    timely identification and treatment of initial disease stages

    Early intervention refers to the timely identification and treatment of a condition or disease at its initial stages. In the context of hair and alopecia, it means addressing hair loss as soon as the first signs appear, which can significantly improve the chances of slowing or reversing the condition. This approach often involves medical evaluations, lifestyle changes, and possibly medications or therapies to prevent further progression.

      community Do hair follicles dies or are dormant ?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  92 upvotes 8 months ago
      Hair follicles can be dormant and potentially revived with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, but irreversible loss occurs if certain structures are destroyed. Early intervention is more effective, and additional methods like microneedling may help.
