Ruri D. Pamela

Male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia in male is a common condition with variable psychosocial impact with some individuals adapting well while others needing therapeutic support. Recently, topical combination serum containing growth factors, copper tripeptide, and Swertia japonica extract was introduced as adjuvant treatment for male pattern baldness. The randomized, single blind, and comparative study was done to assess the effectiveness and tolerability of the combination serum product versus placebo in six-months treatment using nano-fractional radiofrequency in androgenetic alopecia male patients. This pilot study represents the first independent case study of a combination of serum contain copper tripeptide and plant extract Swertia japonica for hair growth. The findings of this case study suggest that this formulation is safe and efficacious as adjuvant therapy for male pattern baldness.
