May 2026 in “Open Access CRIS of the University of Bern” Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), used for type II diabetes and obesity, have shown mixed effects on hair conditions. While some studies report hair regrowth in androgenetic alopecia and reduced inflammation in cicatricial alopecia, others associate GLP-1RAs with telogen effluvium. Due to varied findings, careful clinical evaluation and monitoring are advised. Further controlled studies are needed to understand GLP-1RAs' impact on hair biology and ensure safe use without discontinuing beneficial treatments.
