Update on the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia

The 2015 review by S. Rinaldi et al. focused on the treatment of androgenetic alopecia, a common type of hair loss affecting over 70% of adult men and 50% of menopausal women, as well as a significant number of women of childbearing age. The authors emphasized the importance of early intervention to prevent the progression of the condition and the need to identify factors that could hinder the effectiveness of therapy. They found that patients who used certain supplements could be less responsive to medical treatments. The authors concluded that a comprehensive approach to treating patients with androgenetic alopecia was necessary, as the effectiveness of valid therapies could be affected if patients overlooked information received from specialists.
