    TLDR Hair loss treatments increased hair density and reduced hair loss in most men, but didn't improve hair thickness for everyone.
    This document is a clinical study on androgenetic alopecia in men. The study observed 24 male subjects with androgenetic alopecia over the course of one year. The subjects received 20 treatments once a week. The results showed that the subjects' hair density increased after the treatments, but two subjects did not show improvement in hair diameter. The number of telogen hair bulbs, which are associated with hair loss, significantly decreased after the treatments, indicating an increase in anagen hair bulbs, which are associated with hair growth. The study also found that the age group of people seeking treatment for hair loss has shifted to the 30s to 40s age range.

      Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

      . ummwhatsure: No it doesn't. I started losing my hair around 27/28. This user has had great success with a combination of finasteride and Minoxidil, taking 1 milligram of finasteride per day and applying Minoxidil twice daily for 4 years, starting when they were 31. They experienced some shedding in the first two years, but now have thicker, fuller hair than before.

      The user experienced improved hair density and thickness after using finasteride and dermarolling for 2.5 years but noticed hair loss when doing anaerobic exercise. They increased their finasteride dose and continued dermarolling but are considering not starting minoxidil due to its perceived hassle and uncertain long-term benefits.

      A user successfully improved their hairline after 15 months using topical minoxidil and dutasteride. Some commenters question the necessity of treatment given the user's original hair condition, while others support early intervention.

      User is experiencing severe hair loss despite using finasteride for 15 months, losing 500 hairs a day and 50% density since June. Minoxidil with needling was ineffective, and RU58841 is too expensive and hard to obtain.
