Minoxidil may age skin by slowing collagen synthesis, but using collagen peptides and a basic skincare routine might counteract this. Foam minoxidil could reduce systemic absorption and avoid alcohol-related side effects.
community My experience and hair transformation journey
The user improved their hair density and reduced scalp visibility by using 1% ketoconazole shampoo, 1mg finasteride, and 5% minoxidil, which increased their confidence. Replies discuss the effects of these treatments, with one clarifying that minoxidil does not affect hormones but finasteride does.
community For all those worried about a minoxidil break
Stopping minoxidil can lead to significant hair loss, but resuming it along with finasteride can help regain lost hair over time. Consistency is key for maintaining hair health and regrowth.
community Creatine is the opposite of minoxidil !
Creatine may counteract minoxidil's hair growth effects by closing potassium ATP channels, potentially leading to hair loss in predisposed individuals. Despite anecdotal reports, there is no conclusive evidence linking creatine to hair loss.
community The mechanism of androgenic alopecia
DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.
