Androgenetic Alopecia: Overview, Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, and Treatment

This document from 2013 provides an overview of androgenetic alopecia (AGA), a common form of hair loss that affects both men and women. The paper covers the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and treatment of AGA, including genetic factors, comorbidities, and various treatment options such as topical products, supplements, low-level laser therapy, and hair transplantation. The authors conclude that while there are a variety of treatments available for AGA, few have been FDA approved, and continued research into newer therapies, including cell-based therapies, is needed to improve outcomes for patients with AGA.
