Which hair loss treatments actually stop hair loss?
In this discussion, Derek from More Plates More Dates breaks down which treatments truly halt androgenetic alopecia and which ones only stimulate cosmetic regrowth. This is not just a list of options. It is a physiological explanation of how DHT suppression differs from growth stimulation and why that distinction matters.
Many men use minoxidil and assume they are preventing further loss. In reality, stimulating hair growth is not the same as stopping DHT-driven follicle miniaturization. Derek explains how treatments like ketoconazole shampoo, minoxidil, finasteride, dutasteride, microneedling, and adjunct therapies fit into a complete protocol and what each one actually does at the scalp level.
In this video, Derek explains:
• Which treatments actually stop DHT-driven hair loss
• Why minoxidil alone does not prevent progression
• How finasteride and dutasteride reduce DHT
• The difference between growth stimulation and androgen suppression
• Oral vs topical considerations
• Why early, proactive intervention changes long-term outcomes
