Glossary Androgenetic Alopecia

genetic hair loss influenced by androgens, often hereditary

Androgenetic Alopecia, commonly known as Male Pattern Baldness or Female Pattern Baldness, is a genetic condition characterized by progressive hair thinning and loss. It is influenced by androgens (male hormones) and typically follows a recognizable pattern, such as a receding hairline in men and diffuse thinning on the crown in women. This condition is the most common cause of hair loss, affecting both genders, and is often hereditary.

learn Alopecia Areata

autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss

learn GHK-Cu

Do alopecia areata patches scar? And is there evidence for peptides? Alopecia areata patches usually still have living follicles and often regrow. One small trial of a cosmetic peptide lotion reported improvement, but no peptide is an approved treatment; see a dermatologist.

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 there is no evidence that salicylic acid helps hair regrow in it.

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 Baicapil

Patchy hair loss or alopecia areata: is there any evidence for Baicapil? 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; none of it involved people with autoimmune patchy hair loss.
