I just stumbled upon this case report. Methotrexate is a chemotherapy agent and immune system suppressant, so it is not a drug to use unless strictly necessary. It is an interesting case report nonetheless and it appears that psoriasis and androgenic alopecia share some of their pathogenesis. It...
Hey guys. I was just watching a yt video of balding guys and I came upon this (what I want to show you starts at around 4:30-if you want a bit of context or 4:47 if you want to hear out the proper finasteride mini story):
So basically this guy says that he went to a renowned NY dermatologist...

Abstract:
"Hair growth starts from hair follicles that reside in dermis, and abnormal hair growth is an early sign of hair follicle disease or systemic illness such as alopecia or hair loss. Therefore, identifying a target critical for...
Hi All,
Im new to the hair loss talk and only recently getting on board after a visit with Dr Farjo and getting more information with him.
Anyways im here to ask if anybody has anymore information on the Dr Takashi Tsuji study that was conducted last year or even this years developments...

In this one they used fractional radiofrequency microneedling which is the same concept/procedure except the micro-wounds are created using heat energy to reach the dermis instead of physical needles.
This study is different in that...
Hello, I'm writing this to ask if anyone feel this article has any merit? I'm at the brink of taking 0.5mg finasteride, and was wondering if i'd have to align my expectations with risk such as this. Thank you...
I have been a part of the online hairloss community for two years, mainly on reddit. I have, with others, been working on a hair loss solution with natural ingredients from Thailand. These are not chemicals and will not affect DHT levels. It's a shampoo that maintains and regrows hair. We are...
Hello everyone, we are 3 students that are conducting a marketing research on male pattern baldness and would love you to participate in our study. It only takes 3 minutes and is strictly confidential.
If you want to know the name of the product you can just ask us :)
Thank you very much
Yes I know, caffeine brought up once again.. What is the general consensus on caffeine? I know it was considered years ago but we missed something.
I came across this recently and it looked promising as an alternative to min. for those that don't respond to it or don't want to use it. (maybe...
The study is probably flawed as there were only 9 participants involved, but still. Individual hair diameter would seem to improve by 7% (I don't know how visible this would be?), but more importantly and I quote:
What does this mean? Is applying mechanical force to our scalp probably worth...
Does anyone have access to this article/study done in 2014? It seems to discuss a lot of things mentioned a lot in this subforum.

Could someone with a more scientific background interpret what this study found out about the use of PAK1 for hair loss? It seems very promising, no? Link to the study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28098826
Does anyone in your social circles, families and friends know about your treatment or, more extensively, about your fight?
No one knows about me. Only a priest, who's a dear friend of mine. I would be really ashamed if anyone found out.
The social stigma about hair loss treatment is probably...
I've always thought Viviscal was the odd one out. You might call it a scam, but I've never seen a supplement praised THIS much. Also the success on the market is off the charts, so maybe there is some truth to it? There have been several studies and yes, most of them lack critical data or...
