community Tressless: The Sub Where people fear monger about Finasteride, but advocate for Oral Minoxidil.

29 upvotes 4 years ago

Oral minoxidil is considered unsafe due to severe side effects and requires close medical supervision, while oral finasteride is viewed as safe and effective. There is debate over the fear-mongering around finasteride and the downplaying of minoxidil's risks, with some users advocating for proper health screenings before use.

community Let’s be real, does infrequent smoking really accelerate MPB and/or cause health issues?

10 upvotes 3 weeks ago

Smoking infrequently is unlikely to significantly impact hair loss or health, especially when using treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. Genetics play a larger role in hair loss, and low smoking frequency is not considered a major risk.

learn Niacinamide

Does niacinamide improve scalp health or reduce hair thinning? Niacinamide has been studied mainly on facial skin. No trial shows it improves scalp circulation or slows hair thinning.

learn Metformin

Can metformin improve scalp health in people with insulin resistance or PCOS? There is no controlled trial showing that metformin improves scalp hair. The PCOS studies most often cited measured unwanted body hair, not scalp density, and a published case report describes hair loss during metformin treatment; any use for hair would be off-label and a decision for a prescribing doctor.

learn retinol

Does retinol improve scalp health or help other hair growth treatments work? No trial has tested over-the-counter retinol for hair; the studies used prescription tretinoin (retinoic acid), mostly in the lab, with mixed results. Retinoids need caution in pregnancy, so ask a doctor first.

learn Folic acid

How does folic acid support hair follicle health and growth at a cellular level? Folate is required for the DNA synthesis that fast-dividing hair matrix cells depend on, and severe deficiency causes anemia—but no published trial has given folic acid to people with hair loss and measured the result, so a growth effect is a mechanism, not a finding.

learn Pumpkin seed oil

Does pumpkin seed oil help improve scalp health and reduce inflammation? No human study has measured whether pumpkin seed oil reduces scalp inflammation. The one hair trial, funded by the capsule supplier, did not look at inflammation.
