Abstract in brief

  • The study explores how injecting botulinum toxin directly into the skin (intradermal) might help treat androgenetic alopecia, a common form of hair loss.
  • It suggests that the toxin could improve blood flow or reduce muscle tension around hair follicles, potentially promoting hair growth.
  • The research discusses potential mechanisms behind this effect, though more studies are needed to confirm the effectiveness and understand exactly how it works.

A small study suggesting #botox injection into the scalp skin can be used to treat #patternbaldness. Some slight improvement in #hairgrowth by 24 weeks. The authors show botox suppresses TGFb1 expression by dermal papilla cells in culture. Intriguing https://t.co/fDEthJxaOV
