The user tried topical minoxidil, topical and oral finasteride, and switched to dutasteride and oral minoxidil without success in stopping hair loss. Suggestions included continuing treatment longer, trying microneedling, and considering a hair transplant.
community Evaluate your progress with an objective tool
The post discusses using ImageJ software to objectively track hair regrowth progress. The user is treating Androgen alopecia with dutasteride and minoxidil.
community Is this true? It can be a major breakthrough
Deoxyribose sugar gel may stimulate hair regrowth similarly to minoxidil by enhancing blood supply and follicle activity. Human trials are necessary, and current products have mixed results.
community 6-months on Hims topical minoxidal and finasteride combination, and microneedling once every week or two. The before pic was taken with the front iphone camera so is lower resolution which makes a comparison hard, but perhaps seeing some minor gains in individual hairs thickening.
Using a combination of topical minoxidil and finasteride, plus microneedling, to treat hair loss; the progress made by the original poster over 6 months; the potential for further results with longer use; and the possibility of seeking alternatives such as a hair transplant or system.
community Sugar and Hair loss connections
High sugar diets may worsen hair loss by increasing 5α-reductase activity and androgen levels, especially in women with PCOS. A low sugar diet might reduce scalp DHT levels, similar to finasteride, but genetics also significantly influence hair loss.
