community Scientists have uncovered a simple way to cure hair loss – as incredible before–and–after photos show the results in just 8 weeks

in Research/Science 283 upvotes 11 months ago

Scientists claim a combination of caffeine, two proteins, and Centella asiatica extracts can cure hair loss, but skepticism remains due to past unfulfilled promises. Users discuss various treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and microneedling, expressing doubt about the effectiveness of new methods.

community scientific evidence of the effect of minoxidil on collagen synthesis

in Minoxidil 3 upvotes 11 months ago

community Scientists May Have Accidentally Found a Way to Reverse Hair Loss Without Drugs

877 upvotes 1 year ago

2-deoxy-D-ribose is being explored as a hair loss treatment but is not proven effective in humans and may be costly and inconvenient. Minoxidil remains the most effective treatment.

community Science backed answer only from what you have learnt .

5 upvotes 1 year ago

Alcohol-based minoxidil absorbs better but can cause irritation; non-alcohol-based is gentler. Topical dutasteride shows promise but needs more research; low-dose oral minoxidil (0.25 mg/day) is effective with fewer side effects. Ingredients like Procapil, Redensyl, caffeine, and Anagain in shampoos have limited evidence; ketoconazole shampoo can help when used 2-3 times a week with other treatments.

community Scientists have found that a naturally occurring sugar in humans and animals could be used as a topical treatment for male pattern baldness | In the study, mice received 2dDR-SA gel for 21 days, resulting in greater number of blood vessels and an increase in hair follicle length and denseness

644 upvotes 2 years ago

Scientists discovered a sugar gel, 2dDR-SA, that increased hair growth in mice. Users discussed its potential, comparing it to other treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
