Humans have long been mindful oflose hair or feathersUp. The earliest recipe for hair regrowth, in 1553 B.C. ancient EgyptianEbers Papyrus.It's documented in.

This recipe, which has onions, honey, red lead, iron oxide, gypsum, and the fat of various animals as its main ingredients, must be combined with theRituals of the Sun God PrayerThe party may take it.



Greek medical doctors.Hippocrates (c. 460 BC - c. 370 BC), Greek physician, father of Western medicine, has also put a lot of effort into researching hair loss. He has suggested various treatment options such as external and internal applications and even surgery.

Even so.Our father of modern medicine is still bald.. Because there was one experiment he didn't dare to get down to, and he observed that theThe Persian army'scourt eunuchThere's no baldness., what is the reason for this, we are burying the hatchet here for thousands of years.



In ancient times.Having a thick head of hair is a symbol of power and manliness. For example, Julius Caesar of Rome was particularly distressed that his hairline was moving up by the day. This ...... should not take a laurel wreath to cover it. In this way, the laurel wreath also became a symbol of power.

In the same way, after sixteen hundred years, the King of FranceLouis XIII (name)Also to hide their baldness, wearing exaggeratedwigsIt didn't take long.Wearing a wig to show that you're powerful has become a fashion for the upper classes in England and France.. To this day, we still see lawyers and judges in courtrooms having to wear wigs, also as a tradition to represent authority.

Ancient Chinese medical doctors believed thatHair loss is closely related to the deficiency of the liver and kidneysThe treatment should be based on tonifying the kidney essence and nourishing the liver and blood, and must be taken internally and externally together with ginger rubbing the head in a big way. These ingredients and formulas, the achievement of a variety of traditional Chinese medicine anti-hair loss shampoo on the market today.

Even if the use of all the tonic medicine, Chinese medicine hair does not achieve the effect of plus stunts, improper use may also hurt the liver. Otherwise, Du Fu would not have had to worry about losing his hair to the point where he could not even insert a hairpin.

By the 19th century, when the world was linked together, the market began to flood with hair loss imports. As Westerners explored the East, they also realized that Easterners were less prone to baldness, particularlyIndia。

At this time the western market appeared similar to the Indian oil hair growth agent, in the Victorian era of Britain also popularized the cold Indian oil tea on the scalp, followed by lemon juice rubbed, in order to treat dandruff.

Isn't there a reliable answer to the question of how to effectively treat hair loss, thousands of years up and down the line?



In 1978, people were taught in a program calledMinoxidil(Minoxidil) in high blood pressure medication was incidentally found to have anti-shedding side effects.

Minoxidil lotion was approved by the FDA in 1988 as the first drug to treat hair loss, and it can still cause adverse reactions such as itching, flaking, and aggravation of body hair if not used properly. Until today, the Chinese Drug Administration still clearly stipulates that this ingredient cannot be used in cosmetics.



In the 90's, an ingredient was discovered for treating enlarged prostate that worked better than minoxidil - thefinasteride. It allows men with early hair loss to keep their hair in shape and even grow it back.

What the hell kind of sense does that make? Actually, the maleAndrogen DHTattributable5-a reductase和睾酮Synthesized, and pitched, is the reductase enzyme of 5-a born at the root of people's hair follicles, which when it reacts with testosterone to synthesize the androgen DHT, afflicts the hair follicles to produce atrophy, leading to baldness.

Finasteride, on the other hand, is an ingredient that inhibits the 5-a reductase enzyme from reacting to treat hair loss at the root.

According to this theory, as long as straight men pass around puberty through the阉割By means of lowering the levels of testosterone and DHT in the blood, genetic hair loss can be prevented at all.



Humans have been chasing this for thousands of years, and have finally realized that the easiest and crudest way to get a head of hair that shows power and masculinity is to cut it off. In a reversal like this, theIt's as if a trap has been set for man's own genetic code.。



With the French Revolution of 1789, aristocratic and religious privileges were shocked and people began to take off their exaggerated wigs. Perhaps one day.The social labeling of hair size is also dissolving, and people are accepting the fact that time is rushing by on their head, this self-imposed trap no longer exists.

"Hair loss has become the wish of many people. Hair loss in the past is more than 40 years old people will face the problem, today, the phenomenon of hair loss is showing a younger trend development, many after 80 and even after 90 students have appeared in the phenomenon of hair loss.

How to differentiate between normal hair loss and severe hair loss?

The total number of hairs is about 100,000, and about 0.1% of the hairs undergo normal renewal every day. In other words.If you don't lose more than 100 hairs a day, then it's normal hair loss, otherwise you have to consider pathological hair loss.

Genetic studies have found that hair loss follows the father in sons and the mother in daughters. On the other hand, the style of hair loss above, female hair loss is not obvious pattern, off each of the characteristics, while the male is from the hairline with the age of the continuous upward, and gradually become a bright top.

Hair loss is a major problem for some people. In the face of increasingly heavy study, work, family, marriage pressure and bad habits, hair loss has become increasingly youthful trend, and even the first batch of nine-zero years after the age of thirty, the amount of hair began to unconsciously reduce, "not old first bald," "smart top! "The first time I saw this, I was so happy to see you.

Androgenetic alopecia, also known as seborrheic alopecia, is the most common clinical type of hair loss. It is characterized by progressive and slow follicular miniaturization. Generally occurring in adolescence and post-pubertal period, male pattern baldness is more common in China. Male pattern baldness is mainly manifested by the frontal hairline moving back or the hair on the top of the head progressively becoming fewer and thinner; female pattern baldness is mainly manifested by the hair on the top of the head progressively decreasing and becoming thinner, and a small portion of it has diffuse thinning of the hair, and the hairline does not move back.

