Abstract
Clinical evidence linking GLP-1 agonists to hair loss remains sparse.
- GLP-1 agonists are widely used for type 2 diabetes and obesity.
- There are conflicting theories regarding their effects on hair health.
- Some theories suggest risks like disrupted hair growth cycles or early hair loss.
- Other theories propose benefits such as better insulin sensitivity and improved blood flow to the scalp.
- Vigilant patient monitoring is necessary to understand the effects of GLP-1 agonist therapy on hair health.
