5 / 494 resultscommunity Turning vellus hairs into terminal hair
People are discussing hair loss treatments, including minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, to turn vellus hairs into terminal hairs. Some users also mention using antibiotics, oral minoxidil, dutasteride, DHT blockers, biotin, and natural remedies like onion juice and seeds to improve hair growth.
community Why don't Minoxidil regenerated hairs become terminal on the head?
Minoxidil helps hair growth by increasing blood flow and prolonging the growth phase, but it doesn't address the root cause of hair loss, such as DHT sensitivity. Finasteride can help maintain some gains by blocking DHT, but stopping Minoxidil often leads to hair loss because the new hairs are dependent on it.
community drinking topical minoxidil – extreme hair growth everywhere
At this point.
In this conversation, users discussed the risks of drinking topical minoxidil and suggested alternative treatments such as obtaining a prescription for oral minoxidil or finasteride.
community Please explain this Minoxidil phenomena
The post discusses the difference in effects of Minoxidil (Min) on scalp and facial hair. The user questions why Min-induced hair growth on the scalp is temporary, while facial hair growth seems permanent, even after stopping Min. They propose theories, including different Min mechanisms on body and facial hair, the role of DHT, and the possibility of not achieving fully terminal hair. The responses include personal experiences and theories about Min's effects on hair growth.
community New Hair Loss Treatment: Adipose Derived Secretomes
Adipose-derived stem cell secretome showed significant improvement in hair density and growth, especially when combined with minoxidil, suggesting a synergistic effect. The study had limitations, including a small sample size and potential bias.
