    TLDR New biomaterial treatments for baldness show promise, with options depending on patient needs.
    The document reviews advanced biomaterial-based treatments for baldness, emphasizing the benefits of MXD-encapsulated HA-PLGA nanoparticles (NPs) and FNS-loaded PLGA NPs for enhanced drug delivery and reduced side effects. MXD-encapsulated HA-PLGA NPs show good skin permeability and minimal cytotoxicity, while FNS-loaded PLGA NPs offer prolonged drug release but may cause sexual dysfunction. Artificial hair implants provide immediate results but have surgical risks and are not suitable for all patients. Non-thermal plasma (NTP) therapy is a promising non-invasive option that stimulates hair growth by enhancing capillary formation and cell division. These methods offer new, effective avenues for treating alopecia, with the choice depending on patient preferences and specific conditions.
