research Is androgenic alopecia a result of endocrine effects on the vasculature?
This paper proposes a new hypothesis that androgenic hair loss may be caused by changes in scalp vasculature due to androgen effects, but reports no new experimental results.
research The causes of age-related alopecia from the point of view of modern morphology
This review highlights morphological factors contributing to age-related alopecia and suggests further research to understand and potentially mitigate cellular aging processes affecting hair quality.
research Rosacea: I. Etiology, pathogenesis, and subtype classification
This article reviews the current literature on rosacea, focusing on the new subtype classification system and the main theories of its pathogenesis, but reports no new clinical results.
research Keloids After Herpes Zoster: Report of Wolf’s Isotopic Phenomenon and Literature Review
This case report details an instance of Wolf's isotopic response, where a 76-year-old patient developed keloids at the site of a previous herpes zoster infection, highlighting the unclear pathogenesis and theoretical explanations for such occurrences.

5 / 84 resultscommunity My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
community A Theory on Why Microneedling Works
Microneedling may enhance hair regrowth by transferring stem cells to dormant follicles, improving the effects of minoxidil. Users discuss using microneedling with needle lengths around 1.5mm to stimulate hair growth.
community Occipitalis Muscle Tension Theory
Scalp tension from the occipitalis muscle is theorized to contribute to hair loss, but most believe DHT and genetics are the main causes. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are considered more effective than addressing scalp tension.
community Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to work in the scalp. Not weeks. Be careful.
Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to affect scalp DHT levels, not just a week. The prostate absorbs Dutasteride faster than the scalp due to different vascular networks and enzyme densities.
community (Topical) Quercetin might be a good add on to the hair loss stack
Quercetin might help with hair loss by inhibiting HSP-70, which increases androgen receptors. Concerns include its staining properties and unclear topical absorption.

4 / 801 results- What is Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), and how does it support hair growth in alopecia? VEGF promotes hair growth by enhancing blood supply to hair follicles.
- Can products that stimulate Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) improve blood flow to hair follicles? Yes, products that stimulate VEGF may improve blood flow to hair follicles.
- Is Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) available as a topical treatment, or is it only stimulated indirectly? VEGF is not available as a topical treatment for hair loss.
