research Epithelial growth control by neurotrophins: leads and lessons from the hair follicle

99 citations , January 2004 in “Progress in brain research”

This review examines the role of neurotrophins in hair follicle development and remodeling, highlighting potential therapeutic applications for hair growth disorders, but it reports no new empirical findings.

research Hair growth control by innate immunocytes: Perifollicular macrophages revisited

21 citations , March 2019 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This review discusses the role of perifollicular macrophages in hair growth and suggests targeting them could be relevant for managing hair growth disorders, but reports no new results.

community Korean Laser Helmet has a 44% increase in hair growth vs 0% growth in placebo in a double-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial.

3037 upvotes 11 months ago

A Korean laser helmet increases hair growth by 44% compared to a placebo. Users discuss its cost-effectiveness, clinical support, and compare it to treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, focusing on wavelength and energy density.

community Scalp hydration's surprising link to hair growth cycle regulation

in Technology 23 upvotes 4 months ago

Scalp hydration may influence hair growth by affecting the signaling pathways that control the hair growth cycle. Users suggest using facial moisturizer, aloe vera, and oils for scalp hydration.

community Expectations control for SCUBE3

20 upvotes 2 years ago

SCUBE3, a protein linked to hair growth in moles, was discovered over 25 years ago and is being developed by Amplifica for potential hair loss treatment. Concerns exist about SCUBE3's association with cancer, as it is a protein that promotes cell growth, which could potentially trigger cancer development if used for hair growth therapy.

community Pelage PP405: New Hair Growth from Inactive Follicular Units - Phase 2a results at AAD 2026

1080 upvotes 5 months ago

PP405, a topical treatment, shows promise for hair growth by activating inactive follicles, with 66% of participants experiencing positive results. The treatment is well-tolerated and may proceed directly to Phase 3 trials, offering a potential alternative to minoxidil and finasteride.

community Hair growth stimulated by allogenic adipose-derived stem cells supplemented with ATP in a mouse model of dihydrotestosterone-induced androgenetic alopecia

41 upvotes 1 year ago

Adipose-derived stem cells with ATP improved hair regrowth in male and female mice with androgenetic alopecia. The most effective treatments were low dose stem cells with ATP for males and medium dose stem cells with non-liposomal ATP for females.

learn Caffeine

Does caffeine stimulate hair growth or only slow hair loss? Caffeine stimulates hair follicles in laboratory cultures, and one open-label trial in 210 men found a 0.2% caffeine topical non-inferior to minoxidil 5% on an anagen-ratio endpoint; there is no placebo-controlled evidence that it regrows hair, and none at all in alopecia areata or telogen effluvium.

learn Botox

How does Botox target the tension that may be blocking your hair growth? Botox for hair loss is experimental and off-label: one small open-label pilot study of 50 men reported an 18% hair-count increase, but there is no placebo-controlled trial and the proposed scalp blood-flow mechanism has never been measured in patients.

learn tamsulosin

Is tamsulosin linked to hair thinning or hair improvement as a side effect? Published tamsulosin trials, the product label and regulatory reviews do not establish a link to hair thinning, and no controlled study supports it as a hair-growth treatment; scattered post-marketing reports of alopecia exist but are not evidence of cause.

learn Fluridil

Can daily Fluridil application stop hair follicle miniaturization? The single published fluridil trial (43 men, 9 months, double-blind and placebo-controlled) reported more hairs in the growth phase, but it never measured follicle diameter and has not been replicated — so whether daily use stops miniaturization is unproven, and community users describe stabilization rather than regrowth.
