      The user started using minoxidil and finasteride about four months ago for hair thinning but is unsure if it's working, as they haven't noticed new hair growth and feel their hair has thinned. Other users advise patience, suggesting that significant results may take 12 to 24 months, and recommend consistency in treatment.

      The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
