Responses suggest that while exercise can slightly increase testosterone and DHT, genetics primarily determine hair loss, and treatments like finasteride are recommended for DHT control.

VDPHL01 is discussed as a potential replacement for DHT blockers, with comparisons to minoxidil. Users express skepticism about its effectiveness without addressing DHT, suggesting it may only slow hair loss rather than stop it.

The user experienced new hair growth after switching from oral finasteride to topical RU58841 with minoxidil and undergoing stem cell therapy. They noticed new hairs at the hairline and temples, but are unsure which treatment is responsible.
