6 / 6 resultscommunity 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 2-3 Years Hair Regrowth Progress Pictures
The user showed 2-3 years of hair regrowth progress using oral finasteride, topical minoxidil, and microneedling. They plan to switch to oral dutasteride and Liposomal Minoxidil Sulfate for better results.
community I’m crashing out (female pattern hair loss)
A woman experiencing female pattern hair loss has been using topical minoxidil and ketoconazole shampoo but is seeking further treatment options due to plateaued results. Suggestions include spironolactone, finasteride, dutasteride, and other treatments like PRP, while emphasizing the importance of consulting a dermatologist and conducting thorough medical evaluations.
community What are your unpopular opinions on hair loss and its treatments?
Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplants are more accessible and effective now. Concerns about side effects and skepticism about new treatments like hair cloning and GT20029 remain.
community Why isn’t Topical Dutasteride the “Gold Standard”?
Topical dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair loss but lacks FDA approval and research, leading to less use. Users report varying effectiveness and side effects, with some preferring oral treatments.
community Switched to Dutasteride from Finasteride
The user switched from finasteride to dutasteride and noticed less hair shedding, questioning if it's due to dutasteride's effects. Others shared mixed experiences with shedding and side effects after switching, with some seeing improvements and others experiencing continued shedding.

This study found that liposomal formulations improved minoxidil delivery to skin layers compared to niosomes and a control solution, suggesting enhanced potential for topical hair loss treatment.
research "Preparation and Physicochemical Characterization of Topical Niosomal Formulation of Minoxidil and Tretinoin"
The study explored niosome formulations containing minoxidil and tretinoin and found increased drug stability and controlled release, suggesting potential as an effective drug delivery system for treating hair loss.
research The efficacy of tretinoin gel 0.1% followed by topical minoxidil-5% in individuals with androgenetic alopecia
In this case series, researchers observed that combining 0.1% tretinoin gel with 5% minoxidil over 90 days improved hair growth and patient satisfaction in androgenetic alopecia patients who did not previously respond to minoxidil alone, with significant increases in hair count, density, and quality.
research Penetration enhancer-containing vesicles (PEVs) as carriers for cutaneous delivery of minoxidil
This study found that penetration enhancer-containing vesicles significantly improved minoxidil delivery to the skin compared to traditional liposomes and penetration enhancer-containing ethanolic solutions, with deformability linked to enhanced deposition.
