed of centrifugation, yields maximum results and significantly higher number of leukocytes, platelets, and growth factor concentration-enhancing the regeneration process. This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of intradermal platelet rich plasma (PRF) therapy and topical minoxidil (5%) fortified with finasteride (0.1%)  in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia.
