5 / 56 resultscommunity New Research- Creatine Increasing Scalp DHT Without Corresponding Serum DHT Increase
Creatine may increase scalp DHT without affecting serum DHT, potentially speeding up male pattern baldness (MPB) for those genetically prone. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community My derm said they came up with a new serum that is better then fin? What’s y’all’s thoughts
A new serum claims to enhance hair regrowth by amplifying oxygen delivery, improving the effectiveness of treatments like exosomes and peptides. Users are skeptical, questioning its efficacy compared to established treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
community Is it a normal shed or is it fin not working (or making things worse)
The user experienced hair shedding after switching from minoxidil to finasteride and is considering switching to dutasteride or stopping pills altogether. They also stopped using a specific shampoo with probiotics, enzymatic exfoliator, zinc, and panthenol.
community Sharing my (relatively short) Success Story
A user named "paulsac11" shares their success story of treating hair loss. They started with topical minoxidil, then switched to oral minoxidil and dutasteride. They also used a shampoo and conditioner from Keeps. After eight months of treatment, they have seen significant improvement in their hairline.
community I literally can’t find any evidence of sulfotransferase being upregulated by microneedling or retinoids like tretinoin
Microneedling and tretinoin may enhance minoxidil absorption for hair loss, but evidence on their effectiveness is limited. Iron supplements and broccoli sprouts are suggested for enzyme activation, but their impact on hair is unclear.
