Stem cell therapies could be a promising alternative for hair loss treatment, but more research is needed to understand their full potential and safety.
A user is experiencing hair loss and has been using topical finasteride for 3.5 months, with increased shedding for 2.5 months. They are also using ketoconazole shampoo, low-level lasertherapy, scalp massage, and rosemary oil, and are seeking reassurance and advice on whether prolonged shedding is normal and if others have had positive outcomes with finasteride.
Effective treatments for hair loss include finasteride, dutasteride, RU58841, and minoxidil. Starting treatment early is important, and users discuss different brands, forms, and side effects.
For hair loss, start with Finasteride, Minoxidil, Ketoconazole shampoo, and Microneedling. For severe cases, consider Dutasteride, oral Minoxidil, or hair transplants.
Low-level lasertherapy (LLLT) is debated for hair regrowth, with some users suggesting it should be combined with treatments like minoxidil and finasteride for effectiveness. Many users express skepticism about LLLT's efficacy and cost, emphasizing the need for the correct wavelength and quality devices.
Low-level lasertherapy (LLLT) stimulates hair growth but current devices are expensive. A proposed non-profit project aims to create affordable, 3D-printed LLLT devices and collect data on their effectiveness.
