TLDR Using 3% topical minoxidil can help women with hair loss, but more research is needed.
The document discusses the use of 3% topical minoxidil therapy for female androgenetic alopecia. Several studies have shown that the treatment is effective in promoting hair growth and reducing hair shedding in women with androgenetic alopecia. The therapy is generally safe, with only minor side effects such as facial hypertrichosis. However, larger studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness and identify the age group that will have the best response.
