Did you mean Vertex Hair Loss?

Glossary Vertex Hair Loss

thinning or loss of hair at the crown area

Vertex Hair Loss, also known as Crown Hair Loss or Vertex Baldness, refers to the thinning or loss of hair at the top of the head, specifically around the crown area. This type of hair loss is commonly associated with androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness) and is often one of the first areas where hair thinning becomes noticeable.

community We need actual hair loss studies on Epristeride

in Research/Science 6 upvotes 1 year ago

Epristeride is a selective 5 alpha reductase type 2 inhibitor that may reduce scalp DHT similarly to finasteride, with potentially fewer side effects. It is suggested that combining epristeride with finasteride or dutasteride could enhance hair loss treatment effectiveness.

community The Real Reason For Hair Loss?

8 months ago

Hair loss is linked to scalp fibrosis and tension, which result from chronic mechanical stress and androgenic signaling. Treatments include blocking androgens with finasteride, promoting hair growth with topical minoxidil, and improving scalp mobility through exercises.

learn Bicalutamide

What results can you expect from using bicalutamide on your scalp? There is no published human study of bicalutamide applied to the scalp for hair loss, no licensed topical product and no established dose, so no result can be predicted from it. The evidence that exists is for the oral tablet in women, which is a prescription drug requiring liver monitoring and contraindicated in pregnancy.

learn Bimatoprost

What do the latest studies say about bimatoprost for scalp hair growth? Bimatoprost is approved only for eyelashes; a 30-person pilot found it beat a topical steroid on patches of alopecia areata, but the two registered Allergan trials in male pattern hair loss were never published and never taken further, so scalp use stays off-label and experimental.
