5 / 29 resultscommunity NBC News: Finasteride is increasingly being prescribed even before baldness begins
Finasteride is increasingly prescribed to young men to prevent hair loss, with many users expressing regret for not starting sooner. The conversation highlights the preference for Finasteride, Dutasteride, and Minoxidil over other treatments.
community The ending of alopecia? Corticosterone inhibits GAS6 to govern hair follicle stem-cell quiescence
Corticosterone inhibits GAS6, affecting hair follicle stem-cell activity, with potential implications for stress-related hair loss. Ashwagandha and Vitamin K are suggested for reducing cortisol, but their effectiveness is debated.
community Still not sure why men think diet has nothing to do with hair loss when scientific is quite the opposite [Link]
Diet can influence hair health, but male pattern baldness (MPB) is primarily genetic. Treatments discussed include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community Why does finasteride stop working?
Finasteride may seem less effective over time due to increased DHT sensitivity or aging, but it still suppresses DHT. Switching to dutasteride offers stronger DHT suppression but may increase estrogen levels.
community So we have 20k dollars human like machines available but no new effective treatment for hairloss since finasteride :)
There have been no new effective hair loss treatments since finasteride, despite technological advancements. Current treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841, with ongoing challenges and potential future solutions in research.
