The post discusses a hair loss treatment regime using Nizoral, a laser helmet, dermaroller, bentonite clay mask with essential oils, and ketoconazole shampoo. The user avoids finasteride and minoxidil due to concerns about side effects and pet safety.
community Would it be better if Nizoral's Keto-2% Shampoo had a larger volume?
The conversation discusses the inconvenience of frequently resupplying Nizoral's Keto-2% Shampoo due to its small bottle sizes. It also mentions treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 for hair loss.
community He used Dutasteride for 20 YEARS: TL;DR Slight gains and largely stable for 20 years.
John has experienced slight hair gains and stability over 20 years using Dutasteride, which is more effective than Finasteride in reducing scalp DHT and maintaining hair. Dutasteride at 0.5mg daily has a similar side effect profile to Finasteride, but at higher doses, it may increase the risk of sexual side effects.
community Out of curiosity, why are Finasteride pills formulated as small tablets, while Dutasteride pills are much larger soft gel capsules?
Finasteride and Dutasteride are used for hair loss, with Dutasteride often in gel form for better bioavailability. Switching from Finasteride to Dutasteride is common, with some users combining treatments like Minoxidil for improved results.
community Random thought that I don't think I have seen here yet. If Verteporfin is able to stop scar formation successfully in humans to a large degree (assuming future studies show this), wouldn't this basically open up the door for it being a no brainer for strong NW2s and 3s to opt for hairline lowering?
The conversation discusses the potential for Verteporfin to reduce scarring, making hairline lowering surgeries more viable for men with mild hair loss. The user suggests that if scarring can be minimized, men might opt for hairline lowering instead of using grafts for other areas.
