User shared 3 months progress using Fin (oral) and Min (foam) for hair loss. Others suggested adding derma rolling and discussed dosages and experiences.
User shared 8-month hair loss treatment progress using topical fin/min, topical dut, mk677, RU, and microneedling. They experienced watery semen as a side effect but saw significant improvement in hair growth.
User shared 5.5-month progress using 0.5mg finasteride, 5% minoxidil, 1.5mm microneedling weekly, and 20mg RU58841, with positive results and no side effects. Others discussed their experiences, dosage adjustments, and the importance of age in treatment efficacy.
A user's 9 month progress using Finasteride, Derma Pen/Roller and Minoxidil to treat hair loss. Replies in the conversation include advice on topical application of Minoxidil and Dutasteride for regrowth and hair thickness.
A user shared their successful hair regrowth routine, which includes finasteride, derma rolling, minoxidil (Rogaine), biotin pills, and vitamin D supplementation, and saw noticeable results in 3 months. They suggest this routine as a variation of the "Big 3" hair loss treatments and have created a website to sell the products they used.
BlockingDHT may slow down aging and improve skin, with users reporting positive effects from finasteride. Minoxidil and RU58841 are also mentioned as treatments.
The conversation is about the effectiveness of topical azelaic acid in blockingDHT for hair loss treatment. Specific treatments discussed include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
Shampoos are generally ineffective for stopping hair loss or blockingDHT, with treatments like minoxidil and finasteride being more effective. Finasteride can stop hair loss in some cases, but often only slows it down for most users.
Finasteride stops hair loss by blockingDHT, while Minoxidil promotes hair growth by increasing blood flow to hair follicles. Using both can help regrow hair, but results vary by individual.
Finasteride prevents further hair loss by blockingDHT, while minoxidil stimulates hair growth by prolonging the active phase of hair follicles. Stopping minoxidil can lead to loss of regrown hair because finasteride does not address the same growth mechanism.
RU58841 is used topically to prevent hair loss by blockingDHT, with suggestions to drink grapefruit juice, take breaks, avoid microneedling, and use lower concentrations to reduce side effects. Users discuss applying it at night to minimize systemic absorption.
Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blockingDHT and promoting hair growth.
Minoxidil increases hair count despite high prolactin being linked to hair loss. BlockingDHT is effective, but not always necessary; HMI-115 is a promising treatment for androgenetic alopecia.
The user experienced hair loss after initially gaining hair with minoxidil and is now using dutasteride and oral minoxidil alongside topical minoxidil, hoping to regain lost hair. There is uncertainty about the effectiveness of these treatments, with some users suggesting that blockingDHT might help, while others express skepticism about regrowth.
Dutasteride, especially at higher doses, is considered more effective than Minoxidil for hair regrowth by blockingDHT, which causes hair loss. Combining Dutasteride with Minoxidil may enhance hair recovery by prolonging the hair growth phase.
Finasteride and dutasteride are essential for stopping hair loss, while natural remedies are ineffective. Minoxidil can be added if needed, but blockingDHT is crucial.
A user is concerned about taking 1mg/day of finasteride due to potential gynecomastia, given their blood results. They seek advice on how their hormone levels might be affected by blockingDHT.
Hair loss discussion includes potential HMI-115 treatment. Topical mucuna pruriens shows good results, blocking prolactin possibly more important than blockingDHT.
The conversation discusses a hair loss treatment regimen involving finasteride, dutasteride, spironolactone, bicalutamide, oral estradiol, microneedling, and minoxidil. The regimen aims to reduce androgenic alopecia by blockingDHT and androgens, with a caution about potential feminizing effects.
A 17-year-old is using oral dutasteride, finasteride, and topical minoxidil for hair loss, with plans to increase dutasteride and consider surgery. They report significant regrowth but are worried about side effects and the effects of blockingDHT at a young age.
White rice may lower DHT and potentially cause symptoms similar to post-finasteride syndrome. The user experienced muscle wasting, depression, and other symptoms after consuming large amounts of white rice.
The conversation discusses whether to use finasteride for hair loss, considering its role in inhibiting DHT and 5AR, which can affect brain function and mood. Some users report anxiety and depression from finasteride, while others do not experience these side effects and emphasize the importance of DHT for brain and prostate health.
Topical finasteride is believed to reduce scalp DHT more than oral forms, but its effectiveness is questioned due to inconsistent application and absorption. Oral finasteride is considered more effective because it consistently reduces systemic DHT, ensuring more reliable results.
Creatine may increase DHT levels, potentially causing symptoms like acne, oily hair, and hair shedding. Users report mixed experiences, with some avoiding creatine due to hair loss concerns and others seeing no impact.
Hair growth can be induced without stopping DHT, as seen with Minoxidil. HMI115 may work by promoting follicle growth, not targeting the root cause of hair loss (DHT).
Hair loss recovery using estrogen and anti-androgen treatment for 18 months showed significant improvement. However, results vary and alternative treatments like RU58841 and Dutasteride may work without systemic feminization.
User experienced slow gains with topical fin+min, switched to topical dut+min, and considered adding Eucapil. Another user suggested DUT may be less effective topically due to high molar mass and mentioned Fluridil as a weak anti-androgen that could help.
Factors that can cause hair loss other than DHT, such as inflammation and diet, and potential treatments like scalp massages, minoxidil, citrulline, stretches, meditation, iron sulfate/Vitamin C, Vitamin D, protein and Dutasteride.
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.
