In addition to the treatments mentioned, there are other complementary options that can improve results and adapt to different cases of hair loss.
Pyrilutamine.
Pyrylutamine is a drug in development that promises to be an effective and safe treatment for androgenetic alopecia, acting on the androgen receptor to reduce hair loss.
It works by inhibiting the androgen receptor, which reduces the action of male hormones on the body. This treatment is administered topically, directly to the scalp, thus avoiding the side effects that antiandrogens can have at a systemic level. Although still in the research phase, pyrylutamide promises to be a very effective treatment for androgenetic alopecia.
GT20029 (AR-PROTAC).
GT20029 is another investigational treatment that acts as a PROTAC (protein-directed degradation molecule) of the androgen receptor. This substance could offer a novel solution to combat hair loss in people with androgenetic alopecia.
Dermapen.
The Dermapen is a microneedling device that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in the scalp, improving blood circulation and promoting hair growth.
Ketoconazole.
Ketoconazole is an antifungal that can be applied topically to the scalp. It helps fight dandruff, relieves inflammation, and can be helpful in cases of alopecia associated with fungal infections.
Clascoteron: another investigational antiandrogen.
Clascoterone is another anti-androgen drug that appears to be very effective in treating androgenetic alopecia topically. It is currently in the research phase, so it is not yet available for commercial use. It is hoped that in the near future this treatment can be used safely and effectively to treat androgenetic alopecia.
Samirna: A gene therapy to treat androgenetic alopecia.
Samirna is a gene therapy that promises to be very effective in treating androgenetic alopecia. This therapy acts on the expression of certain genes related to hair loss, stimulating the growth of new hair follicles and improving hair quality. Although still in the research phase, samirna promises to be a revolutionary treatment for androgenetic alopecia.
