This study found that tensed Silastic-Dacron strips completely prevented stretch-back and sometimes compressed the remaining bald area after alopecia-reducing procedures, whereas retention sutures provided only partial prevention.
This review discusses the need for a comprehensive treatment approach to alopecia, highlighting the limitations of pharmacological treatments and the lack of research on psychological interventions, but reports no new clinical results.
This article reviews the complex etiology of alopecia and emphasizes the need for detailed pathogenesis studies in animal models to develop effective personalized treatments, without presenting new experimental data.
Kintor Pharma has finished enrolling the first patient in a Phase III trial for KX-826, a treatment for androgenetic alopecia (AGA). One user has set a reminder to check back on the topic in a year.
The user underwent a hair transplant 11 months ago and is satisfied with the results, regaining confidence. Post-operation treatments included oral minoxidil, finasteride, dutasteride, vitamin supplements, and occasional QR678 injections.
Combining therapies like scyllo-inositol, alpha-ketoglutarate, and autophagy-inducing supplements may enhance hair growth and prevent hair loss. Reporting individual results can accelerate progress in hair loss treatments.
Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.
Dutasteride may cause retrograde alopecia, with users experiencing hair loss on the neck and sides. Some users report slight improvement in hair thickness on top but no overall regrowth.
Can I use hair loss treatments (finasteride, minoxidil) after scalp micropigmentation?About half of clinics say finasteride can continue through scalp micropigmentation, and about half ask clients to pause topical minoxidil during the sessions and for roughly 30 days afterwards. That pause is clinic aftercare convention, not a label instruction - ask your prescriber first, because stopping minoxidil usually causes shedding.
Got small bald patches they say are from stress? PP405 sprays could help bring them back to life.PP405 is an experimental topical gel from Pelage Pharmaceuticals that inhibits the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier; its registered Phase 2 trial (NCT06393452) tested it once daily in 78 adults with pattern hair loss, for safety and tolerability. It is not approved, not for sale, and has not been studied in alopecia areata or stress-related shedding.
