Asteride into your routine
In this conversation, the user Icy-Indication267 was asking when they should start finasteride to treat their hair loss, which had responded well to minoxidil after two months. Other users shared advice on incorporating micro-needling and topical finasteride into their routine for optimal results.
community A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
