https://doi.org/10.52581/1814-1471/91/05
Abstract
Objective. Androgenic alopecia is the most common form of baldness in both men and women. This pathology is chronically progressive and is present in millions of people around the world. To date, it is considered proven that alopecia is associated with androgen exposure.
Purpose of the study: to compare the existing methods of treatment of androgenic alopecia according to the literature.
Material and methods. The search for research results by keywords was carried out in open databases. A total of 127 scientific sources have been analyzed, which consider the etiology, surgical approaches and methods of treatment of androgenic alopecia.
The results. The etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and conservative methods of treatment of androgenic alopecia according to the world literature are considered. Special attention is paid to the study of sources devoted to various methods of surgical treatment of androgenic alopecia.
Conclusion. Despite the fact that complex treatment of androgenic alopecia is currently used, autotransplantation of hair has been and remains the gold standard of treatment. Surgical hair restoration in alopecia ensures high graft survival and satisfaction from its use. The integration of molecular biology, genetics, pharmacology and clinical research can lead to new discoveries in the understanding and treatment of androgenic alopecia and improve treatment outcomes.
