Why does this industry still revolve around 5-AR inhibitors? 6/14/2021
Hair loss treatments still rely heavily on minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, with little innovation. Future treatments like stem cell therapy and RNA technology show promise but are not yet available.

Treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, microneedling, and low level laser light therapy, which aim to reduce DHT production, increase cell absorption and blood flow, and stimulate epidermal stem cells. It also stresses the importance of patience when using these treatments.
community Wtf have we been doing for the last 30 years
Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride work but have side effects. A permanent cure is still not available due to the complexity of hair loss and limited investment.
community The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!
The post and conversation are about the role of the enzyme 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase in hair loss and the potential of compounds like procyanidin B2 and sulforaphane to boost its activity for hair regrowth. Further research is needed to develop effective treatments based on this theory.
community Dutasteride Vs. Testosterone, who wins?
The conversation discusses whether 2.5mg of dutasteride or 200mg of testosterone weekly is more influential in preventing hair loss, with various personal experiences indicating that the effectiveness is dependent on the individual's genetic profile. Some users report that dutasteride is likely to be more effective at the given doses.
community Allopregnanolone deficiency by 5-ari inhibition (fin/dut users)
The conversation is about managing allopregnanolone deficiency caused by 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors like finasteride or dutasteride. Specific treatments discussed for hair loss include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
