Stem cell therapy shows promise in treating hair loss by mimicking DHT-resistant cells from the back of the head. Traditional treatments like finasteride are also discussed, but stem cells could potentially offer a more permanent solution.

Finasteride and Dutasteride help reduce itchy scalp and dandruff caused by DHT. Users also report less acne and reduced hair loss.

Supplements like saw palmetto or pumpkin seed oil may target the remaining 10% of DHT not affected by Dutasteride. Users discuss whether these supplements are beneficial when already using Dutasteride.

Progesterone cream might help with hair loss by inhibiting DHT production and suppressing prolactin, which can increase DHT. Some dermatologists have used progesterone for hair loss treatment, and it has been effective, sometimes combined with minoxidil, finasteride, and hydrocortisone.

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.

The conversation discusses using finasteride or dutasteride to reduce DHT, CosmeRNA to target androgen receptors, and Minoxidil as a vasodilator for hair growth. The regimen aims to maintain hair by addressing DHT-AR ratio and continuous Minoxidil use.

Researching the cause of hair loss and treating it by preventing DHT in the scalp with medication such as finasteride or dutasteride, estrogen, minoxidil, dermarolling, and possible topical antiandrogens.

Experimenting with trestolone as a treatment for hair loss in an attempt to avoid DHT-related treatments such as finasteride and dutasteride, and discussing the potential effects of its receptor selectivity on the androgen receptors in the scalp.

Experimenting with the effects of creatine and finasteride on DHT levels, as well as a discussion regarding the potential link between creatine supplementation and hair loss.

Natural vitamins like pumpkin seed oil, saw palmetto, and ecklonia cava are discussed for their potential to lower DHT levels. They may work similarly to finasteride but are significantly weaker.

Hair loss theory involves 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (3AHD) converting DHT to androstenol. Discussion explores potential treatments and encourages more research.

The user discusses the potential impact of external DHT in sebum on hair loss and plans to wash their hair daily with salicylic acid exfoliation. They believe this might help reduce hair loss despite internal factors.

Dutasteride mesotherapy showed increased hair density and diameter without reducing serum DHT levels in a small study. However, the sample size was too small to make definitive claims about its efficacy.

Finasteride and dutasteride can improve skin texture and reduce acne by lowering DHT but do not reverse aging. They may enhance skin and hair health for some, but can also cause side effects like dry skin and sexual dysfunction.

A user in England seeks advice on where to get a custom blood test for DHT, PRL, estradiol, SHBG, testosterone, and free testosterone before starting dutasteride. They want a baseline measurement before beginning treatment.

The conversation discusses using very low dose topical finasteride to achieve specific serum DHT reduction percentages. It concludes that finasteride dosage increases linearly between 5-30% DHT reduction but requires exponential increases for reductions up to 70%.

A user is considering combining oral and topical dutasteride to lower scalp DHT more effectively and is seeking advice on this approach. They are thinking about doing a patch test on their mid scalp.

FOL-005 claims to be more effective than Minoxidil and Finasteride but lacks anti-DHT properties, leading to potential reduced efficacy over time. Concerns are raised about misleading marketing and the safety of alternative treatments like Pyrilutamide and Clascoterone.

The conversation is about the effectiveness and safety of using 2.5mg of Dutasteride for hair loss. Users discuss the high scalp DHT suppression rates but caution against high doses due to potential side effects and recommend consulting a doctor.

High cholesterol may accelerate hair loss by reducing blood flow and increasing DHT levels. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

The user has been on finasteride for 4.5 years and minoxidil for 10 years, maintaining hair but not regrowing much on the crown and temples. They are considering using a dermastamp more frequently and possibly trying RU58841, but are hesitant about dutasteride due to concerns about side effects and DHT suppression.

A user on finasteride for hair loss is considering topical dutasteride to further reduce scalp DHT and is using various other topicals as substitutes for minoxidil due to concerns about the safety of their cats and potential heart side effects from oral minoxidil. They are exploring whether a once-weekly application of topical dutasteride would be effective.

The conversation discusses whether to try dutasteride for hair loss if finasteride had no effect. Users suggest dutasteride might be more effective as it is stronger and blocks more types of DHT.

A Spanish dermatologist suggests sulforaphane for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) due to its potential to remove DHT metabolites, though high dosages are needed. A topical formulation might be possible.

The conversation discusses the use of 12.5mg cyproterone every other day for hair loss. There's a concern about reducing testosterone potentially increasing DHT and negatively affecting hair.

A user is considering switching from oral to topical finasteride to reduce systemic DHT impact and is exploring ethossomal finasteride for better skin penetration and potential hair regrowth. They found ethossomal finasteride in Brazil and are seeking opinions on its effectiveness compared to other topical delivery methods.

Topical finasteride with hydroxypropyl chitosan shows significantly less serum absorption and minimal DHT reduction compared to oral finasteride. Users need the specific chitosan formulation to avoid side effects seen with regular ethanol+PG solutions.

Dutasteride is a stronger 5AR inhibitor than finasteride and can significantly lower DHT levels. Reduced doses of dutasteride may lower side effects.

The conversation discusses the complexity of hair loss causes, suggesting that DHT sensitivity alone doesn't fully explain it. Treatments mentioned include finasteride and dutasteride.

Breezula (clascoterone) and Formula 82F (topical finasteride) are treatments for hair loss that block DHT differently; Breezula competes with DHT at the hormone receptor site without systemic effects, while 82F inhibits the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT. Breezula may work for those who don't respond to finasteride and vice versa.
