July 2016 in “Chinese Journal of Dermatology” The study evaluated the efficacy and safety of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in 39 male patients over 6 months. Patients were divided into two groups: one receiving LLLT alone (21 patients) and the other receiving LLLT combined with oral finasteride (18 patients). Results showed significant hair density increases in both groups, with the combined treatment group showing greater improvements. After 6 months, hair density in the LLLT group increased from 166.67 to 184.59 hairs/cm², while the combined group saw an increase from 157.85 to 201.80 hairs/cm². Both treatments were effective, with no significant adverse effects reported, except for a mild warming sensation. The study concluded that LLLT is an effective and safe treatment for AGA, with enhanced results when combined with finasteride.

January 2014 in “프로그램북(구 초록집)” Male pattern hair loss (MPHL), affecting about 50% of both sexes, is linked to the enzyme 5-alpha reductase (5AR), which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, a key factor in hair loss. There are three isoenzymes of 5AR, with type 1 found in skin and hair follicles, and type 2 in male genitalia and hair follicles. Treatments include topical minoxidil and oral finasteride, a type 2 5AR inhibitor, which significantly improves hair growth and slows hair loss. Dutasteride, a dual inhibitor of type 1 and 2 5AR, has shown efficacy in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenetic alopecia, with a 2009 study in Korea demonstrating significant hair growth improvement. The lecture aimed to provide updates on 5AR inhibitors for better understanding and treatment of MPHL.
