    TLDR QR 678 and QR678 Neo treatments are effective for hair loss in women with PCOS.
    The study assessed the effectiveness of QR 678 and QR678 Neo hair growth factor formulations on 20 female patients aged 25-50 with PCOS suffering from female pattern alopecia. The treatment involved 1.5 ml injections into the scalp across eight sessions at three-week intervals. Results indicated significant improvements in hair growth, with a reduction in vellus hairs and an increase in terminal hairs, as well as hair shaft diameter. Patients reported high satisfaction with minimal side effects. Despite the small sample size, the study concluded that these formulations are effective and well-tolerated treatments for hair loss in PCOS patients. Further research with larger cohorts is recommended. The study's authors have patents for the formulation and contributed to various aspects of the research without financial conflicts of interest.

      community Derm stopped me from using Minoxidal

      in Update  50 upvotes 5 days ago
      A dermatologist advised stopping minoxidil due to heavy shedding, suggesting alternative treatments like Betaval Lotion and supplements, but many users disagreed, recommending continuing minoxidil and adding finasteride for better results. The conversation highlights skepticism about the dermatologist's motives and emphasizes the importance of understanding the type of hair loss before choosing treatments.

      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 Is this finasteride legitimate

      A user is concerned about the legitimacy of their finasteride from Simple Online Pharmacy. Another user notes similarities and differences with their own order from Dr. Fox but is unsure about the authenticity.
