    High Androgen Levels, also known as Elevated Androgen Levels, refer to an excess of male hormones, such as testosterone, in the body. This condition can affect both men and women and may lead to symptoms like excessive hair growth (hirsutism), acne, and in women, conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Elevated androgens can disrupt normal hormonal balance and may require medical evaluation and management.

      community Does finasteride/dutasteride reverse aging?

      in Chat  45 upvotes 1 year ago
      Finasteride and dutasteride can improve skin texture and reduce acne by lowering DHT but do not reverse aging. They may enhance skin and hair health for some, but can also cause side effects like dry skin and sexual dysfunction.

      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.
