Pathophysiology and Therapeutic Remodeling of Androgenetic Alopecia (Male Pattern Baldness) via Bio-Electric and Hydrodynamic Restoration

This paper challenges the current approach to treating Androgenetic Alopecia (Male Pattern Baldness) by highlighting the role of Galeal Tension-Induced Follicular Hypoxia as a key mechanism. It argues that chronic tension in the Galea Aponeurotica, caused by cranial muscle contraction, compresses perifollicular capillaries, leading to a hypoxic environment. This hypoxia triggers an increase in HIF-1alpha, which subsequently raises levels of TGF-beta1 and 5-alpha-reductase, contributing to hair loss through ischemic events rather than purely hormonal factors. The authors propose a Triad Therapeutic Protocol that addresses the electrolyte medium, vascular dynamics, and neurological signals to restore balance and potentially reverse hair loss.
