    TLDR Current treatments for non-scarring alopecia have limited effectiveness and side effects, while natural remedies may offer safer alternatives but need more research.
    This review explores the multifactorial causes and treatment options for non-scarring alopecia, including androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, and telogen effluvium. It highlights that current treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and JAK inhibitors have limited efficacy and adverse effects. Natural remedies show promise as alternative treatments with potentially fewer side effects, though their safety profiles need careful evaluation. The review emphasizes the need for further research to develop more effective and safer treatments to enhance patient outcomes and quality of life.
