    TLDR Finasteride effectively slowed hair loss and promoted hair growth in Taiwanese men with AGA.
    An open-label study evaluated the efficacy and safety of finasteride 1 mg/day in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in 34 Taiwanese men aged 18-40 years. After 12 months, 23.8% of participants showed a two-grade improvement in the modified Norwood/Hamilton scale, and 57.1% showed a one-grade improvement. Hair growth was observed in 15.1% of subjects at 6 months and 52.4% at 12 months. Patient self-assessment indicated increased satisfaction with hair growth, with 42.9% satisfied with their appearance at 12 months. Serum prostate specific antigen levels decreased by 23.4%, and adverse effects were minimal, with no established causal relationship to finasteride. The study concluded that finasteride effectively slowed hair loss progression and promoted hair growth in Taiwanese men with AGA.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      A user added sandalore to minoxidil for hair loss, observing some vellus hair growth and less scalp inflammation. Others tried sandalore with mixed results, discussing dosage and effectiveness compared to minoxidil and finasteride.

      community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  141 upvotes 2 years ago
      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
