5 / 126 resultscommunity Proposed new pathogenesis model for androgenetic alopecia (AGA)
The conversation discusses a new model for understanding androgenetic alopecia (AGA), linking it to dietary and lifestyle factors similar to PCOS, and highlighting the role of DHT, vascular damage, and inflammation. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community Gut microbiome imbalances linked to scalp inflammation and hair follicle impact
Gut microbiome imbalances can cause scalp inflammation and affect hair follicles, potentially leading to hair loss. Treatments include finasteride, peptides like BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, and lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise.
community Scalp tension and thickness of the galea aponeurotica, inflammation and potential treatment pathways
Scalp tension potentially affecting hair loss, and potential treatments for male pattern baldness such as Minoxidil, Finasteride and RU58841. Evidence from a study was discussed which suggests that the cause of MPB lies within the follicle itself and is not dependent on its surrounding environment.
community Reducing Fibrosis in Hair Loss: Topical Pirfenidone
Topical pirfenidone is highlighted as an effective anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic treatment for hair loss, particularly in addressing perifollicular fibrosis, which may enhance the effectiveness of standard treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. The user also uses calcipotriol, MCT oil, ciclopirox shampoo, and benzoyl peroxide shampoo as part of their regimen.
community Got a microscope camera. Here’s the difference between healthy and miniaturized hair
A user who shared progress pictures of their scalp using a microscope camera, demonstrating the difference between healthy and miniaturized hair. Various explanations for the cause of this were discussed, such as DHT build-up in scalp sebum causing an autoimmune response leading to inflammation and eventual hair loss, with some suggesting a do-it-yourself treatment involving adding ascorbic acid powder to shampoo.
