community The Association between Sugar-Sweetened Beverages and Male Pattern Hair Loss in Young Men

136 upvotes 1 year ago

Excessive sugar consumption may contribute to male pattern hair loss by increasing androgen sensitivity and insulin resistance, but genetics play a significant role. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are suggested for managing hair loss, while reducing sugar intake and maintaining a healthy lifestyle may help mitigate its progression.

community Why do so many people who get hair transplants not know they need to take finasteride after to keep it?

in Transplants 90 upvotes 1 year ago

Many people are unaware that finasteride is needed after a hair transplant to maintain non-transplanted hair, as transplanted hair is generally DHT resistant. Ignorance and misinformation from clinics contribute to this misunderstanding.

community why are beard gains on min usually permanent?

in Minoxidil 43 upvotes 1 year ago

Beard gains from minoxidil are usually permanent due to facial hair follicles' lower sensitivity to DHT. Scalp hair requires ongoing DHT suppression with treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and RU58841 to maintain gains after stopping minoxidil.

learn Rosemary

What happens if I combine rosemary with other ingredients like mint or caffeine? No study has tested rosemary combined with mint or caffeine; each has been studied alone only in one small trial, mice or the lab. Mixing essential oils can also irritate the scalp.

learn Caffeine

Is it safe to combine caffeine with other topical treatments? Two small trials, reported only in a Persian-language paper and a conference abstract, have tested caffeine with minoxidil and favoured the combination. Caffeine with topical finasteride, ketoconazole or plant oils has never been studied, so no source can call those combinations safe.

learn Aminexil

Aminexil: Can I combine it with anti-hair loss shampoos or will it lose effectiveness? No study shows that shampoo reduces or boosts aminexil, and manufacturers say to apply it to a clean scalp. Stop and see a doctor if the combination irritates your scalp.

learn Scalp Micropigmentation

Can I combine scalp micropigmentation with other hair loss treatments? Nearly all providers say scalp micropigmentation can be combined with transplants, PRP and hair loss medicines, and about a quarter tell clients to plan the combination with a practitioner. These are provider claims, and some treatments have to be paused while the pigmented skin heals.

learn Hair Transplant

Can I combine different hair transplant treatments? Clinics often sell add-ons such as PRP with a transplant. Some small studies suggest a benefit, but the evidence is limited, so ask what each add-on costs and what evidence supports it.
