Clinical Pilot Study Evaluates Non-Invasive Electrical Stimulation Device for Male Pattern Baldness
A six-month clinical pilot study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology evaluated the efficacy of a wearable electrotrichogenic device in 21 men with androgenetic alopecia. Daily 30-minute applications of low-level electrical stimulation resulted in a 19.3% increase in total scalp hair density and an 8.8% increase in hair shaft thickness at six months. Participants reported no adverse events or severe side effects throughout the trial duration. The authors concluded that non-invasive electrical stimulation may serve as a viable non-surgical physical intervention for progressive hair thinning.
