Plant extracts, a natural alternative to existing treatments for hair loss
13 juin 2024
Hair loss, known as alopecia, can affect any part of the body.
In this study, researchers investigated the effects of various plant extracts on alopecia.
The pharmacological effects of plant extracts were associated with the promotion of cell survival, cell proliferation and cell cycle progression. They have also been associated with the increase of several growth factors such as IGF-1, VEGF, HGF and KGF (FGF-7).
The efficacy of these extracts has been confirmed in clinical trials. These clinical trials showed an increase in hair density and hair shaft diameter.
