5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Early Signs - Notes for diffuse thinners
Diffuse thinning is often due to androgenetic alopecia, and DHT blockers like finasteride are recommended. Treatments mentioned include minoxidil, finasteride, dutasteride, and RU58841, with emphasis on starting early and using a holistic approach.
community 6 Months in. Stick with it Fin? Or switch to Dut?
A 36-year-old man has been using oral finasteride and minoxidil for six months and is considering switching to dutasteride due to concerns about shedding and lack of response. Users suggest continuing with finasteride, trying micro-needling, or cautiously adding dutasteride while monitoring for side effects.
community 1000's of new tiny white hairs
The user observed new tiny white hairs after 12 days of using minoxidil, finasteride, microneedling, and biotin, hoping they will become terminal hairs. Others advise that while some hairs may not fully grow, consistent treatment, patience, and scalp massages could enhance results.
community Can someone explain the science behind why Finasteride doesn't stop you from losing regrown hairs from minoxidil?
Finasteride prevents further hair loss by blocking DHT, while minoxidil stimulates hair growth by prolonging the active phase of hair follicles. Stopping minoxidil can lead to loss of regrown hair because finasteride does not address the same growth mechanism.
community People are misunderstanding PP405. 31% response at 8 weeks is better than you think
PP405 shows promise as a hair loss treatment, with 31% experiencing increased hair density in a short trial. It may complement treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, but long-term effectiveness and safety need confirmation.
