GlossaryInsulin-like Growth Factor 1

hormone promoting cell growth and development, similar to insulin

Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) is a hormone similar in structure to insulin that plays a crucial role in childhood growth and continues to have anabolic effects in adults. It is primarily produced in the liver and is stimulated by growth hormone (GH). IGF-1 is involved in cell growth, development, and repair, and has been studied for its potential effects on hair growth and the treatment of conditions like alopecia.

community Why do we have head hair in first place if we evolved to start losing it in some cases as soon as puberty hits

in Chat 138 upvotes 9 months ago

Hair loss is influenced by genetics and sensitivity to hormones like DHT. Treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used, and baldness persists as it doesn't affect reproductive success.

community New Study Fails to Show Benefits of Microneedling in Males with Balding.

in Treatment 157 upvotes 2 years ago

A new study suggests microneedling alone doesn't benefit male balding, but users argue the study's methods differ from common practices, like combining microneedling with minoxidil and using more frequent treatments. Some believe the study's short duration and infrequent sessions are inadequate to assess microneedling's effectiveness.

community Wtf have we been doing for the last 30 years

in Treatment 548 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride work but have side effects. A permanent cure is still not available due to the complexity of hair loss and limited investment.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 1 year ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

community 57% increased chance of pattern hair loss independently associated with the consumption of sugary beverages in men (p<0.001).

in Research/Science 294 upvotes 2 years ago

Sugary beverages increase the risk of pattern hair loss in men by 57%, and type 2 diabetes is linked to female pattern hair loss. Reducing sugar intake and using treatments like finasteride and minoxidil may help manage hair loss.
