About this study

Nowadays, multiple treatment modalities have been applied clinically to treat androgenic alopecia, such as Follicular unit transplantation(FUT), finasteride, platelet-rich plasma injection(PRP), etc. In this clinical trial, the investigators aim to analyze the effect of nanofat grafting on treating androgenic alopecia in male.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will treat the hair loss area of a patient by processed nanofat grafting. The participants were asked to come back 1、3、6、9、12 months after treatment for further follow-up.

Before and after the treatment, the hair and follicular will be assessed subjectively by satisfaction assessment, dermatoscope.
