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 Salicylic acid

What makes alopecia areata different from other types of hair loss, and can topical Salicylic acid treatments help regrow the affected areas? Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition, and salicylic acid does not promote hair regrowth.

learn Hydrocortisone

When should hydrocortisone be used for hair loss — is it only for irritated scalps or also alopecia areata? Hydrocortisone is a low-potency topical steroid whose labelled use is calming scalp irritation such as dermatitis; for alopecia areata no verified human trial supports it on its own, and dermatologists generally use stronger prescription corticosteroids instead.

learn Ginkgo biloba

Is ginkgo biloba effective for all types of hair loss, including alopecia areata? Ginkgo biloba is not proven effective for all types of hair loss, including alopecia areata.

learn Tofacitinib

What is tofacitinib, and why is it discussed in relation to autoimmune-related hair loss such as alopecia areata? Tofacitinib is a prescription JAK inhibitor approved for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ulcerative colitis — not for alopecia areata. It is discussed for hair loss because a 2014 case report and a 2016 open-label trial reported regrowth in severe alopecia areata, but that use is off-label, the regrowth relapsed after stopping, and the drug carries an FDA boxed warning.

learn Alopecia Areata

autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss

learn Hair Transplant

Hair transplantation moves DHT-resistant follicles from a donor area (back and sides of the scalp) into thinning or bald areas. The transplanted hair is generally permanent, though surrounding native hair can keep thinning.

learn Hair Multiplication

extract, clone, and reinsert your own hair cells

learn Osteopontin

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

learn Baricitinib

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