5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Why is nobody studying the difference between donor and balding hair?
The conversation discusses why the difference between donor and balding hair isn't studied more to find a cure for hair loss. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community How finasteride lowers brain's happiness steroid allopregnanolone and causes depression: systemic dihydroprogesterone crosses blood brain barrier, you don't even need finasteride and brain 5ar for that
Finasteride may lower allopregnanolone levels, potentially affecting mood, but many users report improved mental health due to reduced hair loss. Experiences with finasteride and dutasteride vary, with some experiencing side effects and others finding them beneficial for hair retention and overall happiness.
community Why is dutasteride's volume of distribution so much bigger than finasteride? Is it more lipophilic and crosses barriers better?
Dutasteride has a larger volume of distribution than finasteride due to its lipophilic nature, allowing it to concentrate in hydrophobic areas and making it difficult to excrete. A user experiencing hair loss has been using oral finasteride for 10 months with minimal regrowth and is considering switching to dutasteride or adding oral minoxidil.
community Dermastamping — do you use hyaluronic acid as lubricant?
The conversation discusses using high molecular weight hyaluronic acid after microneedling to form a protective barrier, though it's considered expensive and offers marginal improvement. Users share experiences with different microneedling tools like derma rollers, dermastamps, and Dr. Pen, with some opting not to use any products on the scalp.
community How come Dut doesn’t cause more brain problems than fin if it inhibits Type 1 5AR?
Dutasteride and finasteride have similar risk profiles despite Dutasteride blocking more types of 5AR in the brain. Some users report no mood issues with either drug, and it is suggested that Dutasteride's larger molecular size may limit its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.
