5 / 48 resultscommunity Genetic testing to determine individualized hairloss treatment?
A user discusses a company, Roots by Genetic Arts, that offers a genetic test for hair loss to create personalized treatments, and is curious about its legitimacy and the science behind it. The company tests 16 genes related to hair loss and compounds a topical treatment based on the results.
community How is it possible for someone to be a non responder to ORAL minoxidil?
Some individuals do not respond to oral minoxidil for hair loss, despite it generally working by improving blood flow to hair follicles. Factors like metabolism, drug interactions, and individual variations in the drug's activation may influence its effectiveness.
community Dutasteride might be better for your hairline. Some people have more type 1 5AR activity in their scalp than others.
Dutasteride might be better for hairline due to varying levels of 5AR activity in scalps. Genetic tests can determine if finasteride is enough or if dutasteride is needed.
community Oral min vs topical comparison
Oral minoxidil is claimed to be more effective and easier to use than topical minoxidil, with a 100% response rate, but it may cause unwanted body hair growth and has potential heart-related side effects. Topical minoxidil is less effective for many due to enzyme limitations, can cause scalp issues, and is more challenging to apply, but it avoids systemic side effects.
community ~3 month update min/fin/dermaroll
The user reports hair growth improvements after using topical minoxidil, oral finasteride, and weekly dermarolling for about three months, but is experiencing dandruff, possibly due to the minoxidil.
