Glossary Inducible Hair Loss

hair loss triggered by external factors like stress or medications

Inducible Hair Loss (IH) refers to hair loss that is triggered by external factors or conditions, such as medications, stress, or physical trauma. Unlike genetic or autoimmune forms of hair loss, IH is typically reversible once the triggering factor is removed or managed.

research Inducible, reversible hair loss in transgenic mice.

3 citations , June 2002 in “Transgenic Research”

This study suggests that inducible transgenic mice showing hair follicle changes similar to telogen effluvium in humans might serve as a useful model for understanding this type of hair loss.

Induction of Hair Growth in Hair Follicle Cells and Organ Cultures Upon Treatment with 30 kHz Frequency Inaudible Sound via Cell Proliferation and Antiapoptotic Effects

research Induction of hair growth in hair follicle cells and organ cultures upon treatment with 30 kHz frequency inaudible sound via cell proliferation and antiapoptotic effects

January 2022 in “Biomedical Reports”

This study suggests that inaudible sound at 30 kHz may promote hair growth and inhibit hair loss signals in human dermal papilla cells, indicating potential as a new treatment for androgenic alopecia.

research Dihydrotestosterone-Inducible IL-6 Inhibits Elongation of Human Hair Shafts by Suppressing Matrix Cell Proliferation and Promotes Regression of Hair Follicles in Mice

173 citations , September 2011 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

IL-6 contributes to hair loss by shortening the growth phase and causing hair follicles to regress.

research HIF-1α Stimulators Function Equally to Leading Hair Loss Agents in Enhancing Dermal Papilla Growth

6 citations , January 2020 in “Skin Pharmacology and Physiology”

This study demonstrated that caffeine, minoxidil, and the HIF-1α-stimulating agent deferiprone significantly enhanced dermal papilla cell proliferation in a 3D culture model, suggesting deferiprone as a potential alternative to minoxidil.

research Inducible deletion of epidermal Dicer and Drosha reveals multiple functions for miRNAs in postnatal skin

82 citations , March 2012 in “Development”

This study found that deleting the miRNA processing enzymes Drosha and Dicer from mouse skin epithelial cells disrupted normal hair follicle development and maintenance, leading to follicular degradation and stem cell loss during the growth phase.

community PP405 Won't Work Long Term: Hair Follicle Damage Due to Abuse of the ISR System

67 upvotes 11 months ago

PP405 may damage hair follicles if used long-term, suggesting cycling might be necessary. Combining it with finasteride could help maintain hair growth.

community Efficacy and Tolerability of N-Acetyl-Cysteine for Treatment of The Early-onset Androgenetic Alopecia in Men

26 upvotes 4 years ago

N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) was found to improve hair parameters in men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia, showing increased terminal hair count and decreased vellus hair count, with good tolerability. NAC, used alone or with minoxidil, may help due to its antioxidant properties, though its effectiveness can vary among individuals.

community Making your own RT1640 in China

4 years ago

RT1640, a combination of cyclosporin A, minoxidil, and RT175, is discussed as a potential treatment for hair regrowth and repigmentation. The unique formulation aims to enhance hair follicle growth and restore hair pigment without the negative side effects of immunosuppressants.

community Cold and Japanese researchers. The Japanese began to suspect something. But they understood the mechanism to some extent. ( Cold shock therapy promotes hair growth in association with upregulation of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein and vascular endothelial growth factor).

36 upvotes 1 year ago

Cold shock therapy may promote hair growth, but cold alone is not effective. Combining treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, cold showers, spicy foods, and exercise may enhance results.

community Hair and plants analogy and dht (serious)

2 upvotes 5 months ago

Hair loss may be linked to DHT, which can both suppress and increase inflammation, potentially as a defense mechanism. Treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841 are discussed, but the exact cause of hair loss remains unclear.

learn HMI-115

HMI-115: Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Loss Treatment HMI-115 is an investigational anti-prolactin-receptor antibody being trialled for androgenetic alopecia. It is not approved anywhere; its hair-loss evidence is a 16-person Phase 1b announced only by press release, plus a completed 192-man Phase 2 in China whose results are not yet published.

learn TDM-105795

What types of alopecia or hair loss conditions might TDM-105795 be designed to target based on current research? TDM-105795 may target non-scarring alopecia, particularly androgenetic alopecia.

learn PP405

Got small bald patches they say are from stress? PP405 sprays could help bring them back to life. PP405 is an experimental topical gel from Pelage Pharmaceuticals that inhibits the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier; its registered Phase 2 trial (NCT06393452) tested it once daily in 78 adults with pattern hair loss, for safety and tolerability. It is not approved, not for sale, and has not been studied in alopecia areata or stress-related shedding.

learn procapil

Want to stop hormonal hair loss without touching your hormone levels? Procapil could block the enzyme doing the damage. Procapil's supplier describes it as inhibiting 5-alpha reductase at the scalp without changing hormone levels, but the published support is cell and animal work plus one small human study of a caffeine-plus-Procapil formula. It is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair-loss treatment, and no trial has compared it with finasteride or minoxidil.

learn RU58841

Will I lose my hair if I stop using RU58841? (Spoiler: I might.) There is no published human trial of stopping RU58841; community members commonly report shedding within weeks to months, and androgen biology suggests miniaturization would resume once the topical anti-androgen is withdrawn.
