Machine learning can predict symptoms and quality of life in chronic skin disease patients using smartphone app data, and shows that app use varies with patient characteristics.
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.
Hair loss theory suggests imbalance between Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) and Androgen Receptor (AR) activation. Proposed treatment includes upregulating VDR, downregulating AR, and improving mitochondrial health.
Why androgenic alopecia affects the scalp rather than other body parts, potential explanations for this phenomenon, treatments available to combat hair loss, and the implications of male attractiveness in modern society.
Red light therapy is scientifically proven to promote hair growth by increasing strand density and thickness, and it's an additional treatment to DHT blockers like minoxidil and finasteride. Some users are skeptical about the cost and effectiveness of commercial devices, despite studies showing benefits.
Red light therapy with dual wavelengths (650nm and 850nm) can stimulate hair regrowth without DHT blockers. Consistent use of a panel with these wavelengths has shown positive results in hair regrowth.
