So up guys, Derek and more pleadsmartius.com. Today we're going to be talking about

why you would still be losing hair while using monoxidyl. So for some reason, people think

monoxidyl is, well it's not for some reason. A lot of people just don't understand how it works

is the main problem. So getting to the root of the mechanism of action is something that nobody really does when it comes to drugs

they just assume oh you know a doctor said take monoxidil for thinning hair so therefore this is

you know sufficient for hair loss prevention because the FDA has approved it as such and it's

while minoxidil can encourage hair growth via its underlying mechanism which is vasodilation essentially

it does absolutely nothing to combat androgens themselves so androgen receptor activation is what

mediates this cascade of events that eventually leads to the miniaturization of the hair follicle.

If you've seen my other content, you've already seen me, you know, talk about this,

this subject many, many times now.

Using a growth agonist like minoxidil absolutely does nothing to prevent further loss.

All it does is essentially improves your rate of growth,

which cosmetically may offset the visual loss of density

and or recession that you would otherwise get

if you were doing absolutely nothing.

But at the end of the day,

even if you are increasing your rate of growth, your rate of loss is still exactly the same.

You're not going to prevent androgens from miniaturizing hair follicles unless you do something to deal with

androgen receptor activation or some other mechanism that has to do with the metabolites such as five alpha reduction or something along those lines

that has to do with actual dealing with the problem itself not just boosting your growth rate

and encouraging you know healthier growth and whatnot is good but it's not the priority the priority
