    substance or treatment that encourages hair follicle activity

    A Hair Growth Stimulant, also known as a Hair Growth Promoter or Hair Growth Enhancer, is a substance or treatment designed to encourage the growth of hair. These stimulants can include topical solutions like minoxidil, oral medications like finasteride, or natural remedies such as essential oils. They work by improving blood circulation to the scalp, prolonging the growth phase of hair follicles, or blocking hormones that cause hair loss.

      community Hair update 2 years after using Finasteride

      in Progress Pictures  587 upvotes 1 year ago
      The user shared a two-year hair regrowth update after using 1mg Finasteride daily and Minoxidil liquid once daily, with significant improvement and no side effects. Some users suggested adding derma rolling to the regimen, while others discussed the effectiveness of Finasteride alone before considering Minoxidil.

      community Nice product I discovered, thought I would share.

      A product that makes hair look thicker and healthier without promoting regrowth. Discussions include treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, red light therapy, and a serum with caffeine and peptides, with mixed effectiveness opinions.

      community Minoxidil can prevent hair follicle miniaturization!?

      in Minoxidil  6 upvotes 3 years ago
      Minoxidil can prevent hair follicle miniaturization, not just stimulate hair growth. Finasteride and dutasteride don't work for everyone, suggesting DHT may not be the sole cause of hair loss; hair loss could be due to multiple factors, including autoimmune conditions.
