- Before committing to a peptide protocol, understanding how sermorelin compares to established hair-restoration treatments matters—especially when most people considering sermorelin don't have the GH deficiency it's designed to correct.
- Sermorelin 300 mcg nightly
- Stimulates pituitary GH release → elevates IGF-1 → supports follicle metabolism
- Adults with documented GH deficiency (IGF-1 <100 ng/mL)
- 12–18 months to measurable density increase
- Effective only if GH deficiency is confirmed—no benefit in normal-GH patients
- Minoxidil 5% topical twice daily
- Prolongs anagen phase, increases follicle diameter via K⁺ channel activation
- Any pattern hair loss regardless of hormone status
- 4–6 months to visible regrowth
- Works independently of systemic hormones—first-line treatment for most patients
- Finasteride 1 mg daily
- Inhibits 5α-reductase → reduces scalp DHT by 60–70%
- Male pattern baldness driven by androgen receptor sensitivity
- 6–12 months to halt progression, 12–24 months for regrowth
- Targets root cause of androgenic alopecia—more effective than sermorelin in non-deficient men
- Microneedling 1.5 mm weekly + topical treatment
- Induces collagen remodeling, increases growth factor expression in dermis
- Adjunct to pharmacologic treatment
- 6–9 months combined with minoxidil or finasteride
- Enhances drug penetration and follicle response—not standalone
