TLDR Some treatments for hair loss, like finasteride, biotin, and minoxidil, can be effective, but their success varies by individual case.
The document reviews various types of alopecia and their treatments, focusing on 57 medicinal and cosmetic preparations available in Poland. The most common active substances in these preparations are finasteride, biotin, and minoxidil. The document also discusses different types of alopecia, including primary cicatricial alopecia, alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, and drug-induced alopecia, each with different causes and prevalence rates. Treatments for hair loss include topical steroids, oral prednisone therapy, caffeine, dietary supplements, Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), and stem cell treatment.
