Abstract

Androgenic alopecia (AGA) typically manifests post-puberty, resulting in decreases in hair density, disruptions in the hair growth cycle, and alterations in hair follicle micro structure. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a key hormone implicated in hair loss, especially on male. In this study, we found that each of arginine (Arg), arterial extract (AE) or biotin tripeptide-1 (BT-1), when combined with low level light therapy (LLLT, at 630&#xa0;nm, 2&#xa0;J/cm<sup>2</sup>), showed the efficacy in enhancing mitochondrial functions, cell proliferation and collagen synthesis in fibroblasts. Additionally, CARRIPOWER (the complexes of AE, BT-1, Arg, and Diaminopyrimidine derivatives), in conjunction with LLLT (630&#xa0;nm, 2 J/cm<sup>2</sup>), showed promising results in dermal papilla cells (DPCs). The promising results contained not also inflammatory cytokines (IL-1&#x3b2; and IL-6) and cell pro apoptotic factor (TGF-&#x3b2;2) reduction, but also Wnt pathway inhibition by decreasing DKK1 level, and pro-hair growth factors (vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and &#x3b2;-catenin) increase. This innovative combination therapy offers a potential solution for the treatment of AGA, addressing both hormonal and cellular factors involved in hair loss.
