Glossary Angiogenic

process of forming new blood vessels from existing ones

Angiogenic refers to the process by which new blood vessels form from pre-existing ones. This is crucial for wound healing and the growth of tissues, including hair follicles. In the context of hair and alopecia, promoting angiogenesis can improve blood supply to the scalp, potentially aiding in hair growth and the treatment of hair loss conditions.

research Dextran hydrogel scaffolds enhance angiogenic responses and promote complete skin regeneration during burn wound healing

527 citations , December 2011 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences”

This study found that dextran-based hydrogels promoted significant neovascularization and skin regeneration in mouse models of third-degree burns, without the need for additional growth factors or cells.

research Control of hair growth and follicle size by VEGF-mediated angiogenesis

520 citations , February 2001 in “Journal of Clinical Investigation”

This study found that VEGF significantly enhances perifollicular vascularization during the hair growth phase, accelerating hair regrowth and increasing follicle and hair size, while its inhibition retards hair growth.

research Angiogenesis: a Dynamic Balance of Stimulators and Inhibitors

322 citations , January 1997 in “Thrombosis and Haemostasis”

This review discusses factors influencing angiogenesis, focusing on vascular permeability factor as a key inducer and thrombospondin as a notable inhibitor, and recommends exploring molecular mechanisms for therapeutic interventions.

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.

Physio-metabolic method of treating androgenic alopecia. Cold receptors. The relationship between DHT, cold receptors, minoxidil and antiandrogens

community Physio-metabolic method of treating androgenic alopecia. Cold receptors. The relationship between DHT, cold receptors, minoxidil and antiandrogens

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.

46 upvotes 2 weeks ago

A 15-year-old is upset about androgenic alopecia and its effect on self-esteem. Recommendations include minoxidil, microneedling, hair systems, and focusing on self-confidence and therapy.

community Has anyone had success treating androgenic hair loss topically?

4 upvotes 3 months ago

A woman with androgenic hair loss, likely due to PCOS, is seeking topical treatments as oral medications are not an option. Suggested treatments include topical finasteride, spironolactone, and clascoterone, with spironolactone and clascoterone being safer options due to lower systemic absorption risk.

community Strategies for Treatment Resistant Androgenic Alopecia

in Treatment 5 upvotes 5 months ago

The conversation is about a person experiencing treatment-resistant androgenic alopecia despite using high doses of dutasteride and minoxidil, along with other treatments like microneedling and purilutamide. Suggestions include considering a hair transplant, checking medication authenticity, and exploring other treatments like RU58841 or topical estradiol.
