learn Finasteride

Frontline, gold standard treatment for combatting androgenic alopecia

Does hair strand thickness decrease in men with androgenic alopecia? Can finasteride help restore it? Androgenic alopecia thins hair strands by miniaturizing follicles. The pivotal finasteride trials (1,553 men, 1 mg/day, two years) report increased hair counts and improved assessed appearance, but they measured density, not the diameter of individual strands, so the effect on thickness itself is not established.

learn Baricitinib

JAK inhibitor that reduces inflammation and immune attacks on hair follicles, leading to potential hair regrowth, especially in alopecia areata cases

learn Ketoconazole

antifungal with some anti-androgenic benefits, often used as a shampoo

learn Overview

learn Metformin

diabetes drug with anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and insulin-sensitizing properties

learn Scalp Micropigmentation

How much does scalp micropigmentation cost? Scalp micropigmentation typically costs between $1,000 and $5,000 depending on individual needs.
How long does Scalp Micropigmentation last, and does it need touch-ups over time? Scalp micropigmentation lasts 2 to 8 years and requires touch-ups every 1 to 5 years.

learn Stemoxydine

Is stemoxydine effective for early-stage thinning and alopecia? Stemoxydine may help improve hair density in early-stage thinning and alopecia.

learn Baicapil

Struggling with patchy hair loss like alopecia areata? Baicapil might help by reducing inflammation and reactivating growth. There is no published trial of Baicapil in alopecia areata. The anti-inflammatory and hair-density claims come from the ingredient's manufacturer and from laboratory work on its plant extracts, in people with androgenetic-type hair loss rather than autoimmune patchy hair loss.
