      community Why do people say you will have an extremely high chance of maintenance if you are on Dutasteride, if 0.5 mg only removes 50% of scalp dht

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  30 upvotes 3 months ago
      Dutasteride and finasteride are effective for many in reducing hair loss by lowering DHT levels, though results vary based on individual sensitivity and genetics. Higher doses of dutasteride may not significantly increase hair growth due to diminishing returns, and topical finasteride is suggested as an alternative for some.

      in Research/Science  261 upvotes 3 months ago
