community Do you have short but thick hair that won't grow past a certain lenght?

in Chat 9 upvotes 1 month ago

Thick hair that won't grow past a certain length may be due to miniaturizing hairs with a shorter cycle. Treatments mentioned include minoxidil, oral dutasteride, and a derminator device.

community Why are the results so varied depending on WHERE you’re balding??

in Chat 9 upvotes 1 month ago

Minoxidil and finasteride are more effective for diffuse thinning and crown balding because these areas have miniaturizing but still alive hairs that respond well to treatment. The hairline is less responsive to these medications due to its androgen sensitivity and often requires a transplant for restoration.

learn Finasteride

Does hair strand thickness decrease in men with androgenic alopecia? Can finasteride help restore it? Androgenic alopecia thins hair strands by miniaturizing follicles. The pivotal finasteride trials (1,553 men, 1 mg/day, two years) report increased hair counts and improved assessed appearance, but they measured density, not the diameter of individual strands, so the effect on thickness itself is not established.
