5 / 79 resultscommunity The day they make a pill that only targets DHT production in the scalp
Reducing DHT in the scalp is ideal for hair retention, with topical finasteride and dutasteride being common treatments. Some users report side effects like reduced libido, while others experiment with higher doses for regrowth.
community Why hasn’t anybody or any company done experiments on whether minoxidil and finasteride have effects on human collagen and elastin after a year of use compared to placebo? (In vivo not vitro)
The conversation discusses the lack of in vivo studies on the effects of minoxidil and finasteride on human collagen and elastin after a year of use. It highlights the potential benefits of such research for understanding side effects and improving sales, despite challenges like cost and competition.
community Anybody else notice improved skin/collagen on Dutasteride
User switched from finasteride to combination dutasteride and finasteride for hair density improvement. They noticed less hair shedding and more youthful skin, with a reply suggesting less DHT could increase elastin in skin.
community microneedle, any long term users damage?
Microneedling is effective for hair growth, especially when combined with finasteride and minoxidil, but concerns exist about potential long-term skin damage. Users report increased collagen and elastin deposition, but the long-term effects on the scalp remain uncertain.
community Deep wrinkles in last year since starting oral minoxidil? Anyone else?
A user noticed deeper facial wrinkles since starting oral minoxidil in February 2023 and is concerned about its effects on collagen production. Other factors include past accutane use, high stress, poor sleep, and COVID-19.
