    TLDR Hair autotransplantation is the best treatment for androgenic alopecia.
    The review analyzes 127 scientific sources on androgenic alopecia, focusing on its etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment methods. It highlights that while complex treatments are used, hair autotransplantation remains the gold standard due to high graft survival and patient satisfaction. The review suggests that advancements in molecular biology, genetics, pharmacology, and clinical research could enhance understanding and treatment outcomes for androgenic alopecia.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      A 23-year-old male experienced sudden hair loss over six months, losing about 30% of his hair. Treatments include 10% minoxidil, a hair spray, and a vitamin pill; opinions on the cause vary between normal hair loss due to deficiencies and male pattern baldness.

      The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
