      community Why do some people (specially those with diffuse balding) experience more regrowth just with DHT blockers?

      in Chat  41 upvotes 9 months ago

However, regrowth varies widely among individuals, influenced by factors like genetics, the stage of hair loss, and treatment methods such as minoxidil, microneedling, and dermarolling.
