      community Minxodil collegen synthesis decrease?

      Minoxidil may age skin by slowing collagen synthesis, but using collagen peptides and a basic skincare routine might counteract this. Foam minoxidil could reduce systemic absorption and avoid alcohol-related side effects.

      in Treatment  43 upvotes 2 weeks ago
      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.

      in Progress Pictures  520 upvotes 2 years ago
      This user, "ediblediety", has been taking oral minoxidil (1.25 mg daily), keto shampoo and occasional derm-rolling for 4 months to treat their hair loss, and they have experienced a shedding phase after the first few weeks of use. They report improvements in the thickness of their facial and body hair, but note that this may be daunting to women.
