research Response to Effectiveness of Dutasteride in a Large Series of Patients with Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia in Real Clinical Practice
The authors suggest that 5-α-reductase inhibitors, like dutasteride, are effective in treating frontal fibrosing alopecia and should be the first-line treatment, with other options for severe cases. They also recommend further research on Janus kinase inhibitors.
research Molecular Profiling of Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia Reveals TH1 and JAK-STAT Up-Regulation with No Suppression of Hair Keratins
Frontal fibrosing alopecia shows increased inflammation and JAK-STAT pathway activity without reduced hair proteins.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia Under Dynamic Optical Coherence Tomography
D-OCT shows increased blood vessel growth in response to tissue damage in Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and is useful for diagnosis and monitoring.
research Further Research Needed If Finasteride Is to Become Standard of Care for Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia
More research needed to confirm finasteride as standard treatment for FFA.

5 / 11 resultscommunity Using a SERM (Ralox) and oral fin at the same time - anyone with similar experiences?
The user experienced gynecomastia from finasteride, used raloxifene to treat it, and is now taking both without new gyno symptoms but also without hair regrowth. They are seeking others' experiences with this combination and its effects on hair.
community What are your unpopular opinions on hair loss and its treatments?
Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplants are more accessible and effective now. Concerns about side effects and skepticism about new treatments like hair cloning and GT20029 remain.
community One year of progress (Fin, 1mg)
The user started finasteride (1mg) a year ago for hair thinning, experiencing stabilization but not significant regrowth. Suggestions included adding minoxidil, microneedling, and considering a hair transplant for improved results.
community 9 months on Fin - no progress , should I get on Dutasteride?
The user has been using finasteride, minoxidil, and nizoral for hair loss but hasn't seen regrowth, only maintenance. They are considering switching to dutasteride, which is believed to be more effective, but are concerned about potential side effects.
community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
