Un essai clinique sur l'utilisation du minoxidil pour l'augmentation de la pilosité faciale chez des personnes transmascs[1]

J'en parlais plus haut, le minoxidil peut être appliqué sur le visage pour booster la pilosité faciale (ça marcherait probablement sur n'importe quelle partie du corps d'ailleurs) ; on le savait plus ou moins déjà mais maintenant on a un essai méthodologiquement assez robuste qui le montre (essai randomisé en double aveugle, n=34, minox 3%, 12 semaines).

Avant cet essai, on avait notamment eu un essai assez similaire chez des hommes cis[2] (essai randomisé en double aveugle, n=23, minox 3%, 16 semaines) et une étude (non-randomisée mais avec contrôle, n=16, minox 2%, 6 mois) chez des personnes transmasc[3] (et quelques case reports)

Quelques points intéressants de l'essai récent : le minoxidil a augmenté la densité des poils mais aussi leur diamètre (donc poils plus larges), donnant globalement une pilosité faciale plus fournie selon diverses mesures. Il a donné un effet significativement différent du placebo à partir de 2 mois d'utilisation (donc c'est efficace relativement rapidement).
Il a été très bien toléré, avec peu d'effets secondaires (et autant dans les deux groupes), pas d'effets systémiques et pas d'augmentation de la tension. Bref c'est cool.

Pour info, en France, le minoxidil topique est disponible en pharmacie/sur internet sans ordonnance. On a pas de 3% mais le 5% est approprié à la place, c'est pas très cher (qqs €/mois). C'est aussi efficace (mais peut-être pas autant) pour les personnes pas sous T, si jamais !

Sur un tout autre sujet, je suis tombé sur cette revue narrative sur l'alopécie androgénétique chez les personnes trans[1], qui est pas mal.

Les infos dedans sont tout à fait classiques, mais elle a l'avantage de présenter des recommandations claires et plutôt bonnes.
Point intéressant, elle met pas mal en avant l'utilisation du minoxidil *oral, quelque chose qu'on utilise très peu en France (à ma connaissance) mais qui je pense gagnerait à être développé.
Rapidement, le minoxidil c'est un médicament anti-hypertenseur, non-hormonal, qui a aussi une action sur la perte de cheveux ; on l'utilise souvent en spray/mousse localement dans l'AGA, et parfois aussi sur le visage pour stimuler la pilosité faciale. Ça peut aussi se prendre par voie orale, à faible dose, pour le traitement de l'AGA mais aussi pour développer la pilosité faciale et corporelle. Et on a maintenant des données de sécurité rassurantes sur cet emploi donc ça pourrait/devrait peut-être se développer !

Et si des personnes trans passent par là et savent pas par où commencer pour gérer leur perte de cheveux, j'ai écrit un petit article introductif sur le sujet ici : https://hackmd.io/@biyokea/aga_restauration_capillaire

Earlier I got an ad for chewable #minoxidil and #finasteride from a well-known hair loss prevention company that only markets toward men, completely ignoring everyone else that could benefit. I wonder how that would taste, probably not very good unless it's cherry or grape flavored like children's #Tylenol or something. Wonder why they're doing chewable minoxidil too, that's usually for heart stuff.

Wait, I lied. One more post so I can append a bunch of maybe-relevant hashtags to this little thread on the off chance it's of interest to anyone else out there. Ahem:

I don't know how good an idea this is; several of those hashtags, to the extent that they seem to be in use, appear to be most heavily associated with folks selling stuff. Hm.
