Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hairgrowth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hairgrowth.
The post discusses whether finasteride can maintain hairgrowth stimulated by minoxidil. The response indicates that finasteride cannot sustain minoxidil-grown hairs.
User started minoxidil and microneedling for hairgrowth and saw amazing results, but recently experienced hair thinning again. Others suggest adding finasteride, but user is hesitant and has difficulty obtaining it.
Kintor's Pyrilutamide (KX-826) showed hairgrowth in Chinese Phase III trials but did not significantly outperform placebo. The treatment was safe with no major adverse reactions reported.
Safflower oil is suggested as an alternative to minoxidil for hairgrowth, with benefits including scalp conditioning and hair strength enhancement. Studies indicate it may also reverse scalp dermatitis, alopecia, and prevent premature grayness.
TWIST-1 gene's role in hair loss and potential as a treatment target. Inhibiting TWIST-1 may prolong hairgrowth and reduce hair follicle sensitivity to DHT.
The conversation is a humorous discussion about excessive hairgrowth due to using minoxidil, with suggestions of laser hair removal and comments on the appearance of the hair. Some users joke about starting finasteride treatment at a young age or being non-responders to hair loss treatments.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatment using 1ml of minoxidil twice daily and a 1.5mm dermaroller once a week. One person suggests considering finasteride, while another emphasizes the importance of microneedling in maintaining hairgrowth.
User experienced hair regrowth after eliminating scalp itch with RU58841. Others discussed itch and hair loss connection, and effectiveness of combining RU58841 with 5AR inhibitors.
IGFBP‐rP1 shows potential for treating androgenic alopecia by influencing hair cycle transitions. Increasing IGF-1 levels may have similar effects to Minoxidil and 5-AR inhibitors in reducing hair loss.
Hair loss may be caused by calcification of capillaries in the scalp, restricting blood flow to hair follicles. A daily treatment regimen including high doses of Vitamins D and K, Magnesium, and Nattokinase could potentially decalcify these capillaries, improving blood flow and hairgrowth. However, some users warn against excessive Vitamin D intake and emphasize the need for medical consultation.
Hair loss treatments, specifically the use of finasteride, microneedling and potentially oral minoxidil. People discussed their experiences with finasteride, its effects on sexual behaviors, as well as potential solutions such as tadalafil or using other growth factor signal peptides for hope in curing male pattern baldness.
Hair loss and its potential treatments, such as minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, and supplements. It discusses whether miniaturized follicles can be revived to grow again or must shed for new growth to appear.
Potential side effects of 5AR inhibitors like finasteride and dutasteride. Users debate risks, benefits, and personal experiences with these hair loss treatments.
Some people respond better to minoxidil due to higher enzyme levels converting it to its active form. Minoxidil helps with hair regrowth but doesn't prevent hair loss; finasteride and other DHT inhibitors are needed for that.
User had a hair transplant and used a finasteride and minoxidil spray for 6 months with no results. After adding finasteride tablets for 1 month, they saw significant hairgrowth improvement.
Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hairgrowth.
The conversation discusses a natural approach to hair loss treatment using rosemary, peppermint oil, derma roller, pumpkin seed oil, and saw palmetto. Commenters note a slight or minor difference in hairgrowth.
Dutasteride and finasteride are effective for many in reducing hair loss by lowering DHT levels, though results vary based on individual sensitivity and genetics. Higher doses of dutasteride may not significantly increase hairgrowth due to diminishing returns, and topical finasteride is suggested as an alternative for some.
A user shared their experience with hair loss treatments, noting improvement after switching from minoxidil and finasteride to dutasteride. They observed new hairgrowth and reduced scalp inflammation, expressing hope for further progress.
The conversation discusses a user's two-month hair regrowth progress using Minoxidil and a 0.5mm dermaroller. Some suggest adding a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor like finasteride or dutasteride to maintain the results.
The post and conversation are about a user's progress with hair loss. The user used dutasteride (DUT) for 9 months and then added minoxidil for 3 months. They experienced significant improvements in hairgrowth and stopped their hair loss.
User TopBack56 and friends tried pyrilutamide (KX-826) for hair loss without experiencing negative side effects. They observed fine vellus hairs but no thick hairgrowth yet, and plan to add GT20029 to their regime after safety trials.
The post discusses the difference in effects of Minoxidil (Min) on scalp and facial hair. The user questions why Min-induced hairgrowth on the scalp is temporary, while facial hairgrowth seems permanent, even after stopping Min. They propose theories, including different Min mechanisms on body and facial hair, the role of DHT, and the possibility of not achieving fully terminal hair. The responses include personal experiences and theories about Min's effects on hairgrowth.
The conversation discusses the conflicting information about Zinc's effect on DHT and its role in hair loss. It mentions that Zinc can act as a 5AR inhibitor at high doses but may increase DHT if taken to correct a deficiency, and highlights the importance of nutritional balance for hair health.
A user shared progress pictures after three months of using topical minoxidil for hair loss, planning to add dermarolling later. Some responders are skeptical of the rapid hairgrowth, while others are impressed or question the authenticity of the photos.
User took 1mg oral finasteride daily and topical minoxidil twice a day for 6 months, showing hairgrowth progress. Others discussed dosage and shared positive feedback on results.
User shared 9-month progress using Minoxidil 5% (switched to 10% last 3 months) and Finasteride 1mg daily for hairgrowth. Experienced improvement in hair volume, but crown still not fully filled; considering transplant if no further progress.

The user discussed switching from RU58841 with Minoxidil to Finasteride due to cost, noting better physical feelings and hairgrowth with RU58841. They are considering returning to RU58841 and checking DHT levels after a month.
