research A Bald Statement: Current Approaches to Manipulate Miniaturization Focus Only on Promoting Hair Growth
The conclusion is that future hair loss treatments should target the root causes of hair thinning, not just promote hair growth.
research Exhaustive Analysis of Scalp Hair Regression: Subjective and Objective Perception from Initial Hair Loss to Severe Miniaturization and Drug-Induced Regrowth
Hair loss reduces hair thickness and coverage, but drug treatments mainly revive dormant hairs rather than reverse thinning; patients often undervalue their hair loss severity.
research Contribution of Hair Density and Hair Diameter to the Appearance and Progression of Androgenetic Alopecia in Japanese Men
Hair thickness matters more than density for baldness in Japanese men over 25.
research Advances in Hair Growth
The best long-lasting results in treating hair loss may be achieved through combination therapy, including treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and platelet-rich plasma injections.

5 / 690 resultscommunity Topical min/fin for 8 months. Still seeing continuous miniaturisation
After 8 months of using topical finasteride, hair miniaturization continues, raising concerns about its effectiveness. Microneedling is suggested as a possible complementary treatment.
community Could Finasteride theoretically induce chronic telogen effluvium?
A user experienced continuous hair shedding for 13 months after starting finasteride, suspecting it might cause chronic telogen effluvium, and considered switching to dutasteride or stopping medication. Other users suggested that finasteride doesn't cause hair loss, recommending dutasteride for more aggressive hair loss, while some advised against stopping medication.
community 12 months of diffuse shedding on fin, unsure how to proceed
A user experienced 12 months of hair shedding on finasteride and is unsure about continuing, increasing the dose, or switching to dutasteride. Suggestions include adding minoxidil, adjusting finasteride dosage, and checking for deficiencies.
community Testosterone in Reference Range Doesn't Cause Hair Loss
Testosterone within the normal range does not significantly contribute to male pattern baldness (MPB); DHT is the main factor that can be controlled. Genetics play a crucial role in hair loss, and treatments like finasteride and dutasteride, which block DHT, can help despite potentially raising testosterone levels.
community 5+ year users, what has your experience been on fin and dut?
Users discussed their experiences with hair loss treatments, primarily finasteride (Fin) and dutasteride (Dut), often combined with minoxidil (Min) and derma rolling. Many reported mixed results, with some seeing slowed hair loss and others experiencing side effects or minimal improvement.
