5 / 1000+ resultscommunity The rate of Scalp DHT suppression does not reduce hair miniaturization at the same rate
Reducing scalp DHT doesn't directly correlate with preventing hair miniaturization, as different follicles have varying sensitivity levels. Dutasteride at 0.5 mg and 2.5 mg shows minimal visual difference in hair regrowth, with side effects being a consideration for higher doses.
community Why is scalp DHT suppression lower than systemic?
Dutasteride reduces DHT more effectively in hair follicles than finasteride, but some individuals still experience hair loss despite treatment. Combining oral and topical finasteride may improve results, and some users experiment with topical dutasteride despite uncertainties about its absorption.
community Efficacy and Systemic DHT Suppression of Topical Finasteride vs Dutasteride
Topical dutasteride may have limited absorption due to its higher molecular mass compared to finasteride, potentially affecting its efficacy in suppressing DHT locally. Microneedling might enhance dutasteride absorption, possibly offering stronger local DHT suppression with fewer systemic effects.
community Approximation of Scalp DHT Suppression Between 0.05 mg to 2.5 mg
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of various doses of Dutasteride in reducing scalp DHT and its impact on hair count. Users shared personal experiences with hair loss treatments, including Dutasteride, Finasteride, and Minoxidil, with one reporting significant hair loss reduction using a combination of oral Dutasteride and topical Minoxidil and Finasteride.
community Comparing the effect of T suppression and DHT suppression
The conversation discusses the use of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors like finasteride and dutasteride for hair loss in transgender women, particularly in relation to testosterone suppression. The original poster has been using dutasteride and is considering stopping it due to undetectable testosterone levels.
