Dutasteride raises scalp testosterone by 99%, which may not be ideal for those sensitive to all androgens. Some argue finasteride's balancing act might be better, while others believe dutasteride is superior for hair regrowth.
community Losing gains from 7 months of oral min, fin, dut.
A user reported losing hair after 7 months of using oral minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride, but others reassured that this is likely just a shedding phase where old hairs fall out to make way for new growth. Some users experience sheds every 7-8 months and suggest staying consistent with treatment.
community Do hair follicles dies or are dormant ?
Hair follicles can be dormant and potentially revived with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, but irreversible loss occurs if certain structures are destroyed. Early intervention is more effective, and additional methods like microneedling may help.
community 8 months post HT: weird asymmetrical shedding/recession?. Dr not 100% sure cause. Theories??
8 months post hair transplant, OP experiences asymmetrical shedding despite using finasteride and starting minoxidil. The doctor suggests it might correct itself or be due to transplant trauma, recommending a wait-and-see approach.
