5 / 51 resultscommunity A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
community For what it's worth, I just want to state that I also think that adding Dutasteride to Finasteride has made my hair worse
A user shared that adding Dutasteride to Finasteride worsened their hair loss, despite initial improvements with Finasteride alone. Others in the conversation debated the effectiveness of Dutasteride, with some suggesting individual responses vary and others defending its proven efficacy for hair loss.
community How does dutasteride regrowth work?
A 25-year-old man with hair loss from bleach damage is using oral minoxidil and considering adding Dutasteride for better regrowth and prevention. He seeks advice on Dutasteride's effectiveness and potential benefits over finasteride, and is also curious about RU58841.
community Quit vaping/smoking = 80% less loss
Quitting vaping significantly reduced hair loss for a user who was a heavy vaper and also taking finasteride. Some participants suggest nicotine's vasoconstrictive properties may worsen hair loss, while others share personal anecdotes of hair improvement after quitting smoking or vaping.
community People need to start accepting that only medical therapy (Fin/Dut) can save your hair in the long run.
Minoxidil can regrow hair but doesn't address the underlying issue of DHT, leading to continued hair loss. Users discuss their experiences with finasteride and dutasteride, mentioning side effects, personal outcomes, and alternatives like microdosing topical finasteride.
