finasteride androgenetic alopecia Norwood/Hamilton scale serum prostate specific antigen Propecia AGA

TLDR Finasteride effectively slowed hair loss and promoted hair growth in Taiwanese men with AGA.

An open-label study evaluated the efficacy and safety of finasteride 1 mg/day in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in 34 Taiwanese men aged 18-40 years. After 12 months, 23.8% of participants showed a two-grade improvement in the modified Norwood/Hamilton scale, and 57.1% showed a one-grade improvement. Hair growth was observed in 15.1% of subjects at 6 months and 52.4% at 12 months. Patient self-assessment indicated increased satisfaction with hair growth, with 42.9% satisfied with their appearance at 12 months. Serum prostate specific antigen levels decreased by 23.4%, and adverse effects were minimal, with no established causal relationship to finasteride. The study concluded that finasteride effectively slowed hair loss progression and promoted hair growth in Taiwanese men with AGA.

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 1 year ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 57 upvotes 4 months ago

A 21-year-old male uses minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride for hair loss but still experiences progression with high DHT levels. Suggestions include increasing dosages, checking for deficiencies, considering a hair system, or consulting a specialist.

community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

in Research/Science 140 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.

community After 11 Years On Finasteride, Unfortunately, Hair Is Starting To Thin Again. Does Hair Simply Get More Sensitive To DHT As You Age?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 95 upvotes 1 year ago

After 11 years on Finasteride, a user's hair is thinning again, suggesting hair may become more sensitive to DHT with age. They plan to introduce Dutasteride once a week, as they cannot tolerate Minoxidil.

community Efficacy and Tolerability of N-Acetyl-Cysteine for Treatment of The Early-onset Androgenetic Alopecia in Men

in Research/Science 27 upvotes 3 years ago

N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) was found to improve hair parameters in men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia, showing increased terminal hair count and decreased vellus hair count, with good tolerability. NAC, used alone or with minoxidil, may help due to its antioxidant properties, though its effectiveness can vary among individuals.
