Predicting Hair Loss With AI: A Deep Learning Framework Combining Genetic And Scalp Health Data

Genetics primarily determine hair loss, not lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, or habits. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are recommended, but ultimately, happiness should not depend on hair.

The user is concerned about hair loss despite using oral finasteride, oral minoxidil, and topical minoxidil. They are seeking advice on additional blood tests to identify potential causes.

Hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and potential mRNA therapies are discussed. There is skepticism about targeting specific genes due to the complex genetic nature of hair loss.

Balding scalps have more androgen receptors, leading to increased TGF-beta, which causes blood vessel loss and hair follicle miniaturization. Blocking androgen signaling and TGF-beta may help prevent hair loss.

David Barreto shared that a London-based research group is conducting a 12-month trial for a new nutraceutical treatment for pattern hair loss, designed with Dr. Carlos Puig. The trial aims to provide robust data, with results expected in 1-2 years, potentially representing a significant advancement since finasteride’s introduction in 1997.

The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, specifically using Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. It also mentions the importance of raising vitamin D3 levels.
