The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
The user has been using oral dutasteride and minoxidil for over a year without regrowth or stability, and hair loss continues. Suggestions include checking for inflammation, considering a scalp biopsy, and trying microneedling, topical anti-androgens, or a hair transplant.
Exercise, especially leg workouts, combined with finasteride and minoxidil, may enhance hair regrowth. Cold exposure, like cold showers, might further boost results.
Dutasteride caused persistent hair shedding and no improvement for 18 months, leading to a switch back to finasteride. The user also uses oral minoxidil and plans to focus on better scalp health.
