Hello every one,
Since I have made some personnal research on the real root Androgenetic Alopecia, and through the reading of different thread on this site such as these one :
https://www.hairlosstalk.com/interact/threads/ivory-dome-scalp-calcification-theory.120439/
https://www.hairlosstalk.com/intera...s-from-tressless.117746/page-346#post-1769538
I'm very inclined to believe in the scalp tension theory. Especially with this old study I've found on pubmed which showed the use of STR (called takeda medex, but unfortunately it isn't still produced) as a treatment for Androgenetic Alopecia : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2365903
It's from 1990, so I don't know if it's still relevant. Well I guess I'll have to try it on my self.
So I've decided to buy one of these STR device. And to try it. And to report my possible progress on this website, so every one can know what can be expected from this kind of device.
Let's talk about me :
18 years old. Fit and healthy, I'm a national class athlete (that's is to say the conventional hairloss treatments based on drug are allowed for me, as it's considered as dopage). Sleeping well, eating well too, fresh organic food from my garden.
My hairs : been loosing it for about 2 or 3 years without even considering it or seeing it, as I was young and healthy, wasn't worried much about it. I eventually finished to realise that I was loosing my hair when everyones began to told me about, and since then, it has became an obsession, really.
I'm currently NW2 I guess, maybe 3, and also extremely diffuse, it's just look dumb when my hair are wet, or not long enough.
My scalp is rock solid for the moment, I really can't pinch it, especialy where my hair lost is the worst.
My regimen will mainly consist in the use of the STR device for about 10 to 15 minutes a day, inflating and deflatting the device successively.
I'll eventually add microneedling to my regime by month 2, since I also believe angiogenesis is the key for regrowing your hair, but without firstly dealing with the scalp tension that reduce/shut off/slow down blood flow, it won't do much.
(For those interested in the device I use PM me, i'll link you the device, as the link isn't working, but since it's very very expensive and it's efficiency isn't well established, I strongly discourage you to buy the device for the moment, without any proof it can do something for hair)
Why do I believe in scalp tension ? For many things, such as the low oxygene environment observed in bald scalp that coincides with the high conversion of testosterone in DHT locally, and even the fact that, since the auricularis and tempolaris doesn't have any antagonist, I believe that over time they will become chronicaly tense. And also become scalp tension explain well the Norwood pattern.
