Glossary Anagen Alopecia

hair loss during the active growth phase

Anagen Alopecia refers to hair loss that occurs during the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle, which is the active growth phase. This type of alopecia is often caused by factors that disrupt the hair follicle's ability to produce hair, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, leading to rapid and widespread hair loss.

community Seen Alfatradiol mentioned on here a few times recently and found this study - in case anybody is interested. Translated from German.

4 upvotes 4 years ago

Alfatradiol (0.025%) is an effective and safe treatment for androgenetic alopecia in both men and women, increasing anagen hair rates with minimal side effects. Users discuss its cost-effectiveness and ease of use compared to other treatments like finasteride and RU58841, with some combining it with stemoxydine and Minoxidil.

learn Caffeine

Does caffeine stimulate hair growth or only slow hair loss? Caffeine stimulates hair follicles in laboratory cultures, and one open-label trial in 210 men found a 0.2% caffeine topical non-inferior to minoxidil 5% on an anagen-ratio endpoint; there is no placebo-controlled evidence that it regrows hair, and none at all in alopecia areata or telogen effluvium.

learn Procyanidin

Are Procyanidin based hair tonics or shampoos effective against androgenic alopecia? Procyanidin-based hair tonics may promote hair growth but lack definitive evidence for AGA.

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.
