research Classification of the types of androgenetic alopecia (common baldness) occurring in the female sex
This article presents a classification system for stages of female-pattern androgenetic alopecia to aid early diagnosis and mentions existing systems for rare male-pattern cases, but reports no new clinical results.
research Serum androgens and prostate-specific antigen levels in androgenetic alopecia: is there a difference between frontal and vertex baldness?
This study found that men with vertex baldness had higher serum dihydrotestosterone levels compared to those with frontal baldness, suggesting different hormonal profiles between these two groups in androgenetic alopecia.
research Prevalence of fronto-vertex baldness and its association with family history of androgenetic alopecia in Korean men using basic and specific classification
This letter to the editor discusses the prevalence of frontal-vertex baldness and its association with family history in Korean men but reports no new findings.
research “Toupee or not Toupee?” Sic (et Non). Social perceptions of Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia)
In this study, 13 men with male pattern baldness were rated significantly more attractive and somewhat healthier when wearing a custom-made toupee, with higher attractiveness ratings coming from male judges than female judges.

Otherwise, you may waste money on HIMS 3-in-1 and risk heart or sexual side effects, just cuz a guy w/ probably biotin deficiency thinning got great results here...
Male pattern baldness and diffuse thinning can both be forms of androgenetic alopecia (AGA), and it's important to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis. Treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and biotin are discussed, but their effectiveness varies, and side effects are a concern.
community Treatment of male androgenetic alopecia with topical products containing Serenoa repens (Saw Palmetto) extract.
The conversation discusses treating male pattern baldness with topical products containing Saw Palmetto extract. Specific treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841.
community AGA/male pattern baldness and loss of hair in the past 6months
A 25-year-old male experienced significant hair loss due to telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia. He began using finasteride, minoxidil, and vitamins, seeing some regrowth but remains worried about hair density.
community Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year
A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.
community Why do we get bald from evolutionary perspective
Baldness is not an evolutionary disadvantage because it occurs after reproductive age. Treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are used for androgenetic alopecia but don't address the root cause.

8 / 801 results- What causes male pattern baldness? Male pattern baldness is caused by genetic sensitivity to the hormone DHT.
- Can women get hair transplants? Women can get hair transplants, and procedures are tailored to their specific hair loss patterns.
- Is horsetail extract strong enough to help with androgenic alopecia, or only mild hair loss? No published human trial has tested horsetail extract as a treatment for androgenic alopecia; the available evidence is laboratory work and trials of silicon supplements, which point at hair quality rather than at DHT-driven pattern baldness.
- 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.
- Is saw palmetto good for androgenetic alopecia or only for mild hair loss? Saw palmetto may help with androgenetic alopecia, not just mild hair loss.
