A 25-year-old man has been using topical minoxidil 5%, oral finasteride 1mg, and microneedling for hair loss treatment for 14, 9, and 8 weeks respectively. He experienced watery semen after starting finasteride, but it normalized after a few days with no other side effects.
A 26-year-old individual treating hair loss since 19, using a regimen of Finasteride, Cyproterone, Oral Minoxidil, Microneedling, Dutasteride, and newly added RU58841. They're seeking advice from other RU58841 users about their experiences.
After 8 months of using topical finasteride, hair miniaturization continues, raising concerns about its effectiveness. Microneedling is suggested as a possible complementary treatment.
A user suggests that deeper microneedling with Verteporfin injections might help regrow hair in areas with scar tissue, alongside a DHT blocker. Another user explains that hair loss might be due to reduced Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and suggests that treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling could potentially reverse it.
MinoxidilMax stopped selling topical finasteride products, leaving users to seek alternatives like Morr-5 from other sources. The user expressed concern about switching products and potentially losing hair regrowth progress.
Treatments for hair loss, such as topical minoxidil, platelet-rich plasma therapy with or without minoxidil, ketoconazole, non-abative radio frequency, natural products, finasteride and cortexolone 17 alpha propionate. The post evaluates the efficacy and safety of these treatments in various studies.
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of using finasteride alone versus combining it with minoxidil, ketoconazole, and microneedling for hair loss treatment. It also touches on the affordability and accessibility of hair transplants, with differing opinions on the financial feasibility of such procedures.
The user has been using finasteride for 8 years and started using minoxidil foam 5% twice daily with micro-needling since May 2025. They experienced significant shedding starting in July and are seeking information on how long the shedding will last and when to expect positive results.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, including the use of 2.5mg Dutasteride, 1mg Finasteride, and Minoxidil 5%, with concerns about side effects like water retention and facial changes. The user is considering alternative Minoxidil applications, such as microneedling and sublingual Minoxidil, to minimize side effects.
The user started using Hims Finasteride and Minoxidil topical in July 2023, added daily microneedling in November, and switched to chewable Finasteride and Minoxidil in January with increased microneedling frequency. They observed hair regrowth, suggesting diffuse thinning may be easier to treat.
A potential non-invasive topical treatment targeting the WNT Signaling Pathway for hair regeneration is being researched, with positive results on human hair follicle cells. Current effective treatments for hair loss include Minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplantation.
RU58841 is discussed as a hair loss treatment, with concerns about its effectiveness diminishing after two years due to androgen receptor upregulation. The user is hesitant to start using it, fearing it may worsen their condition over time.
The user cannot tolerate oral finasteride and is considering topical finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, and RU58841 as alternative treatments for hair loss. They seek advice on whether these options are worth trying.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, specifically oral Minoxidil, also known as Loniten or Alotendin in Bulgaria. It also mentions considering IndiaMart for purchasing options.
FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
The user is discussing hair regrowth after 7 months of using topical minoxidil and RU58841, with some microneedling. They are hesitant to switch to finasteride or dutasteride and are seeking input on whether there is new growth or just more miniaturization.
Using Megatek with minoxidil significantly increases hair growth, especially vellus hairs, but is less effective alone. Biotin and ketoconazole shampoo are also used to support hair health.
A 32-year-old is using finasteride, oral and topical minoxidil, microneedling, and keto shampoo to treat hair loss, noticing healthier hair and new tiny hairs on previously bald areas. They are hopeful for more visible results in the coming months and encourage others to try the treatment.
Hair care products for those using minox, keto, fin, and microneedling are discussed. Nizoral 2%, Revita shampoo, Nioxin system 2, Aveda thickening tonic, Hanz De Fuko Claymation, and Morrocanoil Texture Clay are mentioned as options.
The user has been using oral finasteride and minoxidil for hair loss but hasn't seen improvement and is considering switching to dutasteride or RU58841. They plan to start microneedling for better results.
The conversation is about different treatments for hair loss, including minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, and dermarolling. The conclusion is that RU58841 and dermarolling have shown efficacy in treating hair loss through different pathways.
RU58841 is discussed as a potential hair loss treatment, with comparisons to finasteride. There is interest in leaked trial data, but no official clinical validation or approval for RU58841.
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.
The user shared progress pictures after 5 weeks of using 5% topical minoxidil, scalp massages, and microneedling for hair loss. They are considering adding finasteride but have decided to wait a few more weeks.
New product Tomorrowlabs HSF targets hair loss through HIF pathway indirectly by removing scalp iron. Minoxidil and Stemoxydine also relate to HIF pathway.
RU and Pyri block androgen receptors to prevent hair loss but may also hinder hair regrowth since they prevent testosterone, which can stimulate hair growth, from binding to these receptors. The user is questioning if this understanding is correct.
