Finasteride is used to treat male pattern hair loss. [25] Treatment provides about 30% improvement in hair loss after six months of treatment, and effectiveness only persists as long as the drug is taken. [20] There is no good evidence for its use in women. [14] It may cause gynecomastia, erectile dysfunction and depression. [26]
Hair destruction requires about 10 minutes. Depilation is followed by careful rinsing with water, and various conditioners are applied to restore the skin's pH to normal. Depilation does not destroy the dermal papilla, and the hair grows back. [2] Chemical depilatories are available in gel, cream, lotion, aerosol, roll-on, and powder forms.
Steroids may be used for the short-term treatment of autoimmune causes of hair loss such as alopecia areata. Topical or oral preparations may be used for a few weeks to reduce inflammation. Long term use of topical steroids has not shown benefits for growth and the use of long term oral steroids has many risks that typically outweigh the ...
Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask. Similar to Olaplex, “K18 has a patent to prove it works in hair bonding,” says King. “This hair mask uses a signature K18PEPTIDE (or type of amino acid ...
The CsFr molecule is predicted to have francium at the negative end of the dipole, unlike all known heterodiatomic alkali metal molecules. Francium superoxide (FrO 2) is expected to have a more covalent character than its lighter congeners; this is attributed to the 6p electrons in francium being more involved in the francium–oxygen bonding.

In mainstream scientific usage, hair analysis is the chemical analysis of a hair sample. The use of hair analysis in alternative medicine as a method of investigation to assist alternative diagnosis is controversial [1] [2] and its use in this manner has been opposed repeatedly by the AMA because of its unproven status and its potential for healthcare fraud.
Francium-223 is the most stable isotope, with a half-life of 21.8 minutes, [8] and it is highly unlikely that an isotope of francium with a longer half-life will ever be discovered or synthesized. [22] Francium-223 is a fifth product of the uranium-235 decay series as a daughter isotope of actinium-227; thorium-227 is the more common daughter. [23]
Vermont, a state with a long waiting list for medically based drug treatment, suspended a doctor’s license over incomplete paperwork. As doctors face scrutiny from the DEA, states have imposed even greater regulations severely limiting access to the medications, according to a 2014 report commissioned by the federal agency SAMHSA.
