    TLDR The document concludes that new treatments for hair loss may involve a combination of cosmetics, clinical methods, and genetic approaches.
    The 2017 document provides an extensive review of hair physiology, detailing the anatomy of the hair follicle, the hair growth cycle, and the role of various cells and growth factors in hair development and regeneration. It discusses the mechanisms behind hair growth and the challenges in creating cosmetic treatments targeting specific hair cycle phases. The document also examines factors influencing patterned hair loss, such as androgenetic alopecia, and the distinction between pharmaceuticals and cosmetics in hair growth promotion. Clinical tests on compounds like adenosine, t-Flavanone, cytopurine, and pentadecan showed promising results for improving hair loss. Additionally, it covers the effectiveness of ketoconazole, low-level laser therapy, and hair transplantation, while highlighting the potential of regenerative medicine and cell-based therapies, with a European clinical trial showing the safety of autologous human dermal sheath cup cells for hair loss treatment. The document underscores the social importance of hair and anticipates future treatments combining cosmetic products, clinical methods, and genetic manipulations.

      in Research/Science  14 upvotes 11 months ago
      The user shared their 5-year hair loss journey, initially using a product called Triphasic Progressive by Rene Furterer, which gave good results. Later, they switched to FDA-approved medications finasteride and minoxidil, which also helped, but they noticed the most significant progress with Triphasic. They're considering trying it again if minoxidil doesn't show improvements.

      community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  143 upvotes 7 months ago
      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.

      community Why is dht bad for scalp hair but good for hair on the rest of body?

      in Satire  109 upvotes 1 year ago
      The conversation discusses why DHT (dihydrotestosterone) negatively affects scalp hair but promotes growth elsewhere on the body. Various opinions include genetic predispositions, differences in hair follicle reactions to DHT, and the potential role of Omega-3 in reducing inflammation and promoting hair health.
