      community New Study For LLLT > Minoxidil

      in Research/Science  7 upvotes 8 months ago
      LLLT (low-level laser therapy) is as effective or better than traditional minoxidil treatment for hair growth, with fewer side effects and improved long-term compliance due to milder adverse effects. Studies show LLLT increases hair density more than minoxidil, but drawbacks include the initial cost and the need for long-term use to see results.

      community What else is good. Besides the big 3.

      Key treatments for hair preservation include minoxidil, finasteride/dutasteride, and microneedling, with additional options like specific shampoos, oils, biotin, zinc, tretinoin, clascoterone, and low-level laser therapy. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reducing stress, and addressing nutrient deficiencies can also support hair health.
