5 / 1000+ resultscommunity A meta analysis of 18 popular hair loss treatments. An 2022 guide on efficacy. From finasteride and minoxidil to caffeine shampoo, saw palmetto and biotin. 96 Scientific References included.
Most hair loss treatments are ineffective; only finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil show effectiveness.
community HairClone developing cell replacement treatments for Hair Loss
HairClone is developing cell replacement treatments to rejuvenate and generate hair follicles, and has launched a crowdfunding campaign. A user expressed skepticism about the need for crowdfunding.
community Occipitalis Muscle Tension Theory
Scalp tension from the occipitalis muscle is theorized to contribute to hair loss, but most believe DHT and genetics are the main causes. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are considered more effective than addressing scalp tension.
community Story time! The Great Unbalding (PP405)
PP405 is a promising new hair loss treatment that may reactivate dormant hair follicles without side effects. It could surpass traditional treatments like minoxidil and finasteride if successful in further trials.
community Why hasn’t anybody or any company done experiments on whether minoxidil and finasteride have effects on human collagen and elastin after a year of use compared to placebo? (In vivo not vitro)
The conversation discusses the lack of in vivo studies on the effects of minoxidil and finasteride on human collagen and elastin after a year of use. It highlights the potential benefits of such research for understanding side effects and improving sales, despite challenges like cost and competition.
