Managing Androgenetic Alopecia in Aesthetic Practice: Practical, Evidence-Based Treatment Strategies
Objectives: simplify the management of androgenetic alopecia in aesthetic practice. Focus to learn to identify common patterns of hair loss, choose safe and effective treatments including low-dose Finasteride, combine therapies like PRP and microneedling, structure 3–6 month treatment plans, and improve patient communication to boost adherence and satisfaction
Introduction: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is one of the most common aesthetic concerns, yet many still struggle with fragmented approaches and inconsistent results. This session focuses on simplifying AGA management by combining medical, injectable, and device-based therapies into clear, practical protocols.
Materials / method: This presentation is based on clinical experience and current evidence in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia. Protocols include the use of topical and oral medications (e.g., Minoxidil, Finasteride 0.5 mg), adjunctive treatments such as PRP, microneedling, and low-level laser therapy. Treatment plans are structured over 3–6 months with tailored combinations based on patient type, severity, and goals.
Results: Structured, multi-modal treatment plans for AGA showed improved patient satisfaction and visible hair density gains within 3–6 months. Combining oral agents with PRP, microneedling, and LLLT led to better outcomes than monotherapy. Patient adherence improved significantly when expectations were managed early and progress was tracked visually. These protocols proved effective across both male and female AGA patients in real world practice.
Conclusion: Managing AGA doesn't require complex algorithms, we just need a structured, consistent approach. By combining evidence-based treatments with supportive therapies and strong patient communication, aesthetic practitioners can achieve better clinical results and higher long-term satisfaction.
