research Viable terminal scalp hair follicles constitute a necessary and sufficient biological end‐organ that conditions clinical efficacy of finasteride in males with male pattern hair loss without implying reversal of miniaturized follicles

6 citations , June 2019 in “Skin Research and Technology”

In this study, finasteride treatment for two years did not significantly reverse miniaturized hair follicles in men with male pattern hair loss, challenging the "reversal hypothesis" as 79 out of 113 miniaturized hairs remained unchanged.

community How to tell if it’s miniaturizing vs regrowth?

in Is this regrowth? 9 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses hair regrowth and miniaturization, with the user transitioning to oral dutasteride and oral minoxidil, and occasionally using topical minoxidil. The user observes baby hairs near the hairline but less on the scalp, indicating possible regrowth and shedding.

community Oral minoxidil gives hair everywhere except scalp,plss help

in Minoxidil 41 upvotes 1 year ago

in General 68 upvotes 10 months ago

community Finasteride completely stopped itching on my scalp

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 27 upvotes 1 year ago

learn Fluridil

Can daily Fluridil application stop hair follicle miniaturization? The single published fluridil trial (43 men, 9 months, double-blind and placebo-controlled) reported more hairs in the growth phase, but it never measured follicle diameter and has not been replicated — so whether daily use stops miniaturization is unproven, and community users describe stabilization rather than regrowth.
