Androgenetic alopecia may be irreversible due to the detachment of a muscle from hair follicles.
research A Machine Learning Algorithm Applied to Trichoscopy for Androgenic Alopecia Staging and Severity Assessment
This study developed a support vector machine model using trichoscopic patterns to accurately classify androgenic alopecia severity, with an accuracy of 94.3% in training and 90.0% in test datasets.
research Objective outcome measures: Collecting meaningful data on alopecia areata
This review presents standardized methods for assessing and tracking hair loss in alopecia areata but reports no clinical results, with the authors noting time limitations in clinical practice.
research Efficacy of autologous growth factor concentrate versus platelet-rich plasma injection in patients with androgenetic alopecia receiving topical minoxidil: A randomized controlled trial
This study found that growth factor concentrate injections combined with topical minoxidil in androgenetic alopecia patients led to similar hair regrowth outcomes as platelet-rich plasma, with lower reported pain.

5 / 620 resultscommunity DHT is required to convert vellus hair into terminal hair?
Finasteride and Dutasteride block DHT, which is needed for vellus hair to become terminal on the beard but not on the scalp. The user considered using DHT cream but learned it's unnecessary for scalp hair.
community Will PP405 need to be used indefinitely, like minoxidil?
PP405 may not need daily use like minoxidil, but finasteride might still be needed to maintain hair regrowth. PP405 reawakens dormant hair follicles, potentially offering a long-term solution, though not a permanent cure.
community Copper Peptides—Discussion
Copper peptides, specifically GHK-Cu, are discussed as a potential addition to hair loss treatments, possibly working synergistically with Minoxidil to convert vellus hair into terminal hair. The effectiveness and credibility of copper peptides are questioned due to the lack of widespread discussion and potential conflict of interest from the product's creator.
community 1 month on minoxidil - progress pictures
The user has been using finasteride for years and recently started using minoxidil foam, noticing some increased hair density and vellus hairs after one month. They report no scalp issues or side effects and also use a ketoconazole shampoo weekly.
community Sandalore experiment
A user added sandalore to minoxidil for hair loss, observing some vellus hair growth and less scalp inflammation. Others tried sandalore with mixed results, discussing dosage and effectiveness compared to minoxidil and finasteride.
