Hi,

Beginning in the 1980s, drug therapy has given a very minor improvement option for baldness in both men and women. Minoxidil and its derivatives and Finasteride are still the gold standards as far as medications go that work even for a male pattern baldness.

Then we have hair transplantation as a tool largely centred around strip grafting and follicular transplant units being grafted and various newer tools like lasers are being used to in effect sharpen the same old procedure.

Many laser light therapies (LLT) have sprung up from head chambers to combs that promise much but deliver little. Mesotherapy (injection of various hair-raising cocktails) also is in a similar category!

Grateloupia elliptica is a red seaweed native to Jeju Island, South Korea, has the potential to treat androgenic alopecia as well as alopecia areata and is a more recent addition to the armamentarium.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein,
