    TLDR Two women lost hair after mesotherapy for hair loss, with one having permanent and the other temporary hair loss.
    In a 2009 report, two women experienced patchy alopecia following mesotherapy treatments for androgenic alopecia. The first, a 32-year-old, received injections containing mesoglycan and developed an erythematous patch of alopecia, paraesthesias, trichodynia, and hair loss, with a marked decrease in hair density and almost no terminal anagen hair follicles on biopsy. After 3 months, she had residual scarring alopecia. The second, a 22-year-old, had four sessions with a homeopathic solution and developed erythematous patches of alopecia. Biopsy showed a prominent decrease in hair density, increased catagen follicles and telogen germinal units, and dilated infundibular ostia. She experienced complete hair regrowth after 7 months. The cause of hair loss was unclear, and no previous reports of alopecia associated with mesoglycan were found in medical databases.

      community Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year

      A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.

      community FCE 28260: A Forgotten 5α-Reductase Inhibitor

      in Research  330 upvotes 3 months ago
      FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
