research Modern concept of the etiology and pathogenesis of androgenetic alopecia
This review discusses recent research on androgenetic alopecia's etiology and pathogenesis, highlighting both androgenic and nonandrogenic factors but reports no new experimental results.
research A Review on Androgenic Alopecia: Etiology, Pathogenesis, Pharmacological and Non-Pharmacological Treatment Approaches
This review discusses the prevalence, pathogenesis, and treatments of androgenic alopecia but reports no new research findings; the authors emphasize the need for further exploration of novel treatment options.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: update on Etiology, Pathophysiology, Diagnosis and Treatment
In this review, the authors explored current and novel treatment options for androgenetic alopecia, noting both FDA-approved pharmacologic treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride and various non-pharmacologic and surgical methods, including hair transplantation and scalp micro-pigmentation.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Prolactin the Cause of Hair Loss? ABS-201 the Cure?
Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.
community Oral minoxidil gives hair everywhere except scalp,plss help
Oral minoxidil is causing body hair growth but not improving scalp hair, despite using dutasteride and finasteride. Users suggest waiting longer for results, checking vitamin levels, and considering additional treatments like topical minoxidil, dermarolling, and supplements.
community 57% increased chance of pattern hair loss independently associated with the consumption of sugary beverages in men (p<0.001) Pt 2
Sugary beverages increase the risk of pattern hair loss in men by 57%. Treatments discussed include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community Has anybody heard of this new cure?
A new hair loss treatment shows promise in mice but is unproven in humans. Effective treatments include finasteride and minoxidil.
community Is it possible to retain minoxidil gains after quitting? Has anyone been able to do that on here? If so, how?
Minoxidil gains are typically lost after stopping its use, but some suggest finasteride or dutasteride might help retain them, though results vary. Microneedling and low-level laser therapy are mentioned as alternative treatments, but minoxidil is noted for having a more significant impact.

5 / 37 results- 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.
- Argan oil: Is it useful for androgenic alopecia, or just for making hair look nice? Argan oil primarily improves hair appearance but lacks proven effectiveness for androgenic alopecia.
- Is Verteporfin effective for both androgenic alopecia and alopecia areata? Verteporfin has never been tested in people with pattern hair loss or alopecia areata. It is an eye drug with only mouse wound data behind the hair interest.
- Does Vitamin B5 prevent DHT-related androgenic alopecia? There is no evidence that vitamin B5 prevents DHT-related androgenic alopecia; no human trial has tested it for this.
- Is saw palmetto good for androgenetic alopecia or only for mild hair loss? Evidence is weak and mostly in men with mild to moderate hair loss. In the one comparison study, fewer men improved on saw palmetto than on finasteride.
