5 / 16 resultscommunity My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
community Got a microscope camera. Here’s the difference between healthy and miniaturized hair
A user who shared progress pictures of their scalp using a microscope camera, demonstrating the difference between healthy and miniaturized hair. Various explanations for the cause of this were discussed, such as DHT build-up in scalp sebum causing an autoimmune response leading to inflammation and eventual hair loss, with some suggesting a do-it-yourself treatment involving adding ascorbic acid powder to shampoo.
community How long does it take after an environmental / lifestyle change for hair loss to actually slow down?
Lifestyle changes may not significantly impact hair loss, as factors like DHT and genetics play a larger role. Some users suggest treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and microneedling for hair growth.
community I cannot sleep anymore, what should I do
Finasteride may cause sleep disturbances, with some users experiencing insomnia. Reducing the dosage, switching brands, or trying Dutasteride might help.
community Everyone is ignoring that plasma finasteride levels are 100x lower with topical compared to oral.
Topical finasteride results in plasma levels 100 times lower than oral finasteride, potentially reducing systemic side effects. Users report similar efficacy with fewer side effects, suggesting a preference for topical application.
