research Maintenance of Optimized Hair Growth from Viable Terminal Scalp Hair Follicles at Baseline with Oral Finasteride in Male Pattern Hair Loss and First Evidence of a Drug Dependency and a Post-Finasteride Rebound Effect
Finasteride helps hair growth but stopping it causes faster hair loss.
research Exhaustive Analysis of Scalp Hair Regression: Subjective and Objective Perception from Initial Hair Loss to Severe Miniaturization and Drug-Induced Regrowth
Hair loss reduces hair thickness and coverage, but drug treatments mainly revive dormant hairs rather than reverse thinning; patients often undervalue their hair loss severity.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Combing the Hair Follicle Signaling Pathways for New Therapeutic Targets and More Effective Treatment Options
New treatments for hair loss may target specific pathways and generate new hair follicles.
research Viable Terminal Scalp Hair Follicles Are Necessary and Sufficient for Clinical Efficacy of Finasteride in Male Pattern Hair Loss
Finasteride works for hair loss by maintaining existing hair follicles, not reversing miniaturization.

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.
community Finasteride, dutasteride, and oral min- My experience
User took Fin for 3 years, Dut for 7 months, and oral Min for 2 months without side effects. Fin stopped hair loss for 2 years, Dut maintained hair, and oral Min regrew thinning hair.
community Dont stop using Minoxidil i beg you! Dont be fool like me.
Stopping minoxidil causes significant hair loss, as continued use is necessary for maintaining gains. Combining minoxidil with finasteride may help maintain hair, but both treatments are typically lifelong commitments.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
community Dutasteride SAVES your hair follicles: MAJOR BS on people who say it destroyed their hair permanently.
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of hair loss treatments, specifically finasteride and dutasteride. The conclusion is that dutasteride significantly reduces DHT levels and may be more effective than finasteride for long-term hair retention, with some users reporting personal experiences and side effects.
