GlossarySecondary Hair Follicles

smaller hair-producing structures that develop alongside primary follicles

Secondary hair follicles are smaller hair-producing structures that develop alongside primary hair follicles, typically in mammals with dense fur or wool. They produce finer, shorter hairs that contribute to the overall thickness and insulation properties of the animal's coat. These follicles are crucial for maintaining the density and texture of the fur, especially in species adapted to cold environments.

community The Effect of Intradermal Botox on Androgenetic Alopecia and Its Possible Mechanism (Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (2020)

in Treatment 12 upvotes 4 years ago

Intradermal botulinum toxin (BTX) injections effectively treat androgenetic alopecia (AGA) by inhibiting TGF-β1 secretion from hair follicles. Further research and long-term follow-up are needed to confirm these findings.

community How to Keep Your Hair on Steroids

in Treatment 16 upvotes 2 months ago

To minimize hair loss while using steroids, use finasteride or dutasteride and apply topical anti-androgens like RU58841. Avoid high doses of hair-toxic steroids; prefer testosterone, nandrolone, and boldenone.

community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

in Research 692 upvotes 3 months ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
