Various non-hormonal therapies, either prescribed systemically such as certain hair-specific vitamins, or applied via the topical route, such as 2% Minoxidil, permit a normalisation of androgenic hair loss. The trichogenic action of these products should be verified in each individual with a comparative study using a trichogram and a phototrichogram. Any alopecia, be it large or small, may cause aesthetic discomfort. Currently, no medical or cosmetic product can give hope for a discernible and definitive hair regrowth. Only a micrograft reimplantation, hair by hair, produces tangible, aesthetically-denser hair in the bald region.
