Abstract: Improvement of hair thinning was observed after a novel treatment course involving basalt stone and placental extract application in a patient of androgenetic alopecia. The patient was resistant to the general home care treatment. The response to the new treatment may be attributed to the decreased scalp hardness secondary to the improved blood circulation after basalt stone massage and the hair growth-promoting action of the placental extract. Furthermore, recurrence of hair thinning was observed after suspension of this treatment; however, this hair thinning improved when the treatment was resumed.
