Procapil is marketed as a natural hair loss treatment but lacks strong evidence and is industry-biased. Minoxidil and Finasteride are the only FDA-approved treatments for androgenetic alopecia.
community UPDATE: The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!
Hair loss theory involves 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (3AHD) converting DHT to androstenol. Discussion explores potential treatments and encourages more research.
community blood flow and scalp tension - put up or shut up
The conversation discusses skepticism about the effectiveness of scalp tension theory and scalp massagers for hair regrowth, contrasting it with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, which have more user-reported results. Participants question the belief in scalp tension theory, suggesting it may be a marketing tactic, while others argue for a multifactorial approach to hair loss.
community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?
The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
community Why only the top of the head?!
Why the top of the head is affected by hair loss more than other areas, and treatments such as surgery, medications like minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 to treat it.
