In my previous article I discussed the more conventional treatment modalities for androgenetic alopecia, namely the oral and topical versions of finasteride and minoxidil. In this article I’ll go over some of the more novel or experimental ones, such as topical androgen receptor antagonists, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, Wnt signaling modulators and prostaglandins. Androgen receptor […]

Treatment and Prevention of AAS-Induced Hair Loss, Part 1
In my previous article on male-pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia, I narrated how hair growth and this condition roughly work. In this article I’ll highlight some of the treatment modalities that can counteract the development of male-pattern baldness. Given the pivotal role of androgens in development of this condition, it should come as no surprise […]
Anabolic Steroids and Hair Loss (Androgenetic Alopecia)
As men grow older, many of them will develop hair loss in a characteristic pattern. It can start at the frontal scalp, moving upwards on the sides (‘bitemporal’), or at the back/top of the head at an area called the crown (also ‘vertex’). This hair loss progressively continues up to the mid scalp. Hair on […]
Latisse, Rogaine and Retin-A for Hair Loss When Using Anabolic Steroids
Question: I have read about anabolic steroids to gain some weight and avoid HIV wasting. My main concern is my hair. Unfortunately I suffer from significant hair loss, and I’d like to hang on to my hair as long as possible. Is there any information in low dose AAS and hair loss?
Does Hair Loss Increase with Greater Amounts of Steroids?
Q: Will my hair loss increase when I take greater amounts of steroids? And if I only experience minor hair loss using large doses of anabolic steroids like winstrol, masteron and tren (steroids known for hair loss), would small doses of AAS known to cause minimal hair loss cause much if any at all? A: […]
Is Deca Durabolin Less Likely Than Testosterone to Cause Hair Loss?
Dear Bill, Is it true though that a drug such as Deca Durabolin (nandrolone decanoate) is less likely to cause hair loss than testosterone? A: Yes. This may be because nandrolone is converted to DHN rather than DHT. Dihydronandrolone is almost the same molecule as DHT, but without the 19-methyl group. While DHT binds to the […]
