ABSTRACT
Alopecia, a widespread issue affecting both genders, often manifests as androgenetic alopecia, although a thorough examination is needed to rule out other causes. This chapter focuses on the treatment of androgenetic alopecia. Finasteride and minoxidil, the Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments, offer stability and in some cases improvement in scalp coverage. Platelet-rich plasma exhibits positive results as an off-label alopecia therapy. For eligible individuals, hair transplantation proves effective, using healthy follicular units to restore hair-bearing areas. Multiple options allow for the tailoring of interventions to each patient.
