    GlossaryDihydrotestosterone Blockers

    inhibit the hormone DHT to prevent hair loss

    Dihydrotestosterone Blockers, often referred to as DHT Blockers, are substances that inhibit the action or production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to hair loss. By reducing DHT levels, these blockers can help prevent hair follicles from shrinking, thereby slowing or stopping hair loss and promoting hair regrowth.

      The conversation discusses whether finasteride's reduction of DHT and increase in scalp testosterone contribute to hair follicle miniaturization. Some participants argue testosterone does not cause miniaturization, while others suggest that even with reduced DHT, other androgens like testosterone may still contribute to hair loss.
