      community My personal experience/observations fighting AGA seriously for 5 years

      Minoxidil with alcohol and propylene glycol was more effective than non-alcohol versions, and RU58841 worked best in a non-water-based solution. Oral finasteride showed better results than topical, despite side effects; microneedling and tretinoin worsened hair loss, and PRP was only helpful when younger.

      The conversation is about seeking new research on hair loss treatments beyond the commonly known ones like Minoxidil and Finasteride. Additions to the list of treatments include topical caffeine, alfatradiol, fluridil, stemoxydine, and upcoming treatments like TDM-105795 and verteporfin.

      • Minoxidil 2%, 5% and 10% which is better to use? In a randomized trial in men, 5% topical minoxidil produced more hair growth than 2%. There is no approved 10% product and no head-to-head trial showing it beats 5%; higher strengths mainly add irritation and systemic absorption. Approved strengths differ by sex, so check the label for your product.
