Minoxidil is typically applied once daily, with some users opting for foam to minimize irritation. Users often combine it with finasteride or use oral minoxidil for improved results, while managing scalp irritation with ketoconazole or salicylic acid shampoos.
community I am a dermatologist with a clinical interest in alopecia. AMA
In this conversation, 4990 discussed various treatments for hair loss, including oral minoxidil, PRP, transplan, Jak inhibitors, Dutasteride, Finasteride, Olumiant, Ketoconazole, RU58841, microneedling, baricitinib, and CCCA. They recommended scalp biopsies in unclear cases of DUPA, twice weekly to twice daily shampooing for topical minoxidil users, and two sessions spaced one month apart with follow up at month three to determine the effectiveness of PRP treatment.
community Been doing daily 3% topical peppermint oil for 6+ months (never used minoxidil). Have had growth that seems as good as minoxidil. Might strenghten the idea that peppermint is a good low-cost treatment, that potentially works by another route than minoxidil.
The user has been using finasteride, nizoral, microneedling, and recently added 3% peppermint oil to their hair loss treatment, experiencing regrowth similar to minoxidil. They suggest peppermint oil as a potentially effective, low-cost alternative or addition to minoxidil, with the added benefit of a pleasant smell and ease of use.
community How much better is dut compared to fin?
Dutasteride is often more effective than finasteride for blocking DHT, but results vary and some may experience side effects. Combining minoxidil with either medication can improve hair regrowth, but switching doesn't guarantee better results for everyone.
community Why liposomal finasteride and minoxidil may be better than traditional topical solutions.
Liposomal formulations of finasteride and minoxidil may enhance drug delivery to the skin and hair follicles more effectively than traditional solutions, potentially improving treatment outcomes. However, more human clinical trials are needed to confirm these benefits.
