“…By contrast, so-called female patterned alopecia may be truly 'androgenetic' for only a small number of women with thinning hair, and so other age-associated alopecias in women are likely to have other causes. 97 Regardless of cause, age-related alopecia affects at least 50% of men by the age of 50 years and 50% of women by the age of 60 years. 98 White hair was thicker on average, showed more medulla 99,100 and grew faster than pigmented hair.…”

“…The frequency and severity of this type of hair loss increases with age [5]. It usually appears in the third and fourth decades and affects 30% to 50% of men by the age of 50 and around 80% of caucasian men aged over 70 years [1,2,[6][7][8][9].…”

Androgenetic Alopecia: a Review and Emerging Treatments

Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) is the most common noncicatricial alopecia that leads to the progressive miniaturization of the hair follicle. Scalp terminal hairs are converted into vellus hairs, primarily due to two factors: genetic predisposition and hormonal stimulation.The incidence and prevalence of AGA increases with age. The onset of AGA is gradual, and when this pathology progresses, the anagen phase shortens and the telogen phase remains constant. The shedding area varies from patient to patient and is usually most marked at the vertex in men, while women with AGA generally lose hair diffusely over the crown.Topical minoxidil and oral finasteride (5-alpha-reductase type II inhibitor) are the gold-standard therapies for AGA and are currently the only Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs for the treatment of AGA.The currently available treatments for AGA are sometimes perceived as having limited effectiveness; therefore, the identification of new therapies for this pathology is of utmost importance.This article aims to review the pathogenesis, diagnosis of AGA and all the new emerging treatments for this entity in order to prevent its progression and improve the results of this pathology.

Two types of polymeric micro-needles with 250 and 750 µm lengths were prepared by a micromolding process. The geometry of dissolving micro-needles with minoxidil was investigated and the mechanical property of polymer micro-needles was also evaluated. Water dissolving micro-needles containing minoxidil were successfully inserted into skin and delivered minoxidil to the skin layer after 30 min of insertion. The observed hair growth was less when the minoxidil treatment was not applied or used without the micro-needles than that the minoxidil was applied by micro-needles. Histologically, these hair follicles became bigger, and the hair papillae were totally encircled by the hair bulbs. In this feasibility test, we show the successful delivery of minoxidil, and effective treatment of hair loss can be possible by using dissolving micro-needles with minoxidil.Keywords: water dissolving polymer, micro-needle, microstructure, micromolding, hair growth.
