The major factors that have impacted the growth of Alopecia Treatment Market are as follows:
Drivers:
Ø Advancements in Treatment Options
Development of targeted therapies, including JAK inhibitors for alopecia areata. Innovations in stem cell therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, and hair transplantation techniques and growing popularity of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) for non-invasive treatment.
