The conversation discusses preferences for hair loss treatments, specifically finasteride over dutasteride. Users share personal experiences, cost considerations, FDA approval status, and potential side effects, with some switching between treatments to find what works best for them.
A 17-year-old is concerned about hair loss and questions his dermatologist's advice against using finasteride due to age. The dermatologist recommended a serum with aloe vera, saw palmetto, biotin, and dexpanthenol, but the user is skeptical and considers using minoxidil instead.
Korea launched its first OTC oral hair loss drug, dexpanthenol B5. Users discuss its anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects but note a lack of efficacy studies.
User tried DIY Dutasteride Mesotherapy for hair loss due to unsatisfactory Finasteride results. Used mesotherapy injection gun and liquid dutasteride for better results and fewer side effects.
The user tried Minoxidil, PRP, Hair Carboxytherapy, and topical Dutasteride with limited success and is now on oral Dutasteride. They are experiencing some hair loss reduction but no significant density improvement, leading to feelings of depression.
