community BPC-157 and Angiogenesis. Bro-Science-Execution-Plan
BPC-157 may promote hair growth by increasing angiogenesis, similar to how Minoxidil works, though no direct research confirms this yet. Users report combining BPC-157 with Minoxidil and finasteride for better results, but concerns about long-term safety exist.
community If Minoxidil Beards are permanent, why should Finasteride be unable to keep Minoxidil Gains on the scalp?
Whether Finasteride can keep alive the hair gained by Minoxidil after quitting it, and why beard hairs are not as susceptible to miniaturization. It is suggested that scalp hair may be dependent on Minoxidil and that DHT could be countered with Finasteride to some extent, but there is no definitive data proving this.
community The Effect of Intradermal Botox on Androgenetic Alopecia and Its Possible Mechanism (Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (2020)
Intradermal botulinum toxin (BTX) injections effectively treat androgenetic alopecia (AGA) by inhibiting TGF-β1 secretion from hair follicles. Further research and long-term follow-up are needed to confirm these findings.
community What about botox injections on the scalp?
Botox injections on the scalp may help with hair loss, as one small study showed improvement in 8 out of 10 subjects. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
