May 2022 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science” The study examined the effects of Leontopodium alpinum (Edelweiss) extract on hair growth. Ex vivo experiments showed the extract inhibited catagen development and promoted hair follicle elongation. In a clinical trial with 60 Caucasian participants (30 per group), those using a serum with 2% Edelweiss extract experienced a significant increase in hair density (+22 hair/cm²) compared to the placebo group. The extract prolonged the anagen phase and increased hair matrix keratinocyte proliferation, suggesting it could be a promising, milder alternative to traditional hair loss treatments.

March 2023 in “Anais Brasileiros De Dermatologia” The document reviews various treatments for female pattern hair loss (FPHL), highlighting the efficacy and safety of different therapeutic options. Topical minoxidil is the most supported treatment but is ineffective for about 40% of patients. Oral minoxidil shows promise but has potential side effects. Antiandrogens like spironolactone and bicalutamide are effective in certain cases, with cyproterone being more effective in hyperandrogenism. Emerging treatments like microneedling, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) show potential but require more research. The review emphasizes the need for personalized treatment plans and further randomized clinical trials to improve FPHL management.
