    TLDR New treatments for androgenetic alopecia show promise but need more research for validation.
    The document reviews recent advancements in treatment strategies for androgenetic alopecia, focusing on novel therapies such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), dutasteride mesotherapy, low-level laser therapy (LLLT), botulinum toxin, and emerging medications like clascoterone and setipiprant. PRP and LLLT have demonstrated efficacy in promoting hair regrowth, with significant studies, including one involving 1,383 patients for LLLT. Dutasteride mesotherapy and botulinum toxin are also explored for their potential benefits. Additionally, the potential of cell therapy and novel androgen receptor degraders are discussed as promising future treatments, offering hope for more effective management of androgenetic alopecia.
