      community Seeking advice about whether expensive hair treatment is worth it

      in Treatment  1 upvotes 4 weeks ago
      The conversation is about hair loss treatments, with users recommending Finasteride and Minoxidil as the gold standard. They suggest microneedling and laser therapy as cost-effective home treatments, while expressing skepticism about the expensive clinic treatment and V2X product.

      community What else is good. Besides the big 3.

      Key treatments for hair preservation include minoxidil, finasteride/dutasteride, and microneedling, with additional options like specific shampoos, oils, biotin, zinc, tretinoin, clascoterone, and low-level laser therapy. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reducing stress, and addressing nutrient deficiencies can also support hair health.
