TLDR Non-surgical hair restoration methods are evolving and important for delaying or complementing surgery.
This review discusses non-surgical hair restoration techniques, highlighting their evolution from topical treatments to advanced therapies like hormonal interventions, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), microneedling, and low-level laser therapy (LLLT). It emphasizes the importance of understanding hair follicle biology and selecting appropriate candidates, particularly those with androgenetic alopecia. Combination therapies are noted for targeting multiple biological pathways, with minimal downtime and the necessity for long-term adherence. Emerging treatments such as exosome-based therapies and advanced drug delivery systems are also explored. Non-surgical options are crucial for prejuvenation, potentially delaying or complementing surgical interventions.
