Updates on the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia in Men

The document discussed androgenetic alopecia in men, a common and progressive form of hair loss characterized by the reduction of terminal hairs in specific scalp areas. The primary pharmacological treatments included topical minoxidil and oral finasteride, which were noted for their effectiveness. Additionally, hair restoration surgery, such as hair transplantation, was highlighted as a method to achieve permanent improvements in hair growth in affected areas. The continuation of minoxidil or finasteride treatment post-transplant was recommended to minimize further loss of existing terminal hairs.
