January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
March 2023 in “Anais Brasileiros De Dermatologia” The document reviews various treatments for female pattern hair loss (FPHL), highlighting the efficacy and safety of different therapeutic options. Topical minoxidil is the most supported treatment but is ineffective for about 40% of patients. Oral minoxidil shows promise but has potential side effects. Antiandrogens like spironolactone and bicalutamide are effective in certain cases, with cyproterone being more effective in hyperandrogenism. Emerging treatments like microneedling, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) show potential but require more research. The review emphasizes the need for personalized treatment plans and further randomized clinical trials to improve FPHL management.
