GlossaryEndocrine Therapy-Induced Alopecia

hair loss caused by treatments that alter hormone levels

Endocrine Therapy-Induced Alopecia, also known as Hormone Therapy-Induced Alopecia, refers to hair loss that occurs as a side effect of treatments that alter hormone levels, commonly used in managing cancers like breast or prostate cancer. These therapies, such as tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors, disrupt the normal hormonal balance, leading to thinning hair or baldness.

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.

community COMPLETE OVERVIEW of the Treatment of androgenetic alopecia in men

26 upvotes 11 years ago

Male androgenetic alopecia is commonly treated with topical minoxidil and oral finasteride, both requiring continuous use. Other options include hair restoration surgery, dutasteride, light therapy, and camouflaging agents.

community The Real Cause Of Androgenetic Alopecia

in Research/Science 677 upvotes 1 year ago

Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.

community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment

in Research 865 upvotes 1 year ago

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.

community Finally, some real breakthroughs. A comparison of the two leading baldness treatments: PP405 versus ABS-201

in Technology 107 upvotes 8 months ago

PP405 and ABS-201 are promising treatments for male pattern baldness. PP405 shows rapid hair growth in human trials, while ABS-201 shows significant regrowth in animal studies but is still in early human trials.
