    A study from 2012 highlighted that while traditional hair loss treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride were effective, they carried potential side effects. In contrast, newer treatments using natural compounds and phytochemicals showed promising safety profiles but lacked substantial peer-reviewed support.

      Key treatments for hair preservation include minoxidil, finasteride/dutasteride, and microneedling, with additional options like specific shampoos, oils, biotin, zinc, tretinoin, clascoterone, and low-level laser therapy. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reducing stress, and addressing nutrient deficiencies can also support hair health.

Other users suggest buying hair loss treatments like minoxidil and finasteride from various online pharmacies and considering a gender-affirming care physician for more understanding treatment options.
