    GlossaryAndrogen Levels (Androgen Measurement)

    refer to hormone concentrations influencing male traits and hair growth

    Androgen levels refer to the concentration of androgens, which are a group of hormones that play a key role in male traits and reproductive activity. These hormones, including testosterone, are present in both men and women but are typically higher in men. Abnormal androgen levels can affect hair growth, leading to conditions like androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) or hirsutism (excessive hair growth).

      community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

      in Research/Science  17 upvotes 1 week ago
      Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

      community What else is good. Besides the big 3.

      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.
