    TLDR A new treatment using stem cell-conditioned media significantly improved hair growth in people with temporary hair loss.
    The retrospective cohort study involved 50 patients with Telogen Effluvium (TE), a temporary hair loss condition, who were treated with adipocyte-derived mesenchymal stem cells-conditioned media (ADSC-CM) for five months. The treatment resulted in a significant increase in hair density, thickness, and number of follicular hair units, with a response rate between 70% and 92%. The study found that the effectiveness of ADSC-CM was not influenced by the patient's age or type of TE. Despite its limitations, such as the lack of a control group and small cohort size, the study concludes that ADSC-CM is a promising new treatment strategy for TE. Further large-scale randomized controlled trials are recommended to confirm these findings.

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  72 upvotes 4 months ago
      Topical finasteride is considered a safer option for hair regrowth with fewer systemic side effects compared to oral finasteride. Some users report similar efficacy and side effects between topical and oral treatments, while others prefer topical due to reduced systemic exposure.

      community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
