5 / 1000+ resultscommunity A meta analysis of 18 popular hair loss treatments. An 2022 guide on efficacy. From finasteride and minoxidil to caffeine shampoo, saw palmetto and biotin. 96 Scientific References included.
Most hair loss treatments are ineffective; only finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil show effectiveness.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
community Red light therapy - research says they work, reviews say they don't - Turns out commercial device are severely under-powered, so could this actually work?
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of commercial Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) devices for hair growth, suggesting they are underpowered compared to the ideal energy output shown in medical research. A user plans to build a custom helmet that meets the required specifications for effective treatment.
community What was your “f*ck I’m balding” story?
User noticed thinning hair at 18-19, started finasteride at 22 and minoxidil at 24, with positive results. Others shared hair loss experiences and treatments, including finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplants.
community Crazy Journey (5 Difficult Years)
A user shared their hair restoration journey after a botched transplant, highlighting successful results with 8000 grafts and 5mg oral minoxidil, while choosing not to use finasteride due to potential side effects. The user reported no side effects from minoxidil, except for extra body hair, and expressed satisfaction with the current results.
