      community Is it true that most hair loss treatments fall into one of two categories? If not, what am I missing?

      in Treatment  4 upvotes 2 years ago
      Hair loss treatments are generally categorized as anti-androgens, like finasteride and RU58841, which prevent hair loss by targeting DHT, and growth stimulators, such as minoxidil, rosemary oil, microneedling, and LLLT, which promote hair growth by increasing blood flow and growth factors. The user is seeking to confirm these categories and understand if there are other treatments or mechanisms of action.
