learn Overview

learn Alopecia Areata

autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss

learn GHK-Cu

Heard alopecia areata leaves scar-like spots? Some peptides are helping those areas regrow hair. Alopecia areata patches usually still have living follicles. Peptides are being studied as a possible add-on, but the evidence is small and early. See a dermatologist for treatment.

learn Salicylic acid

What makes alopecia areata different from other types of hair loss, and can topical Salicylic acid treatments help regrow the affected areas? Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition, and salicylic acid does not promote hair regrowth.

learn Finasteride

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.
Finasteride for alopecia: the definitive guide to using it correctly. Finasteride 1 mg daily blocks DHT and, in trials, slowed hair loss in most men over 6 to 12 months, though some men do not respond and the benefit lasts only while the drug is taken. It is prescription-only and carries a pregnancy contraindication.

learn TDM-105795

What types of alopecia or hair loss conditions might TDM-105795 be designed to target based on current research? TDM-105795 may target non-scarring alopecia, particularly androgenetic alopecia.
