5 / 1000+ resultscommunity If Minoxidil Beards are permanent, why should Finasteride be unable to keep Minoxidil Gains on the scalp?
Whether Finasteride can keep alive the hair gained by Minoxidil after quitting it, and why beard hairs are not as susceptible to miniaturization. It is suggested that scalp hair may be dependent on Minoxidil and that DHT could be countered with Finasteride to some extent, but there is no definitive data proving this.
community Scalp tension and thickness of the galea aponeurotica, inflammation and potential treatment pathways
Scalp tension potentially affecting hair loss, and potential treatments for male pattern baldness such as Minoxidil, Finasteride and RU58841. Evidence from a study was discussed which suggests that the cause of MPB lies within the follicle itself and is not dependent on its surrounding environment.
community Hi i saw someone posting this and im just retyping it again tbh does anyone know whats the reason behind this!
Minoxidil helps hair growth on both scalp and face, but stopping it leads to hair loss on the scalp, not the face. The user questions why scalp hair can't be maintained with finasteride or androgen blockers after stopping minoxidil, despite these treatments reducing DHT damage.
community Sugar and Hair loss connections
High sugar diets may worsen hair loss by increasing 5α-reductase activity and androgen levels, especially in women with PCOS. A low sugar diet might reduce scalp DHT levels, similar to finasteride, but genetics also significantly influence hair loss.
community Efficacy of different dutasteride doses vs finasteride
Dutasteride doses matter for hair loss treatment and are more effective than finasteride. RU58841 is suggested for better gains, but side effect profiles should be considered.
