      community 5 month update, minoxidil and finasteride

      in Progress Pictures  724 upvotes 9 months ago
      The user is happy with hair regrowth after 5 months using topical minoxidil twice daily, oral finasteride once daily, derma stamping weekly, and Watermans shampoo. They noticed darker hair and stopped using creatine, suspecting it worsened hair loss.

      Creatine may counteract minoxidil's hair growth effects by closing potassium ATP channels, potentially leading to hair loss in predisposed individuals. Despite anecdotal reports, there is no conclusive evidence linking creatine to hair loss.

      Minoxidil is not an anti-androgen; it is a growth stimulator and does not lower DHT like finasteride or dutasteride. Minoxidil can cause side effects like facial swelling and anxiety due to its vasodilator properties.

      community The mechanism of androgenic alopecia

      DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.
