Hair follicles are smaller in people with androgenetic alopecia compared to those with normal scalps.
research Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia
CCCA is a scarring hair loss condition mainly in African descent women, possibly caused by genetics and hairstyling, treated with gentle hair care and medications.

PP405 is ineffective for miniaturized, fibrosed hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. AMP303 may activate hair follicle stem cells, but minoxidil and finasteride are still the main treatments.
community The Big Fat Layer II
Hair loss treatment should target dermal white adipose tissue (DWAT) to restore hair follicles. Potential remedies include tocopherol (vitamin E), botox, rosiglitazone, niacin, kojyl cinnamate esters, and ADP355.
community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
community Been on finasteride 1mg a day for nearly 8 months now and my thinning is way below baseline. Is it time to consider dutasteride?
A user has been on finasteride for 8 months with worsening hair thinning and is considering dutasteride. Others suggest adding minoxidil, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and possibly trying RU58841.
community Occipitalis Muscle Tension Theory
Scalp tension from the occipitalis muscle is theorized to contribute to hair loss, but most believe DHT and genetics are the main causes. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are considered more effective than addressing scalp tension.
