Research Backed Dutasteride Simulator (Serum/scalp DHT included for all doses)
A Dutasteride Simulator predicts serum dutasteride, serum DHT, and scalp DHT levels using models from research papers. It simulates various dosing schedules to determine steady-state effects and visualizes outcomes, including hair growth-related scalp DHT suppression.

Is this traction alopecia or something else?
General The patch behind the ear is likely traction alopecia caused by glasses. No specific treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, or RU58841 were mentioned. -
I took Min as a precautionary measure and to try to increase hair growth, now I’m suffering from a severely altered hair cycle
General Minoxidil use led to a disrupted hair cycle and hair damage. The user seeks ways to restore normal hair growth. -
Just over one year on fin & min
Progress Pictures The user has been using 1mg finasteride and 5% topical minoxidil daily for over a year, now reduced to every second day with oral minoxidil, 0.5mm microneedling twice a week, and 2% Nizoral shampoo once a week. The conversation includes a question about the user's age. -
Maybe it’s working for me too? When will it get better? Still not much density there
Is this regrowth? The user is experiencing improvement in hair density using a topical lotion containing minoxidil, finasteride, ketoconazole, and other ingredients. They are hopeful for further progress in the coming months. -
Is full regrowth possible => NW0 ?
Finasteride/Dutasteride The conversation discusses hair regrowth possibilities using finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, and dutasteride, with the user experiencing improvement from NW4 to NW2. Achieving NW0 is deemed unrealistic, but further regrowth may be possible with patience and potentially a hair transplant. -
microneedling and sun exposure
Microneedling Avoid sun exposure for 7-14 days after microneedling the scalp, using a hat for protection. Sunscreen on the scalp can be messy and irritating.

Fermented Yeast Complex Extract Promotes Hair Regrowth by Decreasing Oxidative Stress
The study investigates the effects of Fermented Yeast Complex Extract (FYCE) on hair regrowth, focusing on its ability to modulate oxidative stress and inflammation in dermal papilla cells (DPCs) treated with hydrogen peroxide. FYCE significantly increased NRF2 expression, a key antioxidant defense factor, and suppressed NF-κB activity, a mediator of inflammation. It also reduced NLRP3 inflammasome activation and increased levels of IGF-1, Wnt10b, Wnt3a, and stabilized β-catenin, which are important for hair growth. In animal models, FYCE increased hair follicle numbers and prolonged the anagen phase. These results suggest FYCE as a potential treatment for hair loss by promoting hair regrowth through antioxidative and anti-inflammatory pathways.
