TLDR New treatments for androgenetic alopecia show promise but need more research for validation.

Recent advancements in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) show promise with novel therapies such as low-dose oral minoxidil, topical finasteride, platelet-rich plasma, mesotherapy, low-level laser therapy, and botulinum toxin, which offer improved adherence and fewer side effects. Experimental approaches like clascoterone, pyrilutamide, and stem cell-based therapies target follicular regeneration and androgen receptor modulation. Advanced technologies, including PROTAC and AI-driven designs, aim for precision and minimal invasiveness. Despite these promising developments, the variability in studies and lack of standardized protocols limit their generalizability. Large-scale trials and standardized protocols are necessary to validate these therapies' efficacy and safety, moving towards precision medicine in AGA management.
