Male androgenetic alopecia is commonly treated with topical minoxidil and oral finasteride, both requiring continuous use. Other options include hair restoration surgery, dutasteride, light therapy, and camouflaging agents.
community Why do people dismiss laser therapy quickly saying that it doesn’t have strong data yet happily apply microneedling which also lacks strong data
Microneedling is preferred over laser therapy for hair loss because it is cheaper and reportedly effective, especially with minoxidil. Laser therapy is seen as costly and less effective.
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 Occipitalis Muscle Tension Theory
Scalp tension from the occipitalis muscle is theorized to contribute to hair loss, but most believe DHT and genetics are the main causes. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are considered more effective than addressing scalp tension.
community Comprehensive Microneedling Guide
Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.
