Background: The Norwood classification system is commonly used to ascertain the progress of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) with a robust and quick assessment, but it lacks precision in the frontal region, notably during the onset of male pattern hair loss. Objective: Due to the ongoing technical improvement in restorative hair transplantation practices, we aim to develop simple quantitative methods for measuring the progression of AGA. Methods: Here, we used a quantitative system to evaluate the progress of AGA of the frontal receding hairline in a case study with 41 patients. Results: We found subtle differences in the extent of frontotemporal regressions that were not captured by the Norwood classification system. The majority of patients exhibited significantly larger right-sided frontotemporal regressions. Conclusion: These results indicate that the quantification system used is a valuable tool in complementing the Norwood classification system to more precisely determine the recessing hairline characteristics in early stages of hair loss. Our findings also suggest that hairline regression in AGA-affected patients is asymmetrical, a hitherto unnoticed disorder-associated phenomenon with unknown biological causality.

Abstract Background Androgenetic alopecia (AGA), the most common form of hair loss in men, involves the progressive loss of visible pigmented terminal hair on the scalp in response to circulating androgens. AGA is an autosomal disorder which begins in puberty in genetically predisposed individuals. Aim of the Work To study the effectiveness and safety of the reactive oxygen species scavenger Nacetyl-cysteine (NAC) as a single therapy and in combination with the topically applied minoxidil for treatment of the early-onset androgenetic alopecia in men. Patients and Methods The present study included 100 patients with male pattern hair loss whose age ranged from 18 to 30 years old, recruited from dermatology clinics in Ain Shams University Hospital and Kafr El Sheik University Hospital. Results Overall, all treatments could improve significantly some of the trichoscopic parameters as compared to the control group who did not receive any treatment. The number of terminal hair count increased and the vellus hair count decreased in response to either of treatments; minoxidil, NAC, or both as compared to control. These changes were noticed at both the vertex and frontotemporal sites. The treatment was generally tolerable and the side effects encountered did not necessitate stoppage of the treatment course. Conclusion On the basis of the findings of current study we can conclude that, the role of trichoscopy in increasing the accuracy for diagnosing hair disorders as well as to detect response or failure to treatment, N-acetylcysteine (NAC) improved significantly most of the trichoscopic features of AGA and it was was generally tolerable and the side effects encountered did not necessitate stoppage of the treatment course.

Androgenetic alopecia is the most common cause of non-scarring alopecia in men. Even though the past couple of years have seen significant advancements in the management of patterned hair loss. Medical therapy as a standalone treatment remains unsatisfactory and surgical restoration of hair has found to be extremely gratifying as far as male pattern hair loss is concerned. In this article, we will review the latest developments in the field of hair transplantation undertaken in androgenetic alopecia.

Hair loss or alopecia is a common dermatological issue that can affect millions of human population of all ages and both gender, male and female. Frequently, alopecia has been found to be associated with significant adverse effects or reduction of psychological and self-esteem. Consequently, this may lead to psychological problems such as depression and anxiety, thus it may negatively impact the quality of life as well. There are several types of hair loss including androgenetic alopecia (AGA), alopecia areata (AA), alopecia totalis (AT), Alopecia Universalis (AU), cicatricial alopecia (CA), senescent alopecia (SA), traction alopecia (TA) and telogen effluvium. However, this review will focus on the androgenic alopecia only. Androgenic alopecia (AGA) also known as male pattern baldness is referred to as hair loss that often occurs in men after puberty caused by the androgen. In addition, this review will discuss on the hair growth cycles and their mechanism on the androgenic alopecia and lastly the management of androgenic alopecia using plant derivatives and methods used in order to prolong the efficacy of androgenetic alopecia treatment.

Dermoscopy is a non-invasive diagnostic technique for the observation of pigmented skin lesions, permitting the recognition of morphologic structures not visible by the naked eye. The technique consists of placing mineral oil, alcohol or even water on the skin lesion that is subsequently inspected using a hand-held lens, a hand-held dermatoscope, a stereomicroscope, a camera, or a digital imaging system. The magnifications of these various instruments range from 6x even up to 100x.The fluid placed on the lesion eliminates surface reflection and renders the cornified layer translucent, thus allowing a better visualization of pigmented structures within the epidermis, the dermoepidermal junction and the superficial dermis. Male-pattern hair loss (MPHL), also known as androgenic alopecia and male pattern baldness, is hair loss that occurs due to an underlying susceptibility of hair follicles toshrinkage due to the influence of androgenic hormones. Male-pattern hair loss is the most common cause of hair loss and will affect up to 70% of men and 40% of women at some point in their lifetimes.Men typically present with progressive hair loss at the temples and vertex balding, whereas women typically present with diffuse hair loss over the top of their scalps.Platelet-rich plasma is defined as a volume of the plasma fraction of autologus blood with an above baseline platelet concentration usually more than 1,000,000 platelets/μL.PRPs regenerative potential depends on the levels of released GFs.Alpha granules of platelets contain GFs, which upon activation, are responsible for the initiation and maintenance of the healing response. PRP is known to carry more than 20 GFs and other protein molecules, such as adhesion molecules, chemokines, which interact to promote inflammation, cell proliferation, differentiation, and regeneration.In this study, the aim was to objectively assess the proposed therapeutic effect of PRP in treatment of AGA through measuring hair density using dermoscopic evaluation, hair pull test, gross pictures and patients satisfaction scale.The study included 30 patients of different grades of androgenetic alopecia, our patients were 15 males and 15 females ranging from grade Ι to ΙΙΙ by Ludwig classification for FPHL and from grade 3 to grade 6 for Norwood and Hamilton classification for male androgenetic alopecia of a total 6 sessions, 4 successive ones with 3 weeks apart of a total 12 weeks and 2 separate sessions, 24wk and the last evaluation was done 1 year later to the 1st session.The results were classified depending on the lasting effect of the PRP into short term results lasting up to 4 months from the start of the sessions which gave statistically positive values regarding the hair pull test results and hair follicles counted by dermoscope and the long term results starting from the 5th month up to 1 year duration from the start of the sessions which showed decline in both numbers of hair pull test and Which indicatesthe needfo retreatment or addition of another line o medical treatment e.g., minoxidil or finasteride. Also PRP can be considered ahumble tool in the treatment of AGA, as it is sufficient alone without the medical treatment.
