5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Study Shows That Oral Minoxidil Is Not Only Good At Improving Hair But Also Reducing Arterial Stiffness And Preventing Other Health Problems
Oral minoxidil may improve hair growth, reduce arterial stiffness, and prevent other health issues. Some users believe it is an effective treatment despite concerns about its effects on skin and blood.
community Minoxidil inhibits lysyl hydroxylase which is needed to produce collagen. If I take 2,5...5 mg of minoxidil every day can I cause my skin to age prematurely?
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss and unlikely to significantly affect collagen synthesis, making it a safe option without causing premature skin aging. Users report positive hair regrowth without noticeable skin aging.
community Minoxidil actually reduces wrinkles
Minoxidil may improve or worsen skin quality, with topical forms causing dryness and wrinkles, possibly due to alcohol content, while oral forms have fewer side effects. Some users consider using tretinoin to mitigate negative effects.
community oral hyaluronic acid supplements?
Oral hyaluronic acid is not beneficial for hair, as it gets broken down in the stomach and has no strong evidence supporting its effectiveness. The user is taking finasteride, dutasteride, and topical minoxidil for hair loss, but combining finasteride and dutasteride is considered redundant.
community Baldness Breakthrough: microRNA Stimulates Hair Growth in Aging Follicles
miR-205, a tiny RNA, can stimulate hair growth by softening aging hair follicle stem cells in mice. Future tests aim to see if this can work in humans.
