5 / 1000+ resultscommunity My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
community My hair loss makes no sense I can't stand it
A user experienced severe hair loss after taking testosterone, despite using treatments like Dutasteride, RU58841, and Minoxidil. The user regrets taking testosterone, as it seems to have permanently increased sensitivity to DHT, accelerating hair loss.
community Some more realistic 15 months fin+min results. No loss, but also basically no growth. HT unfortunately seems like the only option left at this point :/
User shared 15-month results using finasteride and minoxidil, showing no loss but minimal growth, considering a hair transplant. Replies suggest starting treatment earlier, continuing current treatment, or getting a transplant.
community Topical is superior to oral in terms of results (my theory)
The conversation discusses the use of topical minoxidil and finasteride for hair loss, with some users combining them with oral treatments. Users share their experiences and opinions on effectiveness, cost, and convenience, with mixed views on whether topical or oral applications are superior.
community A bit over 3 months in, I am very thankful I found r/tressless, my self confidence is restored.
