Biomaterials for Treatment of Baldness.
Abstract
Androgenic alopecia affects men and women today, where many factors can be the unknown cause of it. It is essential to find a good, effective, and inexpensive treatment for it, as it is a prevalent dermatological condition. Many drugs like minoxidil (MXD) and finasteride (FNS) are commercially used for its treatment but we are still lacking in terms of a complete cure for alopecia. In this study, we came up with different treatment options for alopecia and assessed their advantages and disadvantages. Not only is the treatment part is essential, but the mode of drug delivery is equally important when it comes to hair and its growth for the maximum output. The following discussion considers the idea of nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with drugs and biomaterials used for the treatment of alopecia.
En bref
This study came up with different treatment options for alopecia and assessed their advantages and disadvantages, and considers the idea of nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with drugs and biomaterials used for the treatment of alopECia.
