The post and conversation are about hairloss treatments that have been found to be effective in studies. There are 19 different treatments mentioned, including oral minoxidil, oral dutasteride, topical finasteride, RU58841, and more. The best treatment for an individual depends on factors like availability, cost, side effects, and personal preferences.
Minoxidil alone is often insufficient for treating hairloss because it doesn't address the DHT-related cause. Combining it with finasteride, a DHT blocker, is generally more effective.
Stopping minoxidil causes significant hairloss, as continued use is necessary for maintaining gains. Combining minoxidil with finasteride may help maintain hair, but both treatments are typically lifelong commitments.
Natural treatments for hairloss, specifically peppermint oil and rosemary oil; how they can be used as a supplementary or alternative treatment to pharmaceuticals such as finasteride and minoxidil; and the personal experience of the user Divallo, who has seen an increase in density and thickness after using these oils for around 2.5 years. The post also touches on the potential antifungal properties of the oils and their effects on cutaneous blood flow.
CosmeRNA, a new hairloss treatment, is expected to release soon and may become part of the "big three" treatments alongside finasteride and minoxidil. It works differently from finasteride by targeting androgen receptors in hair follicles, potentially offering fewer side effects.
Rating treatments for hairloss, with the help of GPT-4, according to efficacy, evidence and tolerability; a combination of chemicals from research papers, custom compounds, and some suggestions from other users were included.

Rosemary extract showed high inhibitory activity against DHT, similar to finasteride and dutasteride, but the conversation includes skepticism about its effectiveness in humans since the study was done on mice and rosemary oil is often considered ineffective based on personal experiences. Some suggest trying rosemary oil alongside other treatments, while others emphasize the difference between the extract used in the study and the oil.
Some men are bald because they are unaware of hairloss treatments like Minoxidil (Min) and Finasteride (Fin), while others choose not to use them due to potential side effects, cost, or personal preference. Treatments like Min and Fin are discussed, with varying results and opinions on their effectiveness and side effects.
Hairloss treatments discussed include dermarolling, minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. Some users find dermarolling sad, while others mention the complexity of biological systems and limited research funding for hairloss.

The conversation is about a user considering the use of Ketoconazole 2% shampoo before showing signs of male pattern baldness (MPB) to potentially delay its onset, inspired by a YouTuber who uses the shampoo to reduce scalp DHT levels. The user's interest in this preventative measure stems from a family history of MPB.
The conversation discusses the progress of Clascoterone (Breezula) for hairloss treatment, noting that COVID-19 delayed female trials by three months but Phase III trials for males are proceeding with a Special Protocol Assessment filed with the FDA. Users express hope for Breezula as an alternative to existing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, despite concerns about its potential high cost.

Hairloss 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.
The conclusion of the conversation is that the user has tried various medications and treatments for hairloss, including minoxidil, finasteride, microneedling, and nizoral shampoo, but has not seen any progress. They have decided to shave their head. Other users suggest options such as hair transplants, RU58841, hair units, and scalp micropigmentation.

A user who is trying alternative treatments, such as mucuna pruriens dissolved in water/alcohol and a blend of jojoba oil, rosemary oil, and peppermint oil, for hairloss. Other users have shared anecdotal evidence, discussed the potential effectiveness of certain treatments, and questioned the time sensitivity of experimenting with new treatments.
Dutasteride promotes more hair regrowth than Minoxidil. Users discuss combining treatments for better results and share personal experiences with side effects.
Checking vitamin and hormone levels is important for addressing hairloss, as deficiencies in vitamin D, zinc, and iron can affect hair growth. Treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and vitamin supplements are used, but addressing deficiencies is crucial for effectiveness.
Minoxidil and finasteride are effective for hairloss, especially when used together. Microneedling may enhance minoxidil's effects, but its standalone effectiveness is uncertain.
The conversation is about choosing between finasteride and minoxidil for hairloss treatment. Most users prefer finasteride, citing its effectiveness in stopping hairloss, while some mention using both for better results.
A dermatologist advised a patient to stop taking finasteride (fin) after turning 40 due to potential risk of aggressive prostate cancer.
