Procapil is marketed as a natural hair loss treatment but lacks strong evidence and is industry-biased. Minoxidil and Finasteride are the only FDA-approved treatments for androgenetic alopecia.
community Microneedling must reach the stem cells in the upper hair shaft
Microneedling should target depths of 0.5mm to 1.5mm for hair loss, with weekly sessions at 1mm recommended. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil is common for improved results.
community After using finasteride, did you notice an improvement in the hair shaft in terms of looking more “alive” and shiny?
Finasteride users reported improvements in hair appearance, including increased thickness, shine, and darker color. Some users noticed their hair looked healthier and less sunburned after starting the treatment.
community Hair Feels Rough and Frizzy on Oral Minoxidil and Finasteride: Causes?
Oral minoxidil and finasteride can change hair texture, making it drier or frizzier. Minoxidil is likely causing the roughness; adding a moisturizing treatment may help.
community Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.
Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.
