research Fillers Impacting Follicles: The Emerging Complication of Filler-Induced Alopecia
Filler injections can cause temporary hair loss, but hyaluronidase can help restore hair within a few months.
research Clinical Effects of Follicle Unit Extraction and Transplantation Combined with Topical Recombinant Bovine Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor and Minoxidil in the Treatment of Secondary Cicatricial Alopecia
Combining FUE with rb-bFGF and minoxidil is more effective and has fewer side effects than FUE alone for treating hair loss.
research Reversible Alopecia with Localized Scalp Necrosis After Accidental Embolization of the Parietal Artery with Hyaluronic Acid
Accidental injection of hyaluronic acid caused temporary hair loss and skin damage, but treatment restored hair and healed the skin.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Lion Mane Part 2: Microneedling with Topicals, beneficial compounds, maybe?
The conversation discusses microneedling techniques and the use of Minoxidil, copper peptides, EGF, FGF, ceramides, and hydration serums to enhance hair growth. It explores optimizing scalp conditions and the potential benefits of various compounds in conjunction with microneedling.
community FCE 28260: A Forgotten 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
community UPDATE: The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!
Hair loss theory involves 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (3AHD) converting DHT to androstenol. Discussion explores potential treatments and encourages more research.
community SCUBE3 is going to save us!!! This is the news we've all been waiting for...
User discusses potential hair loss treatment SCUBE3 and shares mixed opinions on its effectiveness. One user reports positive results after applying SCUBE3 following microneedling.
community The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!
The post and conversation are about the role of the enzyme 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase in hair loss and the potential of compounds like procyanidin B2 and sulforaphane to boost its activity for hair regrowth. Further research is needed to develop effective treatments based on this theory.
