community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 9 months ago

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

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.

Are ARTAS hair transplant results permanent? Transplanted hair from ARTAS is generally considered permanent, but surrounding hair may still thin.

learn Baricitinib

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

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within weeks to months, and androgen biology suggests miniaturization would resume once the topical anti-androgen is withdrawn.
