Background: Treatments for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) include different drugs, but a treatment based on stabilized hyaluronic acid has not been tested. The aim of this study is to clinically evaluate the effect of six sessions of injections using a hyaluronic acid compound supplemented with vitamins, ions, and amino acids (CH) on hair density and quality in volunteers. Methods: For this purpose, twenty-six healthy volunteers of both sexes with moderate AGA were injected with 3 mL of CH using the micro-papule technique. All received six CH sessions at two-week intervals. Hair loss, hair thickness, and shine were assessed using macro-photographs. A follow-up questionnaire was given to the volunteers at 40 days and at 90 days after the last treatment to determine their level of satisfaction. In addition, a dermatological control was carried out to assess the tolerance of the treatment applied. Results: The results indicate that, after treatment with CH, there is a significant improvement in the thickness, shine, and density of scalp hair, and that the treatment significantly reduces hair loss on the scalp. On a dermatological level, the tolerability of the treatment was excellent with no complications observed. In total, 88.5% of the volunteers indicated that CH treatment improved their appearance. In summary, it can be said that CH treatment reduces hair loss and promotes hair growth. Conclusions: It is suggested that this treatment is effective in reducing the signs and symptoms of alopecia.
