community Control your blood pressure - for me this was my root issue

9 upvotes 1 year ago

Managing blood pressure can help with hair loss, as seen with the use of medications like Cialis and oral minoxidil, which improved hairline and blood pressure. Lifestyle changes, such as reducing stimulant use and adjusting testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) doses, also play a role in addressing hair loss and overall health.

community Switching to Oral from Topical min effective or not

in Minoxidil 6 upvotes 1 year ago

Switching from topical to oral minoxidil may lead to better results for some users, with oral minoxidil generally being more effective due to higher absorption. However, it can also cause side effects like hypertrichosis and blood pressure issues, and individual responses may vary.

community Took a medication called pilocarpine, and cannot oral minoxidil anymore which I’ve taken for several years with no issue

in Treatment 4 upvotes 2 weeks ago

OP experienced heart issues after taking pilocarpine, which they believe interacted negatively with oral minoxidil, leading to hair loss. They stopped pilocarpine but can no longer use oral minoxidil.

community Are there actual risks with oral minoxidil? How can they be mitigated

in Minoxidil 20 upvotes 5 months ago

Oral minoxidil can cause side effects like heart issues, increased body hair, and facial puffiness, but these are often dose-dependent and temporary. Users report varying experiences, with some combining it with finasteride or RU58841 for better results, while others experience minimal or no side effects.

signaling protein that, when suppressed, may grow hair by reducing inflammation and stem cell loss

learn Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

How does Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) differ from DHT-blocking treatments for androgenic alopecia? VEGF promotes blood vessel growth, while DHT-blocking treatments reduce hormone effects on hair follicles.

learn capsicum

How does capsicum improve scalp circulation and boost growth? Capsaicin dilates blood vessels through TRPV1 activation, so capsicum is expected to raise scalp blood flow, but every human hair-loss study used it inside a multi-ingredient formula — and the strongest one gave it orally, not on the scalp — so its effect on hair by itself is unproven, and it is a known skin irritant.

learn Platelet-Rich Plasma

What is Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Beta Polypeptide, and how does it help stimulate new hair growth? PDGF-BB is a growth factor that signals to dermal papilla cells and promotes blood-vessel formation; mouse studies report it can push follicles into the growth phase, and human evidence comes only indirectly from PRP trials. No PDGF product is approved for hair restoration and there is no published human trial of PDGF-BB on its own.
