      community Any interesting future treatments around the corner

       7 upvotes 6 years ago
      Potential future hair loss treatments include stem cell therapy, Clascosterone (Breezula), Amplifica's signaling molecules, Botox, and dutasteride mesotherapy. Some treatments are promising but expensive, like Tsuji's technique, while others, like Botox, show unexpected results.

      community Occipitalis Muscle Tension Theory

       13 upvotes 7 months ago
      Scalp tension from the occipitalis muscle is theorized to contribute to hair loss, but most believe DHT and genetics are the main causes. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are considered more effective than addressing scalp tension.

      learn Tofacitinib

      • How does tofacitinib differ when used orally versus topically in hair loss treatment research? Oral tofacitinib acts on immune signalling throughout the body and has the stronger regrowth evidence in alopecia areata, alongside an FDA boxed warning; topical tofacitinib aims to act only on the scalp, but the human evidence is a handful of small compounded-formulation studies with no large randomized trial. Neither route is approved for hair loss, and regrowth generally reverses after treatment stops.
