      community I am actually regrowing my hairline without minoxidil or finasteride (mechanical stimulation)

       129 upvotes 8 years ago
      Regrowing hairline without the use of Minoxidil or Finasteride, and instead using mechanical stimulation such as Derma Roller, Nizoral, Zinc Pyrithione, Scalp Massage, Scalp Exercise, Fish Oil and other topical solutions. It is cautioned that there are risks associated with not using medically-prescribed treatments, but it is suggested to consider mechanical stimulation in addition to those prescribed treatments.

      community Why does MPB only affect the scalp

      in Research/Science  14 upvotes 1 year ago

      Finasteride and dutasteride are considered the best treatments for male pattern baldness, but they are not cures as they only slow hair loss. Other potential treatments like topical melatonin and natural DHT blockers are discussed, but aging and other factors like inflammation also play roles in hair loss.
