TLDR Experts agree on guidelines to treat common hair loss effectively.

The Spanish Trichology Group of the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venererology (AEDV) developed a consensus statement on the management of androgenetic alopecia (AGA), a condition that can be challenging to treat due to the wide range of available treatments, many of which lack clinical trial evidence. The consensus was developed using the Delphi method, involving 34 dermatologists who agreed on 138 (86%) of the 160 proposed items. These items were divided into four blocks of recommendations: general considerations, pharmacologic treatment, procedures and hair transplant, and special cases. This consensus statement, based on expert opinion and available scientific evidence, aims to guide professionals in the routine management of AGA.
