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 Quit vaping/smoking = 80% less loss
Quitting vaping significantly reduced hair loss for a user who was a heavy vaper and also taking finasteride. Some participants suggest nicotine's vasoconstrictive properties may worsen hair loss, while others share personal anecdotes of hair improvement after quitting smoking or vaping.
community TWIST-1 and the cure: Is it really that easy?
TWIST-1 gene's role in hair loss and potential as a treatment target. Inhibiting TWIST-1 may prolong hair growth and reduce hair follicle sensitivity to DHT.
community How is it possible for someone to be a non responder to ORAL minoxidil?
Some individuals do not respond to oral minoxidil for hair loss, despite it generally working by improving blood flow to hair follicles. Factors like metabolism, drug interactions, and individual variations in the drug's activation may influence its effectiveness.
community never give up (19 to 21 years old)
The conversation is about a person recovering from drug-induced malnourishment, regaining hair growth, and improving overall health. They attribute their progress to stopping drug use, focusing on nutrition, and possibly using hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
