5 / 636 resultscommunity What Determines Sulfotransferase Enzyme Levels In The Body?
Some people have low sulfotransferase enzyme levels, affecting their response to minoxidil. Lifestyle factors, genetics, and diet, like MSM intake, might influence these enzyme levels.
community How does some people revive their scalps with minoxidil only?
Some people respond better to minoxidil due to higher enzyme levels converting it to its active form. Minoxidil helps with hair regrowth but doesn't prevent hair loss; finasteride and other DHT inhibitors are needed for that.
community M27 Fin/Min (topical) was fun while it lasted
The user experienced significant hair regrowth using topical Minoxidil and Finasteride but had to stop due to high liver enzyme levels. They plan to pause treatment for a month to see if their liver values return to normal.
community Will minoxidil not work if there’s too much DHT present in the scalp?
The user has been using topical finasteride and minoxidil for five months with little progress and is considering oral dutasteride to lower DHT levels, questioning if minoxidil is more effective with reduced DHT. They also use microneedling and tretinoin in their treatment routine.
community Tretinoin cream for the face - could I go to where I am receding or will it cause more hair loss? I heard it can help with hair?
Tretinoin may improve minoxidil's effectiveness for hair growth, but results vary; some users report no change or potential hair loss acceleration. Tretinoin is included in some topical hair loss treatments sold by dermatologists and online companies.
