                                   Androgenetic Alopecia Treatment Market

Overview:

There is a vast number of treatment options for treating androgenic alopecia (AGA), and the decision-making process of selecting the best course of treatment depends on many factors including patient needs, compliance, budget, and extent of hair loss. A traditional herbal medicinal plant, rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) extract has a broad range of actions, including increasing microcapillary perfusion and prostaglandin E2 production. It also inhibits leukotriene B4 production. Light-based therapy has shown efficacy in AGA and has been reported to increase hair shaft diameter, pilary index, and terminal hair count. The effect of LLLT may be mediated through the activation of the Wnt/b-catenin signaling pathway. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have been used to treat AGA in several studies. Several studies report improved hair counts and increased pilary index following treatment with ADSCs compared to controls. A randomized clinical trial found that 5% minoxidil applied once daily produced significantly greater improvements in anagen hair counts than 2% minoxidil or placebo.
