community Can hair thinning be reversed?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 36 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation is about the effectiveness of Dutasteride (Dut) and Minoxidil (Min) in reversing hair thinning. The user has been using Dut for 3 months and Min for a couple of years, and while hair fall has reduced, thinning continues. Other users suggest that Dut can reverse hair thinning over time, possibly beyond a year, and the outcome depends on individual body reactions and the degree of hair miniaturization.

learn zinc PCA

Can a zinc deficiency directly cause hair thinning or increased shedding? Studies link low serum zinc to diffuse shedding and alopecia areata, and severe deficiency states cause hair loss that reverses when zinc is replaced. The evidence is mostly observational, the one supplementation study was small and uncontrolled, and zinc is not a treatment for pattern hair loss.
