Finasteride and minoxidil use resulted in a more youthful appearance and improved skin. There is debate about their effects on collagen and skin aging, with no solid evidence supporting significant changes due to finasteride.
community Should I just switch to oral minoxidil + where do you get cheap oral minoxidil in the United States?
Switching from topical to oral minoxidil due to scalp irritation and unsatisfactory results, while also seeking cheaper options in the U.S. Oral minoxidil is generally favored for its effectiveness and fewer application downsides, with CostPlusDrugs and GoodRx offering affordable prices.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
community 4.5 months on 1mg fin/6%min/2.5mg biotin hybrid progress
A 25-year-old male experienced hair regrowth after 4.5 months using a chewable treatment with 1mg finasteride, 6% minoxidil, and 2.5mg biotin, despite initial shedding and acne from accutane. Opinions on progress vary, with some noticing thicker hair and others seeing no difference or thinning.
community Update : 7 months on DUT every other day
The user experienced significant hair improvement after 7 months of using Dutasteride (DUT) every other day, with no side effects, unlike previous experiences with Finasteride (FIN) and Minoxidil (MIN). The user plans to continue DUT for up to 24 months and is considering a hair transplant for further results.
