5 / 99 resultscommunity My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
community Is Retinol effective by itself?
Retinol is not effective alone for hair loss; tretinoin is more potent and sometimes mixed with minoxidil. Retinoids do not stop hair loss, and finasteride or dutasteride is necessary for that.
community With studies showing that 0.2mg Finasteride is almost as effective as 5mg at reducing DHT, why is every doctor prescribing 1mg?
Finasteride is prescribed at 1mg because it is FDA-approved and proven effective, despite evidence that 0.2mg may similarly reduce DHT. The 1mg dose is more effective for hair growth, and lower doses are less available.
community No fearmongering /just facts on yesterday someone posting on eye issues
Finasteride and dutasteride may not significantly impact meibomian gland function since these glands do not rely on DHT. Some users report dry eyes and other side effects from finasteride, but these may be influenced by other factors or medications.
community Does going to the gym really cause hair loss?
Exercise temporarily increases DHT levels, but this is unlikely to cause significant hair loss. Finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments to manage hair loss.
