Brief Summary:

Androgenetic alopecia is the most common type of hair loss in men, and affects approximately 50 percent of Caucasian men by age 50. The condition is characterized by the progressive loss of terminal hairs on the scalp in a characteristic distribution. The anterior scalp, mid scalp, temporal scalp, and vertex of the scalp are typical sites of involvement. "Male balding" and "male pattern hair loss" are additional terms used to refer to this condition.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of microneedling in androgenic alopecia
