Decoding Androgenetic Alopecia: Lessons from 80 years of Research and Serendipity


Decoding Androgenic Alopecia

Over the past 80 years, significant advancements have been made in understanding and treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Join us for an enlightening talk that dives deep into the complexities of AGA. David Barreto of Systems Trichology London will give a comprehensive review of the traditional treatments and current understandings of AGA.

He explores groundbreaking new research, focusing on the biochemistry of hair follicle glucose metabolism and the roles of oxidative stress and TGF-beta signaling. He discusses the dihydrotestosterone paradox, the impact of environmental factors, and emerging therapeutic strategies to leverage these findings for comprehensive AGA management. This talk will compare these scientific insights with clinical and observational data, providing a well-rounded perspective on AGA.

Whether you're a seasoned hair loss professional or new to the field of Trichology, this talk will offer valuable insights and practical knowledge to enhance your understanding and approach to managing Androgenetic Alopecia. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from decades of research and serendipitous discoveries that continue to shape the future of AGA treatment.
