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.

After 8 months of using topical finasteride, hair miniaturization continues, raising concerns about its effectiveness. Microneedling is suggested as a possible complementary treatment.
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 GT20029 and PP405 the new fin and min that we been waiting for ?
PP405 and GT20029 are new hair loss treatments with different mechanisms from traditional options like Minoxidil and Finasteride. PP405 targets hair follicle stem cells to reactivate growth, while GT20029 works as an androgen receptor deleter, both requiring ongoing use for effectiveness.
