    TLDR Nanoemulgel could be a promising new treatment for hair loss.
    The document from 2017 reviewed the potential of topical nanoemulgel as a promising treatment for alopecia areata, emphasizing its advantages in enhancing the solubility and permeability of active ingredients like Minoxidil. Nanoemulgel formulations were suggested to improve drug delivery to hair follicles, potentially leading to better treatment outcomes. The review covered the preparation, physicochemical properties, and characterization of nanoemulgel, as well as its benefits for localized drug delivery, including controlled and sustained release, and suitability for self-medication. It also addressed the need for more convincing studies in the hair loss treatment market and presented various studies and tests conducted on nanoemulgels to evaluate their properties and effectiveness, concluding the importance of understanding hair fiber composition and follicular targeting for developing effective hair care products.

      Oral Dutasteride and topical Finasteride may have similar effects on scalp DHT, but topical Dutasteride might be less effective due to poor absorption. Combining oral Dutasteride with topical Finasteride could potentially enhance results by blocking DHT in both the scalp and serum.
