Androgenic alopecia (AGA) is a genetically predetermined condition influenced by the androgen hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The condition presents with progressive hair thinning, often leading to baldness in specific patterns for both men and women. This case report presents a 35-year-old male patient who experienced sporadic patches of facial hair loss and scalp thinning. Comprehensive diagnostic approaches were employed, including a detailed medical history, physical examination, and scalp biopsy, which confirmed the diagnosis of AGA. The patient underwent follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplantation, with positive postoperative results observed over a four-month period. The report discusses current treatment options for AGA, including pharmacological interventions such as minoxidil and finasteride, as well as surgical and cosmetic solutions like hair transplantation and laser therapy. Recent advancements in gene therapy and stem cell research also offer promising avenues for more effective and lasting treatments for AGA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
