November 2025 in “SKIN The Journal of Cutaneous Medicine” In this study, nearly one-third of patients with severe alopecia areata treated with ritlecitinib achieved complete scalp hair regrowth at least once over three years, and most maintained regrowth or stayed at low hair loss levels subsequently.
April 2025 in “The Journal of Urology” In this study, men using finasteride-1 mg long-term for androgenic alopecia were more likely to receive PDE5i prescriptions sooner than non-users, while also having reduced rates of elevated PSA and prostate cancer diagnoses.
January 2025 in “SKIN The Journal of Cutaneous Medicine” This study of baricitinib in adults with severe alopecia areata found that after initial success, 10.9% of participants lost treatment response by Week 152. Factors like longer disease duration and severe baseline symptoms were more common in those losing response.
January 2025 in “Annals of Dermatology” In this study, 0.2 mg dutasteride significantly improved hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia compared to placebo over 24 weeks, showing similar efficacy to the higher 0.5 mg dose with a favorable safety profile.
February 2024 in “The Journal of Dermatology” In this study, dutasteride 0.5 mg was found to provide long-term efficacy and safety in treating androgenetic alopecia in Korean men, with 89.9% showing improvement and 93.9% experiencing prevention of disease progression over at least 5 years.
April 2007 in “Nature Clinical Practice Urology” Finasteride lowers PSA levels about the same whether taken at 1 mg or 5 mg daily.

Photography is a simple and effective way to track hair loss treatment progress with finasteride.
August 2022 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” This study observed a slight reduction in blood pressure in normotensive patients after taking a 5-mg dose of oral minoxidil, particularly within the first two hours and more so in those with high baseline blood pressure.
November 2020 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” This study found that a daily dose of 1 mg finasteride is effective for treating male pattern baldness, but benefits typically require at least three months to manifest and ongoing treatment is necessary to maintain results.
In this study, finasteride 1 mg demonstrated sustained efficacy over 10 years for men with androgenetic alopecia, especially in those over 30 or with higher AGA grades, with minimal side effects reported.

December 2024 in “Archives of Clinical & Experimental Dermatology” This controlled study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia treated with a combination of subcutaneous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells and oral minoxidil showed significantly better hair growth outcomes than those treated with oral minoxidil alone, with improvements ranging from 25-40% versus 5-10% over six months.
