research Hair Follicle Miniaturization in a Woolly Hair Nevus
The boy with woolly hair nevus had thinner hair and abnormal hair follicles, which improved with treatment but worsened when treatment stopped.
research Conflicting Reports Regarding the Histopathological Features of Androgenic Alopecia: Are Biopsy Location, Hair Diameter Diversity, and Relative Hair Follicle Miniaturization Partly to Blame?
Conflicting findings in androgenic alopecia are likely due to biopsy location, hair diameter diversity, and hair follicle miniaturization.
research Sublingual Minoxidil Increases Fiber Diameter in Male Androgenetic Alopecia: A Proxy for Reversal of Hair Follicle Miniaturization
Sublingual minoxidil increases hair thickness in men with hair loss.
research Association of Fibrosis in the Bulge Portion with Hair Follicle Miniaturization in Androgenetic Alopecia
Fibrosis in the bulge area of hair follicles can cause hair thinning in male pattern baldness, and drugs that inhibit fibrosis might help reverse this.
research Hair Diameter Diversity: A Clinical Sign Reflecting Follicle Miniaturization
Different thicknesses of hair strands can indicate the severity of hair thinning.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Minoxidil can prevent hair follicle miniaturization!?
Minoxidil can prevent hair follicle miniaturization, not just stimulate hair growth. Finasteride and dutasteride don't work for everyone, suggesting DHT may not be the sole cause of hair loss; hair loss could be due to multiple factors, including autoimmune conditions.
community The mechanism of androgenic alopecia
DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.
community Pyrilutamide phase III clinical trial results released
Pyrilutamide did not show effectiveness in regrowing hair compared to a placebo, but it may still help maintain existing hair by preventing DHT from causing follicle miniaturization. Some users believe it could be beneficial when used with other treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
community Is this broscience? From More Plates, More Dates
The conversation discusses whether finasteride's reduction of DHT and increase in scalp testosterone contribute to hair follicle miniaturization. Some participants argue testosterone does not cause miniaturization, while others suggest that even with reduced DHT, other androgens like testosterone may still contribute to hair loss.
community Creatine Doesn’t Cause Hair Loss: Stop the BS
Creatine does not cause hair loss, despite many users reporting personal experiences of hair shedding. Scientific evidence shows no link between creatine and increased hair loss or hormone changes.
