community The no BS guide to saving your hair without finasteride (improvement in 90% of patients in the study) with a low side effect profile or improvement in 100% of patients but a higher side effect profile and increased dosage. The future is here?
Hair loss treatments, specifically the use of oral minoxidil in combination with micro-needling. Oral minoxidil has been found to improve hair density in 90% of patients with a low side effect profile, but using 5mg per day can result in higher side effects including hypertrichosis and edema. Other treatments mentioned include finasteride and RU58841.
