Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a common chronic dermatological illness that affects both men and women. 1 Throughout their lives, it impacts up to 80% of men and 50% of women. 2 It is characterized by gradual thinning, miniaturization, and hair loss at the afflicted locations. The extent and intensity of hair loss vary greatly between frontotemporal recession and residual occipital band, and patients may go through several stages in between. 3
