This study aims to compare the effectiveness of secretome injection and intradermal platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection on hair density and the terminal-to-vellus hair ratio in patients with androgenetic alopecia at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah General Hospital.
This research is an experimental study with a randomized controlled clinical design involving two intervention groups: one receiving secretome injections and the other receiving intradermal platelet-rich plasma injections. Evaluations are conducted by measuring hair density and the terminal-to-vellus hair ratio before and after treatment using trichoscopy/dermoscopy.

UC-MSC secretome was injected intradermally into the scalp at the alopecia site, with injections spaced 1 cm apart and administered every 2 weeks for 8 weeks
The centrifuged plasma solution was injected intradermally into the scalp at the alopecia site, with 0.1 ml per injection point spaced 1 cm apart, administered every 2 weeks for 8 weeks

RECRUITINGTerminal-to-Vellus Hair Ratio
The ratio of terminal hair (thick, pigmented hair, diameter \>40 micrometer) to vellus hair (fine hair, diameter \<30 micrometer) in areas of androgenetic alopecia
Time frame: Baseline (before treatment), post-intervention (at 8 weeks), and during follow-up visits (months 3, 6, and 9)
Hair density
The number of hairs per specific scalp area was measured in hairs/cm²
Time frame: Baseline (before treatment), post-intervention (at 8 weeks), and during follow-up visits (months 3, 6, and 9)
