research P187 : Folliscope analysis of temporal involvement in Korean women with female-pattern hair loss

January 2015 in “프로그램북(구 초록집)”

In this study, researchers found that nearly half of Korean women with female pattern hair loss showed temporal scalp involvement, with a decrease in temporal hair density compared to occipital areas.

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 Distribution of Cu, Mn, Se and Zn in occipital and frontal hair zones and hormonal profiles in women with androgenetic alopecia

July 2013 in “Surgery”

This study observed that using only a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor was ineffective for treating androgen-dependent hair loss in women, possibly due to differing copper levels influencing enzyme activity.

research Dermoscopy in female androgenic alopecia: Method standardization and diagnostic criteria

129 citations , January 2009 in “International Journal of Trichology”

This study found that trichoscopy criteria can distinguish female androgenic alopecia from chronic telogen effluvium, with specific features achieving 98% diagnostic specificity.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 10 months ago

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 Prolactin the Cause of Hair Loss? ABS-201 the Cure?

29 upvotes 2 months ago

Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.

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.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 2 years ago

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 'How Balding Treatments Became the New Botox' article in the Cut really made an impression on me

126 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride are popular but often lead to side effects and mixed results. The discussion stresses consulting medical professionals and being wary of unproven treatments in the hair loss industry.
