Summary
- Explained the cellular biology of hair, focusing on the role of stem cells in hair growth and the phases of hair development: anagen (growth phase), catagen (regression phase), and telogen (resting phase).
- Discussed the impact of hormones and other factors like IGF-1 and DHT on hair growth, and the influence of genetics on hair loss patterns.
- Examined various treatments for hair loss, including over-the-counter solutions, prescriptions, and mechanical methods like microneedling.
- Highlighted the importance of blood flow and nutrients to the hair follicles for sustaining hair growth and the potential side effects of hair loss treatments.
