5 / 95 resultscommunity A 2005 Hairloss Forum Describing How Close We Are To A Cure
Hair loss treatments like dutasteride, finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841 are discussed, with mixed results and ongoing hope for better solutions. Users express skepticism about a cure, sharing experiences with various treatments and lifestyle changes.
community Does RU58841 potentially cause cancer?
RU58841 may pose cancer risks due to its antiandrogen properties and lack of long-term safety data. Using it is considered a high-risk experiment with unknown potential for harm.
community Topical Saw Palmetto: An Alternative to Microdosing Topical Finasteride?
The user is exploring topical Saw Palmetto as a milder alternative to microdosing topical Finasteride for hair loss, aiming to minimize systemic DHT impact. They plan to experiment with this herbal remedy for a year to assess its effectiveness on their mild androgenetic alopecia without significant side effects.
community DHEA, the culprit behind DUPA ? Read this!
High DHEA levels may contribute to hair loss by increasing DHT in hair follicles, potentially explaining why finasteride is ineffective for some. Treatments like high-dose dutasteride and RU58841 are suggested, but the underlying cause, such as adrenal issues, should be investigated.
community A Theory on Why Microneedling Works
Microneedling may enhance hair regrowth by transferring stem cells to dormant follicles, improving the effects of minoxidil. Users discuss using microneedling with needle lengths around 1.5mm to stimulate hair growth.
