5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Topical finasteride now the safest possible path?
Topical finasteride is considered a safer option for hair regrowth with fewer systemic side effects compared to oral finasteride. Some users report similar efficacy and side effects between topical and oral treatments, while others prefer topical due to reduced systemic exposure.
community Minoxidil inhibits lysyl hydroxylase which is needed to produce collagen. If I take 2,5...5 mg of minoxidil every day can I cause my skin to age prematurely?
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss and unlikely to significantly affect collagen synthesis, making it a safe option without causing premature skin aging. Users report positive hair regrowth without noticeable skin aging.
community Topical T3 study - 1000% Growth. Anyone tried it?
The conversation discusses using T3 (triiodothyronine) as a topical treatment for hair growth, with some users noting it showed promising results in studies but lacked follow-up. Users express interest in trying T3 due to its potential effectiveness compared to Minoxidil.
community Dutasteride 0.5 mg/day lowers scalp DHT levels by only 50% (but 2.5 mg/day lowers scalp DHT by 80%).
Dutasteride at 2.5 mg/day reduces scalp DHT by 80%, while 0.5 mg/day reduces it by 50%, with minimal difference in side effects. Users often combine it with finasteride, RU58841, and minoxidil for better hair loss management, though side effects like dry skin and pimples are noted.
community So does oral minoxidil age your skin or not
Oral minoxidil may cause dry skin and dark eye bags but doesn't significantly age the skin. Topical minoxidil is toxic to cats, and some users prefer finasteride.
