learn Hair Transplant

Hair transplantation moves DHT-resistant follicles from a donor area (back and sides of the scalp) into thinning or bald areas. The transplanted hair is generally permanent, though surrounding native hair can keep thinning.

learn Baricitinib

JAK inhibitor that reduces inflammation and immune attacks on hair follicles, leading to potential hair regrowth, especially in alopecia areata cases

learn Bimatoprost

a synthetic prostamide used to treat eyelashes also shows promise for stimulating hair growth on scalp

learn Bicalutamide

Can bicalutamide stop DHT from shrinking your hair follicles? Bicalutamide blocks androgens at the receptor rather than lowering DHT, and some dermatologists prescribe it off-label for women with pattern hair loss. The published evidence is retrospective case series and one small pilot study, with no randomized trial; it is a prescription drug that requires liver monitoring and is contraindicated in pregnancy.
What results can you expect from using bicalutamide on your scalp? There is no published human study of bicalutamide applied to the scalp for hair loss, no licensed topical product and no established dose, so no result can be predicted from it. The evidence that exists is for the oral tablet in women, which is a prescription drug requiring liver monitoring and contraindicated in pregnancy.
Why are some women using bicalutamide to fight hormonal hair loss? Bicalutamide blocks androgens, helping women combat hormonal hair loss effectively.

learn Botox

How does Botox target the tension that may be blocking your hair growth? Botox for hair loss is experimental and off-label: one small open-label pilot study of 50 men reported an 18% hair-count increase, but there is no placebo-controlled trial and the proposed scalp blood-flow mechanism has never been measured in patients.

learn Baicapil

Losing hair from hormonal imbalance? Baicapil might block DHT without messing with your hormones. No published study shows that Baicapil blocks DHT — the only data on the ingredient itself is the manufacturer's own unpublished dossier, and the baicalin research behind the claim is cancer cell-line work in which the effect was explicitly independent of the androgen receptor.
