research Finasteride is the main inhibitor of 5α-reductase activity in microdissected dermal papillae of human hair follicles

28 citations , February 1999 in “Archives of Dermatological Research”

Finasteride potentially treats hair loss by reducing DHT production.

research In Vitro Main Pathways of Steroid Action in Cultured Hair Follicle Cells: Vascular Approach

30 citations , December 1999 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings”

This study found that in vitro treatments with 5alpha-reductase inhibitors and androgen receptor antagonists strongly stimulate VEGF expression in dermal papilla cells.

Alopecias: Practical Tips for the Management of Biopsies and Main Diagnostic Clues for General Pathologists and Dermatopathologists

research Alopecias: Practical Tips for the Management of Biopsies and Main Diagnostic Clues for General Pathologists and Dermatopathologists

July 2023 in “Journal of Clinical Medicine”

This paper identifies challenges in diagnosing alopecia variants, emphasizing the importance of pathologists understanding hair follicle histology, biopsy types, and collaborating with dermatologists to improve diagnostic accuracy.

community Isn't it kind of strange that hair loss happens at where the 2 main superficial temporal arterty branches (temples and crown) are?

5 upvotes 3 years ago

Hair loss may be linked to blood flow and inflammation, with treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and quercetin being discussed. The conversation also mentions the role of 5AR enzyme distribution in hair follicles.

community The end of balding: We may have just found the secret to hair regrowth

in Technology 680 upvotes 1 year ago

MCL-1 is important for hair follicle stem cell survival, but its impact on human hair regrowth is unclear. Minoxidil and finasteride are the main treatments, with doubts about new discoveries leading to effective human solutions soon.

community PP405 Won’t Work: Follicle Is Miniaturized, Fibrosed, And Missing Key Support Cells

7 months ago

PP405 is ineffective for miniaturized, fibrosed hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. AMP303 may activate hair follicle stem cells, but minoxidil and finasteride are still the main treatments.

community Do hair follicles dies or are dormant ?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 92 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair follicles can be dormant and potentially revived with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, but irreversible loss occurs if certain structures are destroyed. Early intervention is more effective, and additional methods like microneedling may help.

community Another mechanism to hair loss that isn’t talked about. Heavy metals and follicle waste.

16 upvotes 2 months ago

Hair follicles can store waste, potentially leading to hair loss, and treatments like DHT blockers and Minoxidil are suggested. Scalp inflammation and sensitivity to DHT also contribute to hair loss, and addressing these factors with a clinician is recommended.

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.

What is an FUE hair transplant? FUE hair transplant extracts individual hair follicles for a minimally invasive, natural-looking result.
What are the different hair transplant techniques? The main hair transplant techniques are FUE, DHI, and FUT, each with unique benefits.
Which hair transplant method is better: FUE or DHI? DHI offers precise graft placement, while FUE is better for larger areas.
