Exosomes show promise for improving wound healing, reducing aging signs, preventing hair loss, and lightening skin but require more research and better production methods.
Researchers finding that microRNA can potentially regrow 90% of lost hair, and the challenges involved in moving this research forward to human trials. Various treatments for hair loss, such as finasteride and minoxidil, have been discussed.
Microneedling with 0.6 mm needles combined with 5% minoxidil is more effective for hair count and thickness than minoxidil alone or with 1.2 mm needles. Biweekly microneedling at 0.6 mm depth is recommended for better results in treating androgenetic alopecia.
Hair loss therapies focusing on hair follicle sugar metabolism and aldose reductase. Potential treatments include magnesium supplements, avoiding high glycemic index foods, and antioxidants.
AI advancements, like AlphaFold, are speeding up drug discovery for hair loss, promising more effective treatments. Current options like minoxidil and finasteride have limitations, but new developments could improve solutions in 5-10 years.
