A new plant extract from Avicennia marina could potentially be used to treat common hair loss.
research Male androgenetic alopecia
Male pattern baldness involves hormone-related hair thinning, shorter hair, and inflammation.
research Production rates of testosterone and of dihydrotestosterone in female pattern hair loss
Women with female-pattern baldness produce more testosterone, but 5a-reductase inhibition treatment won't help.
research Effects of the anti-androgen finasteride on 5alpha-reductase activity in human gingival fibroblasts in response to minocycline
Finasteride helps treat hair loss by blocking enzyme activity.
research <p>Frontal fibrosing alopecia: efficacy of treatment modalities</p>
Some treatments can stabilize Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, but more research is needed to find effective treatments, and hair transplants often fail.
