community My personal experience/observations fighting AGA seriously for 5 years
Minoxidil with alcohol and propylene glycol was more effective than non-alcohol versions, and RU58841 worked best in a non-water-based solution. Oral finasteride showed better results than topical, despite side effects; microneedling and tretinoin worsened hair loss, and PRP was only helpful when younger.
community A little more than a month using red light therapy. I'm surprised by the progress.
Red light therapy has shown promising results in hair regrowth for the user, who avoids minoxidil and finasteride due to side effects. The user follows a healthy lifestyle with diet, exercise, and sauna use, and will continue monitoring the therapy's effectiveness.
