Treatments for hair loss, such as topical minoxidil, platelet-rich plasma therapy with or without minoxidil, ketoconazole, non-abative radio frequency, natural products, finasteride and cortexolone 17 alpha propionate. The post evaluates the efficacy and safety of these treatments in various studies.

For hair loss, start with Finasteride, Minoxidil, Ketoconazole shampoo, and Microneedling. For severe cases, consider Dutasteride, oral Minoxidil, or hair transplants.

The conversation discusses using finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, cialis, and metformin to protect hair and health. Some users caution against self-prescribing these drugs due to potential risks and complications.

A user maintains NW2 hair with 1mg finasteride, 2.5mg oral minoxidil, and 5% topical minoxidil twice daily, along with ketoconazole shampoo and derma stamping. They seek advice on more aggressive treatments to achieve NW1.

The user is concerned about mixing Pantostin (with Alfatradiol) and Finasteride in a topical solution, fearing a potential toxic reaction or ineffectiveness. They seek advice on whether this combination is safe.

The conversation is about the effectiveness of Dutasteride (Dut) and Minoxidil (Min) in reversing hair thinning. The user has been using Dut for 3 months and Min for a couple of years, and while hair fall has reduced, thinning continues. Other users suggest that Dut can reverse hair thinning over time, possibly beyond a year, and the outcome depends on individual body reactions and the degree of hair miniaturization.

The group buy for CB-03-01, a topical anti-androgen for hair loss, was postponed and refunded due to issues with the product's form and solubility. The product, also known as Breezula, is an alternative to finasteride with fewer side effects, but its official release is delayed until 2021.

This conversation humorously criticizes DHT for causing hair loss. Treatments mentioned include finasteride and dutasteride.

The conversation humorously discusses using finasteride to combat hair loss, referencing "Dune" themes. Users agree that finasteride is essential for maintaining hair.

The conversation discusses whether creatine causes hair loss for those using finasteride or dutasteride, with some suggesting creatine might increase DHT or upregulate androgen receptors, potentially leading to hair loss. Others argue the evidence is not conclusive, citing limited studies and personal anecdotes, with some avoiding creatine as a precaution.

Dutasteride is likely the most effective treatment for male pattern baldness, followed by finasteride and minoxidil in various forms and dosages. Users discuss personal experiences, dosages, and potential side effects, with some considering combining treatments for better results.

Long term Finasteride users and whether or not they have noticed improvements after two years of use, with other treatments such as Minoxidil and dermarolling also discussed. Some replies suggest that improvement is possible even beyond the two year mark while others caution against believing studies backed by the Post-Finasteride Foundation.

FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.

Testosterone within the normal range does not significantly contribute to male pattern baldness (MPB); DHT is the main factor that can be controlled. Genetics play a crucial role in hair loss, and treatments like finasteride and dutasteride, which block DHT, can help despite potentially raising testosterone levels.

The conversation discusses the link between seborrheic dermatitis, acne, and male pattern baldness, suggesting that DHT may cause both skin conditions and hair loss. Treatments mentioned include RU58841, finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, Nizoral shampoo, and other topical anti-androgens.

The conversation is about a person's hair loss treatment regimen, which includes Minoxidil, low-dose Finasteride, Pyrilutamide, weekly use of a derma roller, and hair loss shampoo. They chose these treatments to minimize systemic effects and plan to share their results for others' benefit.

The efficacy of taking 1mg finasteride three times a week instead of daily for hair loss, with some users arguing that it is just as effective because finasteride has a long half-life in the scalp tissue and lower doses have been shown to be effective. Other users suggest experimenting with various treatments such as minoxidil and finasteride to achieve best results.

User discusses tight scalp causing hair loss and suggests treatments like scalp massages, PRP, saw palmetto, and eucapil. They share their experience with saw palmetto and eucapil and consider adding PRP and scalp massages for better results.

User seeks non-finasteride hair loss treatments, suggests Eucapil, minoxidil, microneedling, keto shampoo, oral castor oil, and alfatradiol. Reply recommends vitamin D, zinc, pumpkin seed oil, saw palmetto, and high black tea intake, but emphasizes minoxidil and microneedling as most effective.

Dutasteride is associated with increased blood glucose, HbA1c, LDL cholesterol, and liver enzyme activity, potentially leading to diabetes, NAFLD, and liver metabolism changes. The conversation highlights concerns about these adverse effects and calls for more studies, including on finasteride.

CRISPR shows promise for treating hair loss by targeting specific genes. Current treatments include Minoxidil and finasteride, but CRISPR could offer a more precise solution, though it is still expensive and in early stages.

The conversation is about switching from finasteride to dutasteride for hair loss treatment. Users shared mixed experiences with side effects and effectiveness, with some preferring to stick with finasteride if it's working.
