Abstract

Background: The most prevalent kind of male pattern baldness, androgenetic alopecia (AGA), has major emotional and social effects on affected individuals. The progressive miniaturisation of hair follicles is the outcome of a complex interaction between genetic predisposition and androgenic stimuli. Objеctivеs: The purpose of this review is to provide a thorough overview of AGA, including all aspects such as its clinical features, pathogenesis, diagnostic methods, and current treatment choices. Conclusions: AGA has several causes and progresses over time. Multiple diagnostic tests may corroborate a patient's symptoms and signs that point to a diagnosis. A variety of treatment methods were available, including surgical interventions, oral and topical therapies, and combination therapies, the latter of which showed encouraging results. The key to the best results is prompt intervention and ongoing treatment. New management avenues are opened up by emerging therapies such cell-based treatments and low-level laser therapy, although their long-term efficacy and safety need further research.
