The brain resists updating its perception of gradual appearance changes, like hair loss, due to its preference for stability and reliance on an internal model. This delay in perception can make changes feel sudden once the brain finally updates its model.
community DHT and 5AR respect post, it's importance within the brain
The conversation discusses whether to use finasteride for hair loss, considering its role in inhibiting DHT and 5AR, which can affect brain function and mood. Some users report anxiety and depression from finasteride, while others do not experience these side effects and emphasize the importance of DHT for brain and prostate health.
community PP405 - hair stem cell stimulation
PP405, a topical LDH inhibitor, has shown to stimulate hair follicle stem cell proliferation in humans with moderate hair loss. They are advancing to more detailed trials this year.
community blood flow and scalp tension - put up or shut up
The conversation discusses skepticism about the effectiveness of scalp tension theory and scalp massagers for hair regrowth, contrasting it with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, which have more user-reported results. Participants question the belief in scalp tension theory, suggesting it may be a marketing tactic, while others argue for a multifactorial approach to hair loss.
community questions regarding topical finasteride
The conversation discusses the potential effectiveness and risks of using topical finasteride for hair loss, with considerations about using DMSO as a vehicle for application. Concerns are raised about DMSO's safety, absorption issues, and the systemic effects of topical finasteride.
