Gradual thinning and loss of hair in males/females is called Androgenic Alopecia(AGA) or Male/Female Pattern Hair Loss. It can be attributed to different reasons like genetics, lifestyle habits, age, hormonal reasons etc.
Currently, a flood of treatments claiming to solve hair loss in men have invaded the market. Here, we attempt to bring clarity to what treatments are safe to be done and have evidence backed results.
Exosomes:
Exosomes are extracellular messengers, that via microneedling can be delivered to the hair follicle to stimulate hair follicles resulting in new hair growth. Results are seen just after the first session. No side effcts and the the downtime post the session is only 24 hours making microneedling with exosomes the most effective and safest treatments for AGA.
Microneedling with Dutasteride:
While topical application and oral consumption of dutasteride have been there for a long time, the side effcts assosciated with the same, make patients hesitant to start the same. However, combining microneedling with dutasteride have shown faster better results and lesser side effects. However, not to be used in reproductive age women.
Hair Transplant:
Above treatments are effective when the hair follicle is active. However, once the hair follicle becomes inactive the only solution that remains is hair transplant. Viable hair follicles are selected from a donor area on the patient and transplanted to the concerned area. The resulting hair growth has to be then mainatined with treatments like PRP and microneedling.
