Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology published the most articles, whereas Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology garnered the highest citation numbers. Yong Miao emerged as the most prolific author, and the most-cited paper was a review on low-level laser therapy. Key research hotspots included platelet-rich plasma, microneedling, exosomes, tissue engineering, Janus kinase inhibitors, etc.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This analysis emphasizes the increasing focus on noninvasive and regenerative treatments for hair loss.
