research Psychological Effect, Pathophysiology, and Management of Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
Minoxidil and finasteride can slow hair loss and stimulate regrowth, but won't restore all lost hair or reverse complete baldness.
research Evaluation and treatment of male and female pattern hair loss
Early diagnosis and treatment, using finasteride, minoxidil, or hair transplantation, improves hair loss outcomes.
research PATHOBIOLOGY OF ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
research Minoxidil vs Finasteride in the Treatment of Men With Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride slightly better long-term, minoxidil faster initial results, but stopping minoxidil may cause hair loss.
research Androgenetic alopecia: pathogenesis and potential for therapy
Hair loss needs more research for better treatments.
research Allergic contact dermatitis to topical minoxidil solution: Etiology and treatment
Minoxidil can cause skin allergy; use alternative solvents or treatments if allergic.
research Possible mechanisms of miniaturization during androgenetic alopecia or pattern hair loss
Hair loss occurs due to fewer papillary cells, smaller follicles, and shorter growth phases.
research The effects of finasteride on scalp skin and serum androgen levels in men with androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride effectively reduces hair loss by decreasing androgen levels.
research Male pattern hair loss: current understanding
Genetics and hormones cause hair loss; finasteride treats it safely.
research Activation of Cytoprotective Prostaglandin Synthase-1 by Minoxidil as a Possible Explanation for Its Hair Growth-Stimulating Effect
Minoxidil boosts hair growth by activating PGHS-1.
research Diagnostic and predictive value of horizontal sections of scalp biopsy specimens in male pattern androgenetic alopecia
Horizontal scalp biopsy sections effectively diagnose and predict MPAA, with follicular density and inflammation impacting hair regrowth.
research Hair follicle embryogenesis in the human. Characterization of events in vivo and in vitro.
