The Phototrichogram Method for Evaluating Hair Growth-Promoting Preparations Using a Combination of Millet Fruit Extract, L-Cystine, and Calcium Pantothenate: Results of an In Vivo Study in Women with Androgenetic Alopecia

    January 2000
    W Gehring, M. Gloor
    TLDR The combination of millet seed extract, L-cystine, and calcium pantothenate significantly improved hair growth in women with female pattern hair loss.
    The study utilized the phototrichogram method to evaluate the effectiveness of a combination treatment consisting of millet fruit extract, L-cystine, and calcium pantothenate in promoting hair growth in women with androgenetic alopecia. The in vivo investigation demonstrated that this combination could potentially stimulate hair growth, providing a promising treatment option for female patients suffering from this type of hair loss. The results were presented at the 73rd meeting of the North German Dermatological Society in Potsdam in 2000.

      Key treatments for hair preservation include minoxidil, finasteride/dutasteride, and microneedling, with additional options like specific shampoos, oils, biotin, zinc, tretinoin, clascoterone, and low-level laser therapy. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reducing stress, and addressing nutrient deficiencies can also support hair health.

      community Minoxidil can prevent hair follicle miniaturization!?

      Minoxidil can prevent hair follicle miniaturization, not just stimulate hair growth. Finasteride and dutasteride don't work for everyone, suggesting DHT may not be the sole cause of hair loss; hair loss could be due to multiple factors, including autoimmune conditions.
