Abstract
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to assess the improvement of patterned hair loss with microneedling radiofrequency (MNRF) and its adverse effects in patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An open-label study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MNRF for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia. Patients diagnosed with patterned hair loss received three MNRF treatment sessions once monthly. Efficacy was assessed by comparing before and after photographs and trichoscopy. RESULTS: Twenty-four patients were recruited. Excellent improvement in hair growth was observed in 14 patients, fair improvement in seven patients, and no improvement in three patients without significant adverse effects. Slight pain lasting for a day was the most common adverse event following MNRF. CONCLUSION: Overall, significant improvement was observed in the majority of the patients without significant side effects.
