5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Sunlight: Does it Stimulate Hair Growth or Hair Loss?
The conversation discusses whether sunlight exposure affects hair growth or loss, with mixed anecdotes and theories but no clear consensus. Some suggest moderate sunlight can benefit hair by providing vitamin D, while others doubt its effectiveness compared to treatments like Minoxidil or finasteride.
community Is the “crunching” sound during microneedling my scalp actually the needles cutting through hair?
The "crunching" sound during microneedling is likely the needles penetrating the scalp's outer layers, not cutting hair. Users suggest using a derma stamp instead of a roller to avoid potential hair damage.
community Concerned about my child’s lack of density. Microneedling help?
A user humorously discusses their 10-month-old's hair loss, suggesting treatments like microneedling, minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. Replies include various satirical and exaggerated suggestions, emphasizing the post's satirical nature.
community 33 M - 3 months on Topical Fin, Topical Min 5%, Saw Palmetto and scalp massages
The conversation discusses a 33-year-old man's experience with hair regrowth after three months using topical finasteride, 5% minoxidil, saw palmetto, and scalp massages. Specific treatments for hair loss are being evaluated for their effectiveness.
community Why are low finasteride doses seen as highly ineffective, when studies show 0.05 mg/day to work?
The efficacy of low doses of finasteride to reduce scalp DHT, and whether studies showing a 61% reduction are reflected in actual results. Replies discussed hair growth as an unintended consequence of minoxidil and finasteride use, as well as self-selective bias, potential side effects, and that studies measure effectiveness by hair count changes rather than DHT inhibition.
