The brain resists updating its perception of gradual appearance changes, like hair loss, due to its preference for stability and reliance on an internal model. This delay in perception can make changes feel sudden once the brain finally updates its model.
community Does CosmeRNA target the root cause of MPB?
.
CumsOnYourFeet69 has been discussing a new treatment called CosmeRNA which claims to target the root cause of male pattern baldness, and is considering using it in conjunction with Minoxidil instead of Finasteride due to possible side effects. Replies have highlighted that the efficacy of this treatment is still unknown, but it could be used as an effective maintenance option if successful.
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 Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism
Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.
community Minoxidil Response Bottlenecks: Why Sulfation and Transport Matter (And Where Tretinoin Fits In)
Minoxidil's effectiveness is limited by the need for sulfation and proper transport to hair follicles, with tretinoin potentially enhancing its effects by promoting enzyme activity and keratinocyte differentiation. Tretinoin may improve minoxidil's response by boosting the expression of necessary enzymes and transporters.
