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.
community Finasteride is a risk in pregnancy with unprotected sex
