The Latest Trends of Treatment for Alopecia

The document reviewed 46 papers on alopecia treatment, highlighting the effectiveness of 5α-reductase inhibitors like Finasteride and Dutasteride for androgenic alopecia, and Minoxidil for enhancing hair growth. Steroids were effective for alopecia areata, while Baricitinib, an immunosuppressant, showed promise. Emerging treatments like low-level laser therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) had minimal side effects. Traditional Chinese medicine, including herbal treatments and acupuncture, sometimes showed higher efficacy than conventional methods. The study emphasized the need for further research to validate these findings and integrate Western and Eastern medical approaches for comprehensive treatment.
