research Minoxidil Improves Vascular Compliance, Restores Cerebral Blood Flow, and Alters Extracellular Matrix Gene Expression in a Model of Chronic Vascular Stiffness
Minoxidil improves blood flow and vessel flexibility, potentially helping with vascular stiffness.
research Androgenetic Alopecia Is Associated With Increased Arterial Stiffness in Asymptomatic Young Adults
Young adults with hair loss face higher risk of stiff arteries.
research Dihydrotestosterone Induces Arterial Stiffening in Female Mice
Dihydrotestosterone makes arteries stiffer in female mice by reducing estrogen receptor expression.
research Correlation of Carotid Intima Media Thickness and Aortic Stiffness Index with Androgenetic Alopecia
Men with severe hair loss may have a higher risk of heart disease.

The user started using finasteride, minoxidil, and biotin for male pattern baldness (MPB) and is experiencing rapid thinning. They are questioning if low blood flow to the head could be contributing to their hair loss.
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 Proposed new pathogenesis model for androgenetic alopecia (AGA)
The conversation discusses a new model for understanding androgenetic alopecia (AGA), linking it to dietary and lifestyle factors similar to PCOS, and highlighting the role of DHT, vascular damage, and inflammation. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community Polydopamine Synergizes with Quercetin Nanosystem to Reshape the Perifollicular Microenvironment for Accelerating Hair Regrowth in Androgenetic Alopecia.
A quercetin-encapsulated and polydopamine-integrated nanosystem (PDA@QLipo) shows promise for treating androgenetic alopecia by reshaping the perifollicular microenvironment, outperforming minoxidil in hair regeneration. The nanosystem promotes cell proliferation, hair follicle renewal, and recovery by scavenging reactive oxygen species and enhancing neovascularity.
community How to Switch from Finasteride to Dutasteride according to literature.
Switching from finasteride to dutasteride involves gradually increasing dutasteride while decreasing finasteride. Studies show dutasteride 0.5 mg daily can improve hair density in men unresponsive to finasteride.
