Do we know exactly why some people respond so great to dut/fin,min and others dont? Research/Science 11/8/2024
Genetic factors, enzyme activity, and DHT sensitivity affect individual responses to hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride. Starting treatments early can slow hair loss, but results vary among individuals.

5 / 5 resultscommunity If DHT is the cause of hair loss why do so many still lose hair on dutasteride?
Hair loss can persist despite using treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil due to factors like genetic sensitivity, incomplete DHT blockage, and other hormonal influences. Individual responses vary, and some may require a combination of treatments to stabilize hair loss.
community Is DHT actually the cause of male pattern hair loss or just a correlating factor? Why I think the research is more complicated than we're told and why I've been looking into GHK-Cu
DHT is not the only cause of male pattern hair loss; genetic sensitivity, inflammation, and fibrosis also contribute. GHK-Cu, a copper peptide, is being explored as an alternative treatment to finasteride and minoxidil, showing potential in improving follicle health.
community Attacking DHT synergistically both locally at the scalp and systemically = Greater Success??
The user has been using oral Dutasteride, RU58841, and Minoxidil for three years without success and is considering adding topical Finasteride or Dutasteride to target DHT both locally and systemically. Other users suggest sticking to a consistent treatment plan, exploring different combinations, and considering other factors like potential misdiagnosis or inconsistent medication use.
community Calling out *diffuse thinners* here -- Have you ruled out other factors?
Diffuse hair loss is often linked to genetics but can also be due to health issues like thyroid problems and low vitamin or iron levels. Treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride, with some seeing improvements after addressing health issues.
community Why do some people (specially those with diffuse balding) experience more regrowth just with DHT blockers?
Diffuse thinners often experience more hair regrowth with DHT blockers like finasteride, possibly due to less DHT sensitivity and the presence of miniaturized, not completely bald, follicles. However, regrowth varies widely among individuals, influenced by factors like genetics, the stage of hair loss, and treatment methods such as minoxidil, microneedling, and dermarolling.
