Zusammenfassung

Pathogenesis Androgenic alopecia or the pattern of masculine hair loss is an loss mediated by dihydrotestosterone, the active form of testosterone. Approved treatments There are currently only two FDA-approved treatments for androgenic alopecia, minoxidil and finasteride, together with a third FDA-recognised treatment, low frequency laser. Other treatments Although there are other treatments which are also used to treat androgenic alopecia, they are not associated with the same level of efficacy as the above-mentioned treatments. They include the use of platelet-rich plasma and, in the case of female androgenic alopecia, oral contraceptives and anti-androgens. Vitamin complexes with amino acids are also used in clinical practice which, although they have not been proven to be effective in trials, may in some cases increase the thickness of the hair.
