learn Valproic acid

Why is valproic acid not considered a standard cosmetic ingredient despite its potential effects on hair growth? Valproic acid is a prescription anticonvulsant with a boxed warning for liver failure, pancreatitis and harm to an unborn baby, so it is regulated as a drug, not a cosmetic. Its hair-growth evidence is mostly cell and mouse work plus one small human trial, and oral valproate itself causes hair loss in some patients.

learn TDM-105795

What is TDM-105795, and why is it being studied as a potential product for hair loss and hair growth support? TDM-105795 is an experimental topical drug that has been tested only in men with androgenetic alopecia, in two Phase 1 studies and one 16-week Phase 2 trial of 71 men. It is not approved, and no peer-reviewed trial results have been published.

learn Hair Transplant

What are the risks and side effects of a hair transplant? Reported risks include swelling, redness, folliculitis, numbness, infection, scarring and temporary shock loss; less often skin necrosis, poor graft growth or over-harvesting of the donor area.
What are the risks and side effects of FUE hair transplants? Providers describe most FUE side effects, such as swelling, redness, numbness and shock loss, as temporary, but FUE is surgery and the same sources report pain, infection, folliculitis and small permanent donor-site scars. Longer-lasting problems, including visible donor-area thinning or poor graft growth, are possible and are not covered by this provider survey.
What are the complications after a hair transplant? Pain and swelling are common. Infection (about 1-2% in the few studies that reported a rate), folliculitis, shock loss, cysts, scarring, poor growth and, rarely, skin necrosis can occur.
