GlossaryAngiogenic

process of forming new blood vessels from existing ones

Angiogenic refers to the process by which new blood vessels form from pre-existing ones. This is crucial for wound healing and the growth of tissues, including hair follicles. In the context of hair and alopecia, promoting angiogenesis can improve blood supply to the scalp, potentially aiding in hair growth and the treatment of hair loss conditions.

A user experienced androgenic alopecia starting at the vertex without frontal hairline recession and is seeking information on this pattern. Another user noted that vertex or diffuse hair loss is common among men.

Physio-metabolic method of treating androgenic alopecia. Cold receptors. The relationship between DHT, cold receptors, minoxidil and antiandrogens

community Physio-metabolic method of treating androgenic alopecia. Cold receptors. The relationship between DHT, cold receptors, minoxidil and antiandrogens

in Research 413 upvotes 1 year ago

Treating androgenic alopecia with minoxidil, finasteride, and antiandrogens, alongside exercise, cryotherapy, and natural substances to stimulate cold receptors for better hair growth. The method focuses on enhancing treatment effectiveness by considering environmental and behavioral factors and the role of cold receptors and muscle stress.

community Strategies for Treatment Resistant Androgenic Alopecia

in Treatment 5 upvotes 3 months ago

The conversation is about a person experiencing treatment-resistant androgenic alopecia despite using high doses of dutasteride and minoxidil, along with other treatments like microneedling and purilutamide. Suggestions include considering a hair transplant, checking medication authenticity, and exploring other treatments like RU58841 or topical estradiol.

community After the blood test I saw I had a severe Vitamin D deficiency.I had androgenic alopecia so I started with minoxidil and finesteride topically along with vitamin D and biotin.

in Progress Pictures 1 upvotes 6 months ago

The user treated androgenic alopecia with topical minoxidil, finasteride, vitamin D, and biotin, while also using ketoconazole shampoo for dandruff. They focus on weight training and take daily vitamin D tablets.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

in Research/Science 20 upvotes 8 months ago

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.
