Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is debated for hair regrowth, with some users suggesting it should be combined with treatments like minoxidil and finasteride for effectiveness. Many users express skepticism about LLLT's efficacy and cost, emphasizing the need for the correct wavelength and quality devices.
Minoxidil, often combined with microneedling, has helped some users improve hair growth at the temples and hairline. Finasteride is also mentioned as a treatment, with mixed results on its effectiveness.
A user successfully regrew hair over 12 months using topical minoxidil, topical finasteride, microneedling, and supplements, with no side effects. They credit their success to consistency and a comprehensive routine.
The user plans to switch from dutasteride back to finasteride due to worsening hair loss, possibly due to increased scalp testosterone. Others report mixed results with both treatments, showing individual variability.
Hair growth can be induced without stopping DHT, as seen with Minoxidil. HMI115 may work by promoting follicle growth, not targeting the root cause of hair loss (DHT).
