Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a prevalent condition that significantly impacts psychological well-being and quality of life. Traditional therapies such as minoxidil and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) offer varying degrees of success, while exosome therapy has recently emerged as a potential alternative. This review compares the effectiveness, safety, and patient-centered outcomes of exosome therapy, PRP, and minoxidil in the management of AGA. The findings suggest that exosome therapy shows the most promising results in terms of hair regrowth and safety, followed by PRP, which offers moderate benefits. Minoxidil remains the most accessible treatment, though with more limited effectiveness and the need for continuous use. Overall, exosome therapy appears to hold the greatest potential for long-term improvement. Further research is needed to guide clinical decision-making and optimize treatment outcomes.
雄激素性脱发(AGA)是一种普遍存在的病症,会对心理健康和生活质量产生重大影响。米诺地尔和富血小板血浆(PRP)等传统疗法取得了不同程度的成功,而外泌体疗法最近已成为一种潜在的替代方法。本综述比较了外泌体疗法、PRP和米诺地尔在AGA治疗中的有效性、安全性和以患者为中心的结果。研究结果表明,外泌体疗法在头发生长和安全性方面显示出最有前景的结果,其次是PRP,它有中等程度的益处。米诺地尔仍然是最容易获得的治疗方法,但其有效性更有限,且需要持续使用。总体而言,外泌体疗法似乎具有最大的长期改善潜力。需要进一步的研究来指导临床决策并优化治疗结果。
