5 / 1000+ resultscommunity FINASTRIDE and switch to DUTASTRIDE, my experience
The user shared their experience with Finasteride and Dutasteride for hair loss. They initially had success with Finasteride but switched to Dutasteride after experiencing shedding, which continued, and are now considering a hair transplant.
community Diffuse thinning is the worst man
The conversation is about the struggles of dealing with diffuse thinning at a young age and the lack of significant improvement after using treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. Some suggest additional methods like derma rolling, microneedling, and hair fibers, while others share their own experiences and encourage persistence with treatment.
community CRISPR Is Curing People Right Now. Genetic Hair Loss is Next?
CRISPR shows promise for treating hair loss by targeting specific genes. Current treatments include Minoxidil and finasteride, but CRISPR could offer a more precise solution, though it is still expensive and in early stages.
community The meds work: my dad at 23 yo vs me at 35 yo
Finasteride and oral minoxidil effectively maintain a youthful appearance and full head of hair, despite genetic predispositions to balding. The discussion also considers the impact of DHT blockers on masculinity and aging, with lifestyle choices like sunscreen use and a vegetarian diet mentioned.
community Being Safe on Oral Minoxidil: tl;dr on the literature.
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss but can cause cardiovascular side effects, such as pericardial effusion, especially in those with genetic predispositions. Starting with low doses and monitoring cardiovascular health are advised to reduce risks.
