OP shared a 7-year hair density progress update using Minoxidil, Finasteride, and dermarolling. Creatine use was discussed, with mixed opinions on its impact on hair loss.
The conversation discusses differences in hair shaft diameter and density between thinning and denser areas on the scalp. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
Can stemoxydine help improve hair density in both men and women?Stemoxydine is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair loss drug, and the manufacturer's three-month trials enrolled men only, reporting a small increase in measured hair density. One small uncontrolled study that included women reported improvement in both sexes but more in men, so a benefit for women is not established.
How long should Procyanidin be used before seeing visible improvements in hair volume or density?The three published trials of topical procyanidin alone measured results at four to twelve months, so any visible change would take at least several months. All were small, in men only, and run by the company that developed the ingredient; procyanidin is not an approved hair-loss treatment.
