Rethinking DHT and Hair Loss: Are We Targeting the Wrong Enemy? Research/Science 5/26/2025
Blocking DHT is not a complete solution for hair loss; instead, altering the scalp's response to DHT may be more effective. Topical finasteride and minoxidil are current treatments, but future approaches may involve bioengineering, gene therapy, and inflammation control.

Blocking DHT is not a cure for hair loss; instead, altering how scalp follicles respond to DHT might be more effective. Current treatments like topical finasteride and minoxidil are temporary solutions, and future approaches may involve gene therapy and bioengineering to change follicle behavior.
community DIY Dutasteride Mesotherapy....THE ULTIMATE EXPERIMENT WITH RESULTS!
User tried DIY Dutasteride Mesotherapy for hair loss due to unsatisfactory Finasteride results. Used mesotherapy injection gun and liquid dutasteride for better results and fewer side effects.
community Kintor has announced the results for their human Phase I trials of GT20029
The conversation discusses the potential of a new hair loss treatment, GT20029, which may prevent hair loss by destroying androgen receptors on the scalp. Users express hope for the treatment's success and speculate on its usage routine, effectiveness, and possible side effects.
community Why is Minoxidil not enough for hair loss? (No fin)
Minoxidil alone is often insufficient for treating hair loss because it doesn't address the DHT-related cause. Combining it with finasteride, a DHT blocker, is generally more effective.
community 15 years of finasteride/minoxidil
A user shared a 15-year experience using minoxidil and finasteride for hair loss, stating that despite never missing a dose, their hairline continued to recede slowly. Other users suggested that the hair loss might be exacerbated by the use of steroids and recommended considering other treatments like dutasteride and RU58841.
