5 / 176 resultscommunity Thoughts on platelet-rich plasma therapy
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for hair loss is expensive, painful, and often ineffective, with mixed reviews on its benefits. Alternatives like minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants are suggested as more reliable options.
community Everyone is ignoring that plasma finasteride levels are 100x lower with topical compared to oral.
Topical finasteride results in plasma levels 100 times lower than oral finasteride, potentially reducing systemic side effects. Users report similar efficacy with fewer side effects, suggesting a preference for topical application.
community Topical finasteride has affected my hormones
A 21-year-old experienced hormone changes after using self-made topical finasteride for hair loss, including a 20% decrease in DHT, a 47% increase in testosterone, and a 39% increase in estradiol. The user previously used minoxidil and microneedling but is now seeking ways to balance hormones, possibly through supplements or dosage adjustments.
community My experience taking two months off fin
Stopping finasteride increased sex drive and improved mood but caused hair shedding and scalp irritation. Users discussed balancing hair preservation with side effects, considering alternatives like topical finasteride and minoxidil.
community Any treatment not nuking systemic DHT levels?
Hair loss treatments that avoid significantly lowering systemic DHT levels, focusing on topical options like dutasteride mesotherapy, minoxidil, and ketoconazole. The user is exploring alternatives like KX-826 and RU58841 due to concerns about hormone levels.
