5 / 1000+ results research Male-pattern hair loss: Comprehensive identification of the associated genes as a basis for understanding pathophysiology
This review discusses the current status of genetic research on male-pattern hair loss and reports no new findings, outlining significant achievements and future challenges in understanding its biology and treatment.
research Dutasteride improves male pattern hair loss in a randomized study in identical twins
This study in identical twin males with androgenetic alopecia found that dutasteride significantly improved hair growth compared to placebo over one year.
research Fractional non-ablative laser-assisted drug delivery leads to improvement in male and female pattern hair loss
This study observed hair regrowth and increased density in four cases of androgenetic alopecia treated with a non-ablative erbium glass fractional laser and topical finasteride, with no significant side effects reported.
research Viable terminal scalp hair follicles constitute a necessary and sufficient biological end‐organ that conditions clinical efficacy of finasteride in males with male pattern hair loss without implying reversal of miniaturized follicles
In this study, finasteride treatment for two years did not significantly reverse miniaturized hair follicles in men with male pattern hair loss, challenging the "reversal hypothesis" as 79 out of 113 miniaturized hairs remained unchanged.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity AGA/male pattern baldness and loss of hair in the past 6months
A 25-year-old male experienced significant hair loss due to telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia. He began using finasteride, minoxidil, and vitamins, seeing some regrowth but remains worried about hair density.
community Study on Sugar Intake on Male Pattern Hair Loss
Excessive sugar and high-fat diets are linked to male pattern hair loss, with sweet beverages being a significant factor. Moderation in diet is advised, as diet alone may not fully prevent hair loss due to other factors like DHT sensitivity.
community Is DHT actually the cause of male pattern hair loss or just a correlating factor? Why I think the research is more complicated than we're told and why I've been looking into GHK-Cu
DHT is not the only cause of male pattern hair loss; genetic sensitivity, inflammation, and fibrosis also contribute. GHK-Cu, a copper peptide, is being explored as an alternative treatment to finasteride and minoxidil, showing potential in improving follicle health.
community Does creatine really speed up hair loss if you have male pattern baldness?
Creatine is not proven to cause hair loss, but some report increased shedding, especially with male pattern baldness. Finasteride or minoxidil are suggested to counteract potential hair loss while using creatine.
community The Association between Sugar-Sweetened Beverages and Male Pattern Hair Loss in Young Men
Excessive sugar consumption may contribute to male pattern hair loss by increasing androgen sensitivity and insulin resistance, but genetics play a significant role. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are suggested for managing hair loss, while reducing sugar intake and maintaining a healthy lifestyle may help mitigate its progression.
