    TLDR Hairline recession makes Asian males look older, especially in mid-young age; proper hairline position can help them look younger.
    The study investigated the effect of different types of hairline recession on perceived facial age (PFA) in East Asian males of different age groups. The results showed that hairline recession has a significant effect on PFA and accounts for the apparent old appearance of the face, especially in mid-young males. The study also emphasized the specific roles of different types of hairline recession in PFA and suggests that appropriate hairline position can significantly rejuvenate the appearance of males with alopecia.

      January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings”
      The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
