Tretinoin can cause non-telogen hair loss in some men by inducing catagen-like changes in hair follicles and through retinoid toxicity, especially when used with minoxidil. Some users report hair loss even when using retinoids on the face, while others experience benefits when combined with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil.
Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.
TGF-B affects hair growth, both causing stem cell division and death depending on amounts. Amplifica's treatment injects Scube3 to increase TGF-B for hair growth.
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.
