community Does finasteride/dutasteride reverse aging?

in Chat 45 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride and dutasteride can improve skin texture and reduce acne by lowering DHT but do not reverse aging. They may enhance skin and hair health for some, but can also cause side effects like dry skin and sexual dysfunction.

learn Overview

learn Finasteride

Does hair strand thickness decrease in men with androgenic alopecia? Can finasteride help restore it? Androgenic alopecia thins hair strands by miniaturizing follicles. The pivotal finasteride trials (1,553 men, 1 mg/day, two years) report increased hair counts and improved assessed appearance, but they measured density, not the diameter of individual strands, so the effect on thickness itself is not established.

learn Dutasteride

Dutasteride side effects: what the label and studies actually report The Avodart label reports impotence in 4.7% and decreased libido in 3.0% of men in the first six months (1.7% and 1.4% on placebo), with new reports falling after month six; those figures come from BPH trials in older men, and the hair-loss trials in younger men run only six months. The label and studies also flag a PSA drop of about half, a small rise in high-grade prostate cancer in one trial, an observational link to depression, and sexual effects that the label says may persist after stopping.
