6 / 1000+ resultscommunity A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
community Proposed new pathogenesis model for androgenetic alopecia (AGA)
The conversation discusses a new model for understanding androgenetic alopecia (AGA), linking it to dietary and lifestyle factors similar to PCOS, and highlighting the role of DHT, vascular damage, and inflammation. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community I am a dermatologist with a clinical interest in alopecia. AMA
In this conversation, 4990 discussed various treatments for hair loss, including oral minoxidil, PRP, transplan, Jak inhibitors, Dutasteride, Finasteride, Olumiant, Ketoconazole, RU58841, microneedling, baricitinib, and CCCA. They recommended scalp biopsies in unclear cases of DUPA, twice weekly to twice daily shampooing for topical minoxidil users, and two sessions spaced one month apart with follow up at month three to determine the effectiveness of PRP treatment.
community Hair Growth or Loss Tracking Tool
A user is developing a tool to track hair density, aiming to help those using treatments like minoxidil. They seek feedback on the tool's usefulness and are considering a low-cost model to cover expenses.
community Our Follicles, who art in hairven, hallowed be thy name; thy hairdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in hairven. Give us this day our daily regrowth. And forgive us our hat usage, as we forgive those who own hair against us. And lead us not into transplantation; but deliver us from balding
A 21-year-old with accelerated hair loss due to stress and weight loss is using minoxidil, finasteride, and microneedling to combat balding, despite experiencing a significant initial hair shed. They are committed to continuing treatment for at least three months and are considering switching to topical finasteride if necessary.
community Update on hair, will be posting monthly! Nov 8 – Jan 14
A user's progress with treating their hair loss, including using finasteride, minoxidil, retinoic acid, dermapenning twice weekly and ket 2% shampoo two to three times per week. Other users offered advice such as not derma penning too often or shaving the area bald for a couple of months.
