research Prevalence of androgenic alopecia in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome and characterization of associated clinical and biochemical features

48 citations , February 2014 in “Fertility and Sterility”

This study found that androgenic alopecia is present in 22% of women with polycystic ovary syndrome and is associated with acne and hirsutism, but not with increased biochemical hyperandrogenemia or metabolic dysfunction beyond PCOS.

research Androgenic Hormone Profile of Adult Women with Acne

33 citations , January 2013 in “Dermatology”

This study found that among women above 15 years with acne, 54.56% exhibited hyperandrogenism, with dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels most frequently elevated.

research Comparison of the Efficacy of Homologous and Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for Treating Androgenic Alopecia

24 citations , November 2017 in “Aesthetic Plastic Surgery”

In this study, researchers found that homologous PRP (h-PRP) significantly increased hair density more than both nonactivated (n-PRP) and activated (a-PRP) autologous PRP in patients with androgenetic alopecia, suggesting h-PRP as a potentially more effective treatment option for hair loss.

research Androgenic disorders of women: Diagnostic and therapeutic decision making

17 citations , January 1995 in “The American Journal of Medicine”

This review discusses the management of androgenic disorders in women, highlighting that treatment is generally more effective than recognized, though improvement may take weeks or months to appear.

research Variations in alanine aminotransferase levels within the normal range predict metabolic and androgenic phenotypes in women of reproductive age

8 citations , October 2010 in “Scandinavian Journal of Clinical & Laboratory Investigation”

This study found that normal ALT levels in women of reproductive age are linked with metabolic and androgenic abnormalities, suggesting ALT could be used beyond liver disease diagnoses.

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.

learn Argan oil

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.

learn Verteporfin

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.

learn Vitamin B5

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.

learn Follistatin

How does follistatin compare to finasteride or dutasteride for treating androgenic alopecia? Finasteride and dutasteride are prescription drugs with large controlled trials showing they lower DHT and slow androgenic hair loss, at the cost of documented hormonal side effects; follistatin targets a different, regenerative pathway but has only one small phase 1 human trial behind it, so it is experimental with unknown safety rather than a comparable alternative.

in Research 413 upvotes 1 year ago

Treating androgenic alopecia with minoxidil, finasteride, and antiandrogens, alongside exercise, cryotherapy, and natural substances to stimulate cold receptors for better hair growth. The method focuses on enhancing treatment effectiveness by considering environmental and behavioral factors and the role of cold receptors and muscle stress.
