Hair loss treatments, with people sharing their experiences of trying to get help from family members and how genetics can affect the severity of hair loss. Treatments mentioned include finasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, scalp massage, whey protein and bleaching.
community Having androgen receptor density and sensitivity at wrong f*ing place
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on the use of topical minoxidil, microneedling, finasteride, and dutasteride, while debating the role of testosterone and DHT in hair loss. It also touches on the potential liver health impacts of these treatments and the genetic sensitivity of hair follicles to androgens.
community Do we know exactly why some people respond so great to dut/fin,min and others dont?
Genetic factors, enzyme activity, and DHT sensitivity affect individual responses to hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride. Starting treatments early can slow hair loss, but results vary among individuals.
community How do we only have two treatments to combat hair loss at this point in time?
The post discusses frustration over the limited and not always effective treatments for hair loss, mainly Minoxidil and Finasteride. The conversation includes mentions of potential new treatments like GT20029, HMI-115, CosmeRNA, KX-826, and microneedling, but also highlights the challenges of funding and prioritizing research in this area.
community Am I balding? Should I just shave it off?(M86)
A user humorously questions if they should shave their head due to hair loss, mentioning Ronald Reagan's impressive hair genetics. Replies include jokes and comments about jealousy and distrust towards older individuals with full heads of hair.
