learn Finasteride

Does hair strand thickness decrease in men with androgenic alopecia? Can finasteride help restore it? Androgenic alopecia thins hair strands by miniaturizing follicles. The pivotal finasteride trials (1,553 men, 1 mg/day, two years) report increased hair counts and improved assessed appearance, but they measured density, not the diameter of individual strands, so the effect on thickness itself is not established.

learn Baicapil

Struggling with patchy hair loss like alopecia areata? Baicapil might help by reducing inflammation and reactivating growth. There is no published trial of Baicapil in alopecia areata. The anti-inflammatory and hair-density claims come from the ingredient's manufacturer and from laboratory work on its plant extracts, in people with androgenetic-type hair loss rather than autoimmune patchy hair loss.

learn TDM-105795

What types of alopecia or hair loss conditions might TDM-105795 be designed to target based on current research? TDM-105795 may target non-scarring alopecia, particularly androgenetic alopecia.

learn Argan oil

Argan oil: Is it useful for androgenic alopecia, or just for making hair look nice? Argan oil primarily improves hair appearance but lacks proven effectiveness for androgenic alopecia.

learn Keratin

Are keratin treatments good for people with alopecia, or do they only improve the hair’s appearance? Keratin treatments improve hair appearance but do not address alopecia or stimulate growth.

learn Alopecia Areata

autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss

learn Baricitinib

JAK inhibitor that reduces inflammation and immune attacks on hair follicles, leading to potential hair regrowth, especially in alopecia areata cases

learn Osteopontin

signaling protein that, when suppressed, may grow hair by reducing inflammation and stem cell loss

learn Valproic acid

an anticonvulsant repurposed for hair loss via histone inhibition

learn Stemoxydine

chemical from L'Oreal that encourages hair to enter growth phase

community 29M alopecia or normal hair fall but something worked. Just wanted to share.

4 upvotes 1 year ago

A 29-year-old male experienced hair loss and found improvement using a combination of onion hair oil, castor oil, ketoconazole shampoo, and aloe vera gel with vitamin E, while discontinuing minoxidil and finasteride due to side effects. He emphasizes the importance of scalp massage and oiling for hair growth and reduced hair fall.

community Hair repigmentation of poliosis circumscripta in androgenetic alopecia patient treated with exosomes and fractional picosecond laser

2 upvotes 2 years ago

Exosomes combined with fractional picosecond laser treatment were effective in treating androgenetic alopecia and promoting repigmentation in white hair patches. The role of exosomes in hair repigmentation, particularly in conditions like poliosis, is not well-studied.

community Iron Deficiency Hair Loss vs Androgenetic Alopecia

5 upvotes 3 years ago

Iron deficiency can mimic androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and cause hair loss, but it is rare in men. Recovery is possible with supplements if iron deficiency is the cause, but genetic hair loss may still progress.

community What actually causes hair loss / androgenic alopecia?

in Chat 8 upvotes 1 year ago

DHT sensitivity at the scalp increases with age, contributing to androgenic alopecia. Treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 are discussed for managing hair loss.

community Pilose antler extracts promotes hair growth in androgenetic alopecia mice by activating hair follicle stem cells via the AKT and Wnt pathways

11 upvotes 2 years ago

Pilose antler extracts may promote hair growth in androgenetic alopecia by activating hair follicle stem cells through the AKT and Wnt pathways. However, results in mice may not directly apply to humans due to differences in genetic and biochemical conditions.
