community New Hair Loss Treatment: Adipose Derived Secretomes

in Research/Science 17 upvotes 1 year ago

Adipose-derived stem cell secretome showed significant improvement in hair density and growth, especially when combined with minoxidil, suggesting a synergistic effect. The study had limitations, including a small sample size and potential bias.

community Female AGA - Low Cortisol/Low DHEA

in Female 6 upvotes 3 years ago

Female (37) experiencing hair loss for 5 years, tried max dose of spiro and oral + topical minox without success. Discovered low cortisol and low DHEA levels, seeking functional medicine practitioner for help.

community Pictures that demonstrate Minoxidil aging?

in Minoxidil 7 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation is about the potential aging effects of oral minoxidil on the skin. Users discuss their experiences, with some attributing skin changes to aging rather than minoxidil, and mention using tretinoin to improve skin appearance.

community A stress hormone has been found to signal through skin cells to repress the activation of hair-follicle stem cells in mice

in Research/Science 32 upvotes 5 years ago

Stress can lead to hair loss by affecting hair-follicle stem cells, and this loss is harder to recover from if one has male pattern baldness (MPB). Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to address hair loss, but stress-related hair loss differs from androgenic alopecia.

community Hair started thinning and found out i have high cortisol and thyroid issues

in Treatment 11 upvotes 2 years ago

User experienced hair thinning due to high cortisol and thyroid issues, along with insulin resistance. They are taking magnesium, zinc, vitamin D, calcium, and selenium as supplements.

community Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year

in Research/Science 739 upvotes 3 years ago

A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.
