    GlossaryHair Growth Mechanisms

    biological processes regulating hair follicle development and cycling

    Hair Growth Mechanisms refer to the biological processes and pathways that regulate the development, growth, and shedding of hair. These mechanisms involve a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors that influence the hair follicle cycle, which includes the anagen (growth), catagen (regression), and telogen (resting) phases. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing treatments for hair loss conditions like alopecia.

      community Is it true that most hair loss treatments fall into one of two categories? If not, what am I missing?

      in Treatment  4 upvotes 8 months ago
      Hair loss treatments are generally categorized as anti-androgens, like finasteride and RU58841, which prevent hair loss by targeting DHT, and growth stimulators, such as minoxidil, rosemary oil, microneedling, and LLLT, which promote hair growth by increasing blood flow and growth factors. The user is seeking to confirm these categories and understand if there are other treatments or mechanisms of action.

      The post discusses the difference in effects of Minoxidil (Min) on scalp and facial hair. The user questions why Min-induced hair growth on the scalp is temporary, while facial hair growth seems permanent, even after stopping Min. They propose theories, including different Min mechanisms on body and facial hair, the role of DHT, and the possibility of not achieving fully terminal hair. The responses include personal experiences and theories about Min's effects on hair growth.
