5 / 154 resultscommunity The Real Reason For Hair Loss?
Hair loss is linked to scalp fibrosis and tension, which result from chronic mechanical stress and androgenic signaling. Treatments include blocking androgens with finasteride, promoting hair growth with topical minoxidil, and improving scalp mobility through exercises.
community Creatine is the opposite of minoxidil !
Creatine may counteract minoxidil's hair growth effects by closing potassium ATP channels, potentially leading to hair loss in predisposed individuals. Despite anecdotal reports, there is no conclusive evidence linking creatine to hair loss.
community Why do patients drop back to baseline/pre-treatment soon after quitting Finasteride?
Stopping finasteride often leads to rapid hair loss, returning to a genetic baseline, as the drug temporarily halts hair loss and promotes regrowth. The discussion explores the complexity of hair loss, suggesting that factors beyond DHT, such as genetics and scalp conditions, may play a role.
