Fish-derived collagen may help hair grow longer and affect hair stem cells, while bovine collagen could benefit hair stem cell maintenance, potentially aiding in hair loss conditions.
A 31-year-old male shared his 3-year progress using finasteride 1 mg daily, with additional treatments including nutrafol, multivitamins, vitamin D, marinecollagen, PRP scalp injections, micro-needling, and Nizoral. He experienced temporary libido issues but currently has no side effects.
A user shared their positive experience with a hair transplant at Wimpole Clinic, performed by Dr. Malkani, and discussed using finasteride at a reduced dose due to side effects. They also mentioned avoiding minoxidil due to heart pain and taking supplements like biotin, marinecollagen, viviscal, and krill oil.
Collagen peptides are recommended for hair and skin benefits, with users noting improvements in hair and skin health. However, evidence on their effectiveness for hair growth is inconclusive.
The user has been experiencing aggressive hair loss despite using finasteride, minoxidil, dutasteride, ketoconazole, and derma rolling. Suggestions include continuing current treatments, considering RU58841, checking for deficiencies, and possibly trying collagen supplements or oral minoxidil.
The user had a hair transplant and uses oral minoxidil, a red laser therapy helmet, fish oil, collagen, and sardines for hair thinning but avoids finasteride due to side effect concerns. Many suggest these methods may not be effective long-term without a DHT blocker.
