community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community Sunlight: Does it Stimulate Hair Growth or Hair Loss?
The conversation discusses whether sunlight exposure affects hair growth or loss, with mixed anecdotes and theories but no clear consensus. Some suggest moderate sunlight can benefit hair by providing vitamin D, while others doubt its effectiveness compared to treatments like Minoxidil or finasteride.
community How important is microneedling (dermarolling)?
A user has been using oral finasteride and minoxidil without significant hair regrowth and is questioning the effectiveness of adding microneedling to their routine. Another user suggests microneedling can help with topical treatments but doesn't see it as a major factor in improving hair loss.
community A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
community Glad that many influencers are coming out on taking fin and sharing their regrowth regime.
The conversation is about influencers sharing their hair growth regime, specifically mentioning the use of finasteride (Fin) and minoxidil (Min). Some users express skepticism about the effectiveness of these treatments and discuss other factors that could contribute to hair loss.
