Mixing minoxidil and stemoxydine is not recommended due to potential dilution and reduced effectiveness. Applying them separately with a time gap is suggested.
Taking curcumin, omega-3 fish oil, vitamin D, and theaflavin supplements significantly reduced hair fall. The user suggests others try these supplements and report their results.
The conversation discusses using GHK-Cu, C60, and saw palmetto oil as treatments for hair loss. Specific treatments mentioned include Minoxidil (Min), Finasteride (Fin), and RU58841 (RU).
A user shared progress pictures after 4 months of using topical finasteride and minoxidil, dutasteride, rosemary oil shampoo, ketoconazole, and pumpkin seed oil, reporting great results and increased hair thickness. Other users commented on the mild initial hair loss and congratulated the user on their success.
Beta-sitosterol may inhibit 5-alpha reductase type 2 enzyme, potentially reducing DHT levels and promoting hair growth, similar to finasteride but possibly with fewer side effects. Its effectiveness and side effects compared to other treatments like saw palmetto and finasteride remain uncertain due to limited research.
A 33-year-old male has been using topical dutasteride and minoxidil twice daily, along with a 0.25 mm derma roller every five days, and is experiencing hair shedding but seeing progress. Some users suspect a hair transplant, while others praise the results.
RU58841 powder is mixed with a 70% ethanol and 30% propylene glycol solution, with some users seeking PG-free alternatives. Minoxidil is also mentioned as a treatment option.
Clascoterone, a topical anti-androgen, is generating interest for potentially fewer systemic side effects. Users are curious about its effectiveness and details like concentration and duration of use.
Clascoterone solution is in Phase III trials for male androgenetic alopecia, with results expected in the second half of 2025. Commercialization is anticipated in about 2-3 years, but there are concerns about delays and market expectations.
