Bryan Johnson shared his hair loss treatment, which mainly relies on minoxidil and finasteride. Some users are skeptical of his results, while others appreciate his efforts in anti-aging and hair loss research.
The conversation discusses a person successfully using a combination of Minoxidil, finasteride, and other treatments for hair loss, resulting in significantly improved hair. Despite some criticism, many admire his dedication to health and anti-aging research.
High cholesterol may accelerate hair loss by reducing blood flow and increasing DHT levels. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
A 21-year-old individual questioning the safety and potential side effects of using Dutasteride for hair loss, after Finasteride and RU58841 had limited effect. The responses vary, with some users suggesting it's safe and others advising to check hormone levels before proceeding.
Higher doses of dutasteride, such as 2.5mg, are more effective at reducing scalp DHT than 0.5mg, but are costly and inconvenient. A 1mg dose is considered a more affordable and practical option, though its efficacy is uncertain.
Finasteride and dutasteride can improve skin texture and reduce acne by lowering DHT but do not reverse aging. They may enhance skin and hair health for some, but can also cause side effects like dry skin and sexual dysfunction.
The conversation is about the potential aging effects of oral minoxidil on the skin. Users discuss their experiences, with some attributing skin changes to aging rather than minoxidil, and mention using tretinoin to improve skin appearance.
User started minoxidil, noticed forehead lines and dark circles, and asked for non-invasive skin aging prevention methods. Another user suggested using tretinoin and hyaluronic acid for long-term benefits.
The post and conversation discuss whether Minoxidil causes facial aging, with some users reporting no side effects and attributing negative effects to possible allergic reactions. The original poster suggests more research is needed to confirm any connection between Minoxidil and facial aging.
Minoxidil may cause skin aging effects like wrinkles and dark circles, but evidence is mixed. Alternatives like dermarolling and retinol are suggested.
Minoxidil may cause facial aging or wrinkles, though opinions vary. Some users report side effects like dark circles and facial bloating, while others attribute changes to genetics or other factors.
Topical minoxidil may cause skin aging effects like wrinkles and dark circles, possibly due to its alcohol content, while oral finasteride is reported to make users look younger. Switching to oral minoxidil or using moisturizers might help reduce these skin issues.
A person improved hair loss from Norwood 3 to Norwood 2 using a topical formula with minoxidil, dutasteride, and tretinoin, plus oral minoxidil and red light therapy. There is skepticism about the treatment's effectiveness and concerns about misleading comparison photos.
The user discusses using Minoxidil and Finasteride for hair loss and plans to counteract potential facial aging from Minoxidil with tretinoin, a jade roller, dandelion root extract, and careful water and sodium intake. They also consider switching to topical Minoxidil and using supplements to enhance treatment response.
The conversation discusses whether Minoxidil (min) causes skin aging and if Tretinoin should be applied to the face and/or scalp to counteract this effect. Some users are unsure about the aging effect of Minoxidil, while others suggest using Tretinoin for better skin.
Blocking DHT may slow down aging and improve skin, with users reporting positive effects from finasteride. Minoxidil and RU58841 are also mentioned as treatments.
The conversation provides tips to reduce facial skin side effects from Minoxidil, such as changing pillowcases, sleeping on the back, careful application, hydration, and taking breaks. One reply suggests that alcohol in Minoxidil formulations, not Minoxidil itself, may cause skin aging.
The conversation discusses the use of low-dose oral minoxidil for hair loss and its potential effects on skin aging. Users shared experiences, with some noting side effects like puffy eyelids and dark circles, but no conclusive evidence of significant collagen depletion or increased wrinkles.
The conversation discusses concerns that Minoxidil may cause skin aging, like collagen depletion and puffier faces. Some users suggest that a good skincare routine or collagen supplements might prevent these effects.
User is concerned about starting minoxidil due to potential effects on collagen production and skin aging. They have been using finasteride for almost 2 months.

The conversation discusses concerns about oral minoxidil potentially aging the face by affecting collagen, questioning its systemic effects. The user has successfully used topical minoxidil for years and is hesitant to switch to oral minoxidil.
People discuss using Tretinoin for both skin anti-aging and improving hair loss treatments. They mention combining Tretinoin with Minoxidil to enhance its effectiveness for hair growth.
Finasteride may seem less effective over time due to increased DHT sensitivity or aging, but it still suppresses DHT. Switching to dutasteride offers stronger DHT suppression but may increase estrogen levels.
Minoxidil can inhibit collagen production, potentially causing premature aging. The user is inquiring if Vitamin C serum or derma rolling can counteract this effect.