First, the main causes of androgenetic alopecia are:

1. Life

Gender, age, education level, marital status and family history all have an impact on the quality of life of alopecia areata patients. Long-term work and study tension, mental stress, psychological imbalance, dietary disorders, insomnia, irregular life, etc. are important factors that aggravate or induce this disease.

2. Heredity

Androgenetic alopecia may be a complex polygenic genetic disease, China's male patients have a family history of the majority and the paternal line is significantly higher than the maternal line, and studies have shown that the more genes associated with the disease, the younger the age of onset of the patient.

3. Androgens

Among the androgens, testosterone and dihydrotestosterone are the most active, with dihydrotestosterone being the main contributor to androgenetic alopecia. Studies have shown that the levels of 5α-reductase and dihydrotestosterone in the scalp are higher in alopecia areata than in non-alopecia areata or the same area in non-alopecia areata patients, and that the ability to convert testosterone to dihydrotestosterone is significantly increased in alopecia areata. This in turn leads to miniaturization of hair follicles, gradual thinning of hairs, and shortening of the hair growth cycle ultimately leading to hair loss. This indicates that androgenic alopecia is related to the level of dihydrotestosterone.

II. Main therapeutic drugs

1. Finasteride (Bupropion)

Finasteride is a specific inhibitor of type II 5α-reductase, which irreversibly binds to type II 5α-reductase, thereby inhibiting the formation of dihydrotestosterone and causing a significant decrease in serum and tissue concentrations. Hair quantity and quality have been improved in patients using finasteride, and it is well tolerated with few adverse effects. It is commonly used in the treatment of seborrheic alopecia. Its adverse effects usually lead to decreased libido, impotence and ejaculation, most patients take the drug during the course of the symptoms gradually disappear, after stopping the drug for a period of time can be restored to the pre-drug.

2. Minoxidil

Minoxidil is a potassium channel opener, originally used in the treatment of hypertension, and is also used as a topical drug for hair loss due to its vasodilating effect. Its pharmacological effect may be to promote hair growth through various pathways, including: stimulating the differentiation and value-added of hair follicle epithelial cells, promoting angiogenesis, enhancing the local blood supply, and opening potassium ion channels, so that the hair follicle will shift from resting to anagen phase, and so on. Topical minoxidil generally needs to be used for a long period of time to maintain its efficacy, and a high concentration (5%) is more effective than a low concentration, generally 5% for men and 3% for women.

3. Spironolactone

Spironolactone reduces the production of testosterone from adrenaline and mildly inhibits the binding of dihydrotestosterone to the androgen receptor. Care should be taken to check blood potassium levels during spironolactone therapy. Prolonged use of the drug in female patients may produce adverse effects such as menstrual disorders, decreased libido, and breast tenderness.

4. Cyproterone

Cyproterone has a strong anti-androgenic effect and can be used in female patients, especially those with comorbid acne and hirsutism. Note that it is contraindicated in hepatic and renal insufficiency as well as in minors. Adverse effects include decreased libido and weight gain.

5. Traditional Chinese medicine

Western medicine believes that hair loss is the result of a combination of factors, while Chinese medicine believes that hair loss is closely related to kidney, liver and spleen. Androgenetic alopecia is mainly recognized as kidney deficiency and blood stasis, the disease is located in the kidney, and the pathology is kidney yin deficiency, accompanied by blood stasis and blood heat, and the deficiency is mixed with reality. Generally, it is divided into four types: Yin deficiency of liver and kidney, blood deficiency, blood heat, and dampness-heat accumulation, which need to be diagnosed and treated. Common proprietary Chinese medicines are described below:Nourish Blood and Hair Capsules由熟地黄、当归、羌活、木瓜、川芎、白芍、菟丝子、天麻、制何首乌组成，用于血虚风盛，肾精不足所致的脱发；Seven Treasures Beard PillsIt is composed of Prepared Polygonum multiflorum, Angelica sinensis, Bone-setting Resin (roasted in salt water), Fructus Lycii, Semen Cuscutae, Poria, Cow's Knee, and is used in treating deficiency of the liver and kidney, premature whitening of the beard and hair, night sweating, soreness of the waist and lower back, weakening of sinews and bones, weakness of the waist and legs, and scanty and thinning of the lower back and lower abdomen.Tincture of Hair GrowthIt consists of black seedpod seeds, peach kernel, and pomegranate seeds, and is used externally for baldness, spot baldness, seborrheic alopecia, and other unexplained hair loss;speckled leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis)由地黄、熟地黄、制何首乌、当归、丹参、白芍(炒)、五味子、羌活、木瓜组成，滋补肝肾，益精养血，祛风生发，用于肝肾不足所致的脱发；Hair Strengthening PillsComposed of Radix Rehmanniae Praeparata, Fructus Lycii, Radix Qiangwu, Radix Polygoni Multiflori, Rhizoma Ligustici Chuanxiong (steamed in wine), Rhizoma Carica Papaya, Fructus Ligustici Chasteberry (steamed in salt), Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Fructus Mori, Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Codonopsis Pilosulae and Black Sesame Seeds, which strengthens Kidney and nourishes Blood and benefiting Qi to dispel wind, and is used for patchy baldness, total baldness, generalized baldness and alopecia caused by deficiency of Liver and Kidney.

III. Other measures

1、Reduce stress and regulate emotions

2. Improvement of bad living habits

3. Hair transplantation

In summary, androgenetic alopecia is a multifactorial type of hair loss that may be related to the patient's quality of life, physical and mental state, as well as genetic factors, androgen levels and growth factors. Treatment of hair loss is a long-term process, and there are several ways to treat different causes, and a combination of two or more treatments may be more effective.
