5 / 25 resultscommunity How does hair loss and recovery work?
Hair loss varies due to genetic sensitivity to DHT and other factors. Treatments discussed include finasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, and microneedling.
community Does lowering serum prolactin lower prolactin in the scalp?
The conversation discusses whether not masturbating (semen retention) affects hair loss, with opinions varying but generally dismissing the idea. Some participants mention using hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841, but the effectiveness and relation to prolactin levels in the scalp are debated.
community My dermatologist didn't give me finasteride and instead gave me latanoprost and some cream
User asked dermatologist for finasteride, received latanoprost and diprogenta cream instead. Others suggest latanoprost is expensive and not better than minoxidil, recommend trying another doctor for finasteride.
community Physio-metabolic method of treating androgenic alopecia. Cold receptors. The relationship between DHT, cold receptors, minoxidil and antiandrogens.
A method for treating androgenic alopecia using minoxidil, antiandrogens, exercise, and cold exposure to promote hair growth. Environmental factors and lifestyle changes, like diet and exercise, can improve treatment effectiveness.
community HLT Megathread on HMI-115 (key takeaways in comments)
HMI-115, a newly discovered hair loss treatment that could potentially be effective for those with diffuse thinning and telogen effluvium. It is based on prolactin receptor antagonist signaling and has already undergone Phase I trials in women, with potential commercialization by 2027.
