    GlossarySemaglutide

    Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist primarily used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Recent studies have suggested that semaglutide may have potential implications in hair biology, particularly in promoting hair growth and reducing hair loss, possibly due to its effects on metabolic health and inflammation. Its relevance to hair loss lies in its ability to influence factors that can contribute to hair follicle health, making it a subject of interest in the exploration of new treatments for conditions like androgenetic alopecia. Key distinguishing characteristics include its mechanism of action in regulating appetite and glucose metabolism, which may indirectly support hair follicle function.

      community Transplant Candidate? (26, Male)

      in Transplants  38 upvotes 2 months ago
      A 26-year-old male considering a hair transplant is using topical finasteride and minoxidil, planning to start feminizing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with estrogen and spironolactone. Many suggest waiting to see the effects of HRT, which may significantly regrow hair, before deciding on a transplant, and recommend adding microneedling and possibly switching to oral treatments for better results.
