5 / 1000+ resultscommunity If we lose hair because of our sensitivity to DHT, then why are we trying to reduce DHT when our sensitive androgen receptors are the culprit?
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of reducing DHT for hair loss treatment and explores alternative approaches like reducing androgen receptor sensitivity. Specific treatments mentioned include finasteride, dutasteride, pyrilutamide (KX-826), GT20029, and RU58841.
community My Theory Regarding a Cause and Cure for Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss theory suggests imbalance between Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) and Androgen Receptor (AR) activation. Proposed treatment includes upregulating VDR, downregulating AR, and improving mitochondrial health.
community If dutesteride and oral minoxidil doesn’t work that’s it right?
A user is experiencing continued hair loss despite using 0.5mg dutasteride and 2.5mg minoxidil, and is seeking advice on why the treatments aren't working and how to address potential androgen receptor sensitivity. Replies suggest getting tested and considering scalp micropigmentation (SMP).
community 26F Thinner hair due to vitamin deficiencies?
A female user with chronic anemia and vitamin deficiencies is experiencing finer, straighter hair and seeks recommendations for scalp products to improve circulation and prevent potential hair thinning. She is considering growth oils but is unsure of their effectiveness.
community What else is good. Besides the big 3.
Key treatments for hair preservation include minoxidil, finasteride/dutasteride, and microneedling, with additional options like specific shampoos, oils, biotin, zinc, tretinoin, clascoterone, and low-level laser therapy. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reducing stress, and addressing nutrient deficiencies can also support hair health.
