Abstract
Context: Androgenic alopecia (AGA) is a common condition affecting both men and women, characterized by progressive hair loss due to genetic and hormonal factors. Hair loss has significant impacts on psychosocial well-being and quality of life.
Evidence Acquisition: A comprehensive review of peer-reviewed studies was conducted, including clinical trials, observational studies, and emerging treatment reports published from 2000 to 2024. Databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched using keywords related to AGA, hair growth, and therapies.
Results: Current treatments for AGA include topical agents like minoxidil and finasteride, oral medications, and advanced options such as hair transplantation. Emerging therapies, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP), low-level laser therapy (LLLT), JAK inhibitors, and gene therapy, show promising efficacy in promoting hair regrowth. Combination therapies often enhance clinical outcomes.
Conclusion: While traditional treatments remain effective, emerging therapies and combination approaches offer improved results for AGA management. Ongoing research in gene therapy and novel molecular interventions may transform future therapeutic strategies.
