Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
community Shampoo + Protein shake causing hair shedding?
The user started using ketoconazole shampoo and whey protein shakes and noticed increased hair shedding, seeking advice on whether these could be the cause. Another user shared their experience with hair loss after starting protein shakes and mentioned using finasteride, which eventually improved their hair condition.
community Vegan Protein Powder Make Loss Worse?
A user is experiencing genetic hair loss and is using spironolactone and minoxidil without success. They are considering switching to vegan protein powder due to digestive issues and are concerned if it will worsen hair loss.
community Whey Protein can cause hairloss in men with AGA as per a doctor
Whey protein may slightly increase hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) due to elevated IGF-1 and testosterone levels, but the effect is minimal compared to treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Many users argue that whey protein's impact on hair loss is negligible and that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is more important.
community Can Whey Protein isolate make your AGA worse?
Whey protein isolate may worsen androgenetic alopecia (AGA) due to its potential to increase DHT levels, but finasteride use has helped maintain hair. Some users suggest avoiding protein supplements due to possible contaminants and additives that could affect hair health.
