community Fin/min/microneedling ~9 months – no results, actually worse
User harlital shared their 9-month hair loss journey using finasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling but experienced worse results. Commenters suggested patience, checking for other causes, and considering dutasteride after 12-24 months if no improvement.
community Someone had success with Stemoxydine and microneedling ?
Treatments for hair loss, such as finasteride and minoxidil, as well as alternatives like stemoxydine and microneedling.
community What About Phytosterol Alternatives - Rice Bran Oil - Natural DHT Blockers
The conversation discusses natural DHT blockers like rice bran oil, which may reduce 5α-reductase activity similarly to Minoxidil and Dutasteride. One user argues that finasteride is more reliable and effective than natural alternatives.
