User shares 8-month progress on oral finasteride and minoxidil, noting initial success followed by a second shed. They seek advice on drug resistance and pill efficacy, with responses suggesting to push through the shed and consider the impact of cycling off minoxidil.
community Why liposomal finasteride and minoxidil may be better than traditional topical solutions.
Liposomal formulations of finasteride and minoxidil may enhance drug delivery to the skin and hair follicles more effectively than traditional solutions, potentially improving treatment outcomes. However, more human clinical trials are needed to confirm these benefits.
community New and Interesting HairLoss Studies/Papers/Reviews
Hair loss treatments discussed include Dutasteride with Ketoconazole, tissue engineering strategies, and androgenetic alopecia therapies. Massage doubles follicular retention, improving treatment effectiveness.
community New Study Fails to Show Benefits of Microneedling in Males with Balding.
A new study suggests microneedling alone doesn't benefit male balding, but users argue the study's methods differ from common practices, like combining microneedling with minoxidil and using more frequent treatments. Some believe the study's short duration and infrequent sessions are inadequate to assess microneedling's effectiveness.
community Are there ever going to be any oral DHT blocking treatments in the future?
The discussion revolves around the need for future oral DHT blockers for hair loss treatment that don't have the side effects of current options like Finasteride and Dutasteride. One user suggests that the future of hair loss treatment will likely be topical anti-androgens, as they can target hair follicles without affecting the entire system.
