Glossary Hair Growth Inhibition

process of slowing or stopping natural hair growth

Hair Growth Inhibition refers to the process of slowing down or stopping the natural growth of hair. This can be achieved through various methods, including the use of topical creams, laser treatments, or medications that target the hair follicles to reduce their activity. This term is often used in the context of managing conditions like hirsutism or for cosmetic purposes such as long-term hair removal.

research Hair growth inhibition by psychoemotional stress: a mouse model for neural mechanisms in hair growth control

127 citations , December 2005 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study provides evidence that psychoemotional stress inhibits hair growth in mice by affecting the brain-hair follicle axis, with specific neuropeptides and treatments modulating this effect.

research Hair growth inhibition by heparin in mice: a model system for studying the modulation of epithelial cell growth by glycosaminoglycans?

46 citations , May 1991 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

In this study, heparin was found to exert dose- and hair cycle-dependent effects on skin epithelial cells in mice, affecting hair follicle development and protein synthesis differently based on its administration method.

Inhibition of Hair Growth by Testosterone in the Presence of Dermal Papilla Cells from the Frontal Bald Scalp of the Postpubertal Stumptailed Macaque

research Inhibition of Hair Growth by Testosterone in the Presence of Dermal Papilla Cells from the Frontal Bald Scalp of the Postpubertal Stumptailed Macaque¹

33 citations , January 1997 in “Endocrinology”

Testosterone was found to inhibit hair follicle epithelial cell proliferation in adult stumptailed macaques only when dermal papilla cells from bald scalps were present, and this effect was reversed by the antiandrogen RU 58841.

research Topical minoxidil counteracts stress-induced hair growth inhibition in mice

30 citations , September 2003 in “Experimental Dermatology”

In this study on a murine model, researchers observed that a 5% minoxidil solution reduced stress-induced changes in hair growth, suggesting its potential for managing stress-related hair loss in humans.

research Analysis of Dermal Papilla Cell Interactome Using STRING Database to Profile the ex Vivo Hair Growth Inhibition Effect of a Vinca Alkaloid Drug, Colchicine

23 citations , February 2015 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences”

This study found that colchicine treatment significantly reduced hair fiber elongation in cultured hair follicles and altered protein expression and activity in dermal papilla cells, suggesting a role for the ubiquitin-proteasome system in its effects.

community Akkermansia improves testosterone-induced hair growth inhibition.

4 upvotes 2 years ago

Akkermansia bacteria can improve hair growth inhibited by testosterone, and metformin may increase Akkermansia, which could help with hair loss related to aging, insulin resistance, and inflammation.

community New & Improved Hair Growth Stack for Maximum Results

5 upvotes 1 year ago

A user shared a hair growth stack using minoxidil sulfate, valproic acid, bimatoprost, blue copper peptide, and other ingredients, emphasizing a gel-based formula for better skin tolerance. Another user suggested adding a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor like finasteride or dutasteride for more effective long-term results.

community RootBioTec? Basil extract for hair growth

3 upvotes 1 year ago

RootBioTec, a basil hairy root extract, claims to reduce hair loss by 31% in two months by inhibiting 5α reductase II and stimulating hair follicles. There is limited independent information available about its effectiveness.

community Did anybody use beta sisterol for hair loss? I saw in many articles in the internet that said that beta sisterol blocks dht by inhibiting 5a reductase type 2 enzyme and some reviews of people who said that it worked better than saw palmetto in terms of stoping hair loss and helping prostate.

in Research/Science 9 upvotes 3 years ago

Beta-sitosterol may inhibit 5-alpha reductase type 2 enzyme, potentially reducing DHT levels and promoting hair growth, similar to finasteride but possibly with fewer side effects. Its effectiveness and side effects compared to other treatments like saw palmetto and finasteride remain uncertain due to limited research.

community Can gains from stemoxydine be permanently kept with 5AR inhibitors?

in Research/Science 1 year ago

Stemoxydine's effects on hair growth are uncertain and not well-studied, with users reporting mixed results and concerns about maintaining gains. Some users combine it with 5AR inhibitors like Dutasteride, but results vary, and conditions like lichen planopilaris complicate treatment.

learn Follistatin

What is follistatin, and how does it influence hair follicle growth and regeneration? Follistatin blocks activin and related growth-inhibiting proteins, which in laboratory and animal work is described as keeping hair follicles in their growth phase; the only verifiable human evidence is a single small 2011 phase 1 injection trial, so follistatin remains experimental and is not an approved hair-loss treatment.
