7 / 801 results- How does Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) differ from DHT-blocking treatments for androgenic alopecia? VEGF promotes blood vessel growth, while DHT-blocking treatments reduce hormone effects on hair follicles.
- Is Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) available as a topical treatment, or is it only stimulated indirectly? VEGF is not available as a topical treatment for hair loss.
- What is Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Beta Polypeptide, and how does it help stimulate new hair growth? PDGF-BB is a growth factor that signals to dermal papilla cells and promotes blood-vessel formation; mouse studies report it can push follicles into the growth phase, and human evidence comes only indirectly from PRP trials. No PDGF product is approved for hair restoration and there is no published human trial of PDGF-BB on its own.
- What is stem cell factor and why is it used in hair growth treatments? Stem cell factor promotes hair growth by signaling cell survival and division.
- How does sh-Polypeptide-7 help stimulate hair follicle activity or reduce scalp inflammation? sh-Polypeptide-7 is the INCI name for a lab-made form of human growth hormone (somatotropin) — not EGF, which is sh-Oligopeptide-1. Growth hormone and IGF-1 signalling is documented in hair follicle biology, but there is no published human trial of sh-Polypeptide-7 applied to the scalp for hair growth or scalp inflammation.

5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Epidermal Growth Factor Induces Proliferation of Hair Follicle-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Through Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-Mediated Activation of ERK and AKT Signaling Pathways Associated with Upregulation of Cyclin D1 and Downregulation of p16
This study found that epidermal growth factor significantly enhances the proliferation of hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells through the EGFR/ERK and AKT pathways, without involving the STAT3 pathway.
research 692 Study of the impact of SKPs’ secreted factors and of a botanical extract derived from jasmine on keratinocytes growth and reconstructed human epidermis thickness
This study found that secreted factors from skin-derived precursors, especially those pre-treated with jasmine extract, enhanced keratinocyte growth and influenced reconstructed human epidermis thickness in lab experiments.
research Growth factors IGF-1 and KGF and adipose-derived stem cells promote migration and viability of primary human keratinocytes in an in vitro wound model
This study suggests that using growth factors and ADSC-conditioned medium can enhance keratinocyte viability and migration in epidermal transplantation, potentially improving chronic wound healing rates with a patient-dependent effect.
research Enriched-GF: A Reproducible High-Yield Autologous Blood-Derived Growth Factor Method for Regenerative Medicine
In this study, researchers developed a new method called Enriched-GF, which enhances growth factor recovery from platelet concentrates through a combination of glass bead activation, freeze-thaw cycling, and calcium stimulation, outperforming conventional methods by providing higher and more consistent yields for regenerative medicine applications.
research Maintenance of high proliferation and multipotent potential of human hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells by growth factors
This study found that human hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells maintained their proliferation and differentiation potential when cultured with acidic fibroblast growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, or epidermal growth factor.

5 / 61 resultscommunity Everything you ever wanted to know about Pelage Pharma's PP405: how it works and what to expect
PP405 may encourage earlier hair growth and slightly increase visible hair count but does not reverse hair follicle miniaturization in male pattern baldness. It does not address damage to the dermal papilla or broken Wnt signaling.
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.
community A Theory on Why Microneedling Works
Microneedling may enhance hair regrowth by transferring stem cells to dormant follicles, improving the effects of minoxidil. Users discuss using microneedling with needle lengths around 1.5mm to stimulate hair growth.
community My derm said they came up with a new serum that is better then fin? What’s y’all’s thoughts
A new serum claims to enhance hair regrowth by amplifying oxygen delivery, improving the effectiveness of treatments like exosomes and peptides. Users are skeptical, questioning its efficacy compared to established treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
community Summary of Procapil video by Haircafe
Procapil is marketed as a natural hair loss treatment but lacks strong evidence and is industry-biased. Minoxidil and Finasteride are the only FDA-approved treatments for androgenetic alopecia.
