research Mapping the hair density, thickness, and volume in normal and androgenetic alopecia subjects with the digital microscope

December 2022 in “JEADV Clinical Practice”

In this study, researchers found that using a handheld digital microscope, hair diameter was a better determinant of perceived alopecia severity in androgenetic alopecia than hair density.

research Anatomical Mapping and Density of Merkel Cells in Skin and Mucosae of the Dog

6 citations , June 2016 in “The anatomical record”

This study found that Merkel cells in dogs are most numerous in sensory receptive areas like oral mucosa and facial skin, indicating a potential role in tactile sensation.

research Nonscarring hair loss disorders

3 citations , October 1982 in “Postgraduate Medicine”

This article discusses objective methods for assessing hair loss and notes that most types of hair loss can regrow without treatment, but effective treatments for pattern or senescent alopecia remain unavailable.

research Retrospective Assessment of Follicular Unit Density in Asian Men With Androgenetic Alopecia

9 citations , March 2017 in “Dermatologic Surgery”

This study observed slight variations in follicular unit graft density among different Asian populations in the donor areas used for hair transplantation.

research Glutamate transporter Slc1a3 mediates inter‐niche stem cell activation during skin growth

34 citations , April 2018 in “EMBO journal”

This study found that in mouse skin, the activation of stem/progenitor cells is synchronized across different niches during growth, with the glutamate transporter SLC1A3 playing a crucial role in this process.

community 21m, 2.5 months on 1mg dut & 2.5mg min

in Progress Pictures 10 upvotes 11 months ago

A 21-year-old male has been using dutasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole shampoo, and microneedling for hair loss, with plans to increase minoxidil dosage. He is experiencing no side effects and is planning a trichoscopy to assess hair regrowth.

community Most promising cures for baldness as of May 2026

70 upvotes 3 months ago

PP405 is the most promising future treatment for hair loss, aiming to reactivate dormant hair follicles. Clascoterone 5% is the most promising near-term drug, while current strategies include using finasteride or dutasteride to stabilize hair loss and minoxidil to stimulate growth.

community Why everyone should be using topical Dutasteride

45 upvotes 3 months ago

Topical Dutasteride, especially in a liposomal base, is recommended for enhanced scalp DHT suppression when used with oral Dutasteride. It is suggested to apply it twice a week for effective results without significant systemic impact.

community Accelerated Hair Loss from Creatine

137 upvotes 10 months ago

Creatine may cause hair loss in some individuals, especially those on finasteride, despite no scientific link. Personal experiences suggest individual sensitivity to DHT could be a factor.

community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.

in Technology 613 upvotes 4 months ago

A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.

learn Stemoxydine

Can stemoxydine help improve hair density in both men and women? Stemoxydine is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair loss drug, and the manufacturer's three-month trials enrolled men only, reporting a small increase in measured hair density. One small uncontrolled study that included women reported improvement in both sexes but more in men, so a benefit for women is not established.

learn Hair Transplant

Does a hair transplant increase hair density? A hair transplant can improve density, but results vary by individual factors.

learn Omega 3

How long does it usually take to see results in hair density after starting omega-3 supplements? There is no tested timeline: no trial has studied omega-3 on its own for hair density. The one human trial that reported an improvement ran for six months and used a combined omega-3/omega-6 plus antioxidant supplement, so any change would be judged in months rather than weeks — and may not appear at all.

learn Procyanidin

How long should Procyanidin be used before seeing visible improvements in hair volume or density? The two published human trials of 1% topical procyanidin B-2 measured results at four and six months, so any visible change would take at least that long. Both were small, industry-run studies in men only, and procyanidin is not an approved hair-loss treatment.
