community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 10 months ago

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

community I’ve been on oral finasteride/Proscar for 15 years. (AMA)

in Treatment 11 upvotes 2 years ago

A user has been on oral Finasteride/Proscar for 15 years and started using topical Minoxidil, RU58841, and Dutasteride, along with microneedling, 2 years ago. They shared progress pictures and discussed their treatment routine.

community Finasteride does deplete important nuero-active steroids

11 upvotes 3 years ago

Finasteride can reduce neuroactive steroids, causing side effects like depression, anxiety, and sexual dysfunction. Some users experience persistent symptoms after stopping finasteride, while others use alternative treatments like topical solutions.

community Hair and normal skin created from human pluripotent stem cells for the first time

86 upvotes 6 years ago

Human pluripotent stem cells have been used to create hair and skin, potentially offering a new solution for baldness. A user also mentioned starting finasteride but experiencing unexpected hair thinning.

community PP405 Hair Loss Drug: Phase 1 Human Results & Biopsy Insights

213 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 is a potential hair loss treatment undergoing trials, with discussions on its effectiveness and comparison to existing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. There is skepticism about its status as a cure, with hopes for future advancements in genetic treatments like CRISPR.
