Hair regrowth and gender transition using finasteride, estrogen, and spironolactone. Significant hair regrowth and personal transformation were achieved through hormone replacement therapy.

community Why do some people (specially those with diffuse balding) experience more regrowth just with DHT blockers?

in Chat 41 upvotes 1 year ago

Diffuse thinners often experience more hair regrowth with DHT blockers like finasteride, possibly due to less DHT sensitivity and the presence of miniaturized, not completely bald, follicles. However, regrowth varies widely among individuals, influenced by factors like genetics, the stage of hair loss, and treatment methods such as minoxidil, microneedling, and dermarolling.

community Finasteride can revive up to 7 year old dead hair

in Research/Science 188 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride and minoxidil can revive hair dormant for up to 7 years, with microneedling enhancing regrowth. Users report significant hair regrowth even after long periods of baldness.

community 2.5mg Dut/RU/minoxidil can't counter 15mg Testosterone..

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 6 upvotes 1 year ago

Despite using Dutasteride, RU58841, and Minoxidil, hair loss continues due to low testosterone levels from taking 15mg of testosterone weekly, which may not produce enough estrogen. Increasing testosterone dosage and stabilizing hormone levels might help address the issue.

natural substance from Neem tree with medicinal and pesticidal properties

learn Overview

learn Cyproterone

Is cyproterone safe to use during gender transition? Regulators and a large French cohort study link higher-dose, long-term cyproterone acetate to meningioma, and its label also lists liver-enzyme and mood effects — so it is not a drug anyone should call safe in the abstract, and its use in gender-affirming care is a prescriber's decision with monitoring.

learn Hair Transplant

How does FUE differ from traditional hair transplant methods? FUE uses individual follicle extraction for less scarring and quicker recovery than traditional methods.

learn Setipiprant

Can Setipiprant be used safely by women or people undergoing gender transition? Setipiprant's safety for women and those in transition is not well-studied.

learn Thymosin Beta 4

What role does Thymosin Beta 4 play in scalp biology compared to traditional hair loss treatments? Thymosin Beta 4 may enhance scalp biology but lacks extensive clinical validation compared to traditional treatments.

learn Valproic acid

How is valproic acid being explored differently in topical hair products compared to its traditional oral medical use? Topical valproic acid is being studied for local effects on the hair follicle rather than the whole-body effects of the oral drug. The human evidence is one small randomized 24-week trial of an 8.3% spray; no topical valproate product is approved for hair loss.
