research Exhaustive Analysis of Scalp Hair Regression: Subjective and Objective Perception from Initial Hair Loss to Severe Miniaturization and Drug-Induced Regrowth
Hair loss reduces hair thickness and coverage, but drug treatments mainly revive dormant hairs rather than reverse thinning; patients often undervalue their hair loss severity.
research Comparative Transcriptome Profiling Provides New Insights Into Mechanisms of Androgenetic Alopecia Progression
AGA progression involves increased lipid synthesis, electron transport, and hair follicle miniaturization.
research Does Low-Energy Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser Therapy Improve Hair Regrowth in Female-Pattern Hair Loss?
Low-energy fractional CO2 laser therapy significantly improves hair regrowth in women with female-pattern hair loss.

User made progress with hair loss using Fin, Min, and microneedling. Experienced side effects like improved skin, brain fog, and memory issues, but adjusting Fin dosage helped.
community HRT is literal black magic. Fin 1 mg/day @ 4 years, min 2x/day @ 3 years, Estradiol 4mg/day @ 3.5 months, and Spironolactone 100mg/day @ 3.5 months (estra & spiro are medicines you should likely not take if you are a cis man)
User shared progress on hair regrowth using Fin 1 mg/day for 4 years, Min 2x/day for 3 years, Estradiol 4mg/day, and Spironolactone 100mg/day for 3.5 months. They noted significant hairline recovery and advised against HRT for cis men due to feminizing effects.
community My Theory Regarding a Cause and Cure for Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss theory suggests imbalance between Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) and Androgen Receptor (AR) activation. Proposed treatment includes upregulating VDR, downregulating AR, and improving mitochondrial health.
community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community Comprehensive Microneedling Guide
Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.
