    The review discusses various hair loss treatments, noting that microneedling and PRP therapy are promising for conditions like androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, though further research is needed. Hair transplantation is effective for significant hair loss but is invasive and expensive. Pharmacological treatments, including oral minoxidil and topical finasteride, are becoming popular due to their ease of use and fewer side effects. Nutritional supplements like zinc, selenium, and vitamin E might help with deficiency-related hair loss, but more studies are necessary to validate their effectiveness.
