research Control of Hair Growth and Follicle Size by VEGF-Mediated Angiogenesis
VEGF helps hair grow and determines follicle size by increasing blood vessel growth.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Tazarotene shows strong standalone hair regrowth potential, not just a Minoxidil enhancer. Backed by VEGF, HF regeneration, and angiogenesis pathways. Here’s why.
Tazarotene shows potential as a standalone treatment for hair regrowth by stimulating new hair follicle formation and promoting angiogenesis, similar to microneedling effects. It can be used topically without minoxidil, but users should start with a low concentration to avoid irritation.
community Minoxidil actually reduces wrinkles
Minoxidil may improve or worsen skin quality, with topical forms causing dryness and wrinkles, possibly due to alcohol content, while oral forms have fewer side effects. Some users consider using tretinoin to mitigate negative effects.
community NMN Promotes Cell Proliferation and Hair Growth by Reducing Oxidative Stress
NMN shows promise in promoting hair growth by reducing oxidative stress and weakening androgens. It may be a beneficial addition to hair loss treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
community Surprisingly thorough study on He-Shou-Wu/Fo Ti
He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
community dunno if it's growing anything but it's making my scalp red
Hair loss and potential treatments, primarily focusing on Finasteride and Minoxidil. Other solutions discussed include PRP, dermarolling, LLP, and scalp tension relief.
