Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss but can cause cardiovascular side effects, such as pericardial effusion, especially in those with genetic predispositions. Starting with low doses and monitoring cardiovascular health are advised to reduce risks.
community Got a microscope camera. Here’s the difference between healthy and miniaturized hair
A user who shared progress pictures of their scalp using a microscope camera, demonstrating the difference between healthy and miniaturized hair. Various explanations for the cause of this were discussed, such as DHT build-up in scalp sebum causing an autoimmune response leading to inflammation and eventual hair loss, with some suggesting a do-it-yourself treatment involving adding ascorbic acid powder to shampoo.
community i got more results 1 month 5 mg oral minoxidil and 1 mg dutasteride then i did 6 months on finasteride and topical minoxidil
A user reported better hair regrowth with 5 mg oral minoxidil and 1 mg dutasteride than with finasteride and topical minoxidil, calling topical minoxidil a scam. Replies varied, with some defending topical minoxidil, questioning the user's application method, and suggesting that previous treatments might be contributing to the observed results.
community Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to work in the scalp. Not weeks. Be careful.
Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to affect scalp DHT levels, not just a week. The prostate absorbs Dutasteride faster than the scalp due to different vascular networks and enzyme densities.
community 2 years later I managed to gain some ground (Hyperresponder)
The user regained most of their hair using Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Dermarolling. They found Dermarolling particularly effective, as it promotes growth factors and improves hair thickness.
