community 1 Month of 10%Minoxidil + Finastride Solution, DHT Blocker Hair Gummies, 1mm derma roller. What do you think? I had Hair Transplant done, close to 5 years before. Stopped Minoxidil 1 year before. Started this Treatment again. My Dermatologist said I will not grow a single strand of hair.

in Is this regrowth? 71 upvotes 1 year ago

The user resumed a hair loss treatment with 10% minoxidil, finasteride solution, DHT blocker hair gummies, and a 1mm derma roller after stopping minoxidil a year ago, despite a dermatologist's skepticism about regrowth. Users suggest avoiding gummies, considering oral dutasteride, and maintaining finasteride use for better results.

Finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil are discussed as treatments for male pattern baldness. Finasteride and dutasteride are effective DHT blockers, while minoxidil is necessary for regrowth but must be used consistently.

community Is there anyone here on minoxidil only?

in Minoxidil 73 upvotes 2 months ago

Minoxidil can slow hair loss and promote regrowth, but results vary, and it may be less effective without finasteride. Some users experience side effects with finasteride and prefer using minoxidil alone or with other treatments like ketoconazole shampoo and microneedling.

learn white tea

Can white tea help reduce DHT-related hair thinning in androgenic alopecia? In lab tests, tea catechins blocked type 1 (not type 2) 5-alpha-reductase; no human study shows white tea lowers scalp DHT or reduces hair thinning.

learn Fluridil

How is Fluridil different from other DHT blockers like finasteride? Fluridil is a topical androgen-receptor blocker applied to the scalp, while finasteride is an oral 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that lowers DHT throughout the body. Finasteride is FDA-approved and far better studied; Fluridil rests on one 43-man trial and is not licensed as a hair-loss medicine, so its long-term safety and effect size are unknown.

learn Setipiprant

What is Setipiprant and how does it differ from DHT blockers like finasteride or dutasteride? Setipiprant blocks the prostaglandin D2 receptor DP2 rather than the DHT pathway that finasteride and dutasteride act on. The one published human trial — a 169-man, 24-week phase 2a study at 2,000 mg a day — reported no statistically significant improvement in hair density over placebo, and setipiprant is not an approved hair-loss medicine anywhere.

learn Metformin

Does metformin help control DHT levels that trigger androgenic alopecia? Small studies have found that metformin lowers circulating androgens in women with PCOS, but no published study has measured scalp DHT, 5-alpha reductase activity in the follicle, or hair density in anyone taking it — so its effect on pattern hair loss is untested, and it is not a DHT blocker.

learn Dutasteride

5-alpha reductase inhibitor that blocks both enzyme types, a stronger DHT blocker than finasteride

learn Clascoterone

Topical androgen-receptor blocker, approved as an acne cream

learn GHK-Cu

Copper peptide used in skin and hair cosmetics
