In this session, we explore causes and targeted treatments for various types of head hair loss. We also discuss causes and treatments for hirsutism, or abnormal hair growth on the face and body. Topical botanicals, herbal formulas and nutritional support form the backbone of the recommended treatments. Standard pharmaceutical treatment of male pattern baldness with finasteride and minoxidil are also evaluated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRelated product: \u003c\/span\u003eThe PowerPoint for this recording is available\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehere:\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/2021-Medicines-from-the-Earth-Herb-Symposium-Book-Download-PDF\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2021 Medicines from the Earth Herb Symposium: Conference Book Download (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Video","offer_id":50603422875864,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602277339352,"sku":"21ME01","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3519\/6376\/files\/Audio-File_67b04b54-8b04-430d-96aa-bd653068face.png?v=1752121431"},{"product_id":"the-biochemistry-of-hair-growth-and-loss-and-botanical-medicine-interventions","title":"25SW19 - The Biochemistry of Hair Growth and Loss and Botanical Medicine Interventions","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpeaker: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/Botanical-Medicine-Speakers\/Proefrock-Kenneth\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKenneth Proefrock, NMD\u003c\/a\u003e This session will provide clinicians with a concise overview of the complex biochemical processes governing hair follicle cycles and the development of androgenetic alopecia. The presentation will focus on the role of androgens, such as testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), in influencing hair growth, specifically how these hormones can shorten the anagen (growth) phase, leading to finer, thinner hair. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the enzymatic pathways involved, including 5ŽÂ±-reductase and cytochrome P-450 aromatase, and how these enzymes contribute to local androgen production within hair follicles and sebaceous glands. The session will highlight the clinically relevant differences in enzyme activity and androgen levels between men and women, and even between different scalp locations within the same individual, which may explain the observed variations in hair loss patterns. This knowledge will provide a foundation for developing more targeted and effective treatment strategies for androgenetic alopecia in both male and female patients.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRelated product: \u003c\/span\u003eThe PowerPoint for this recording is available\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehere: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanical-medicine.org\/2025-Southwest-Conference-on-Botanical-Medicine-Conference-Book-Download-PDF\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e2025 Southwest Conference Book Download (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore information on our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicalmedicine.org\/continuing-education\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.botanicalmedicine.org\/continuing-education\u0026amp;source=gmail\u0026amp;ust=1618066863934000\u0026amp;usg=AFQjCNFeCzbEOTGcsENvqCsya-xpRbBHBg\" style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eContinuing Education Program\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Video","offer_id":50603437687000,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio","offer_id":50602257219800,"sku":"25SW19","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/3519\/6376\/files\/8.png?v=1761793460"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.botanicalmedicine.org\/collections\/hair-loss.oembed","provider":"Botanical Medicine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
