Finasteride may seem less effective over time due to increased DHT sensitivity or aging, but it still suppresses DHT. Switching to dutasteride offers stronger DHT suppression but may increase estrogen levels.
community Tretinoin can make it worse!!!
Tretinoin may enhance minoxidil's effectiveness for those not responding to minoxidil alone, but it could reduce efficacy for some who are already responding to minoxidil. Tretinoin requires careful use, including skin moisturizing and sun protection due to increased sensitivity.
community Went home for the holidays and my Dad asked ‘what have you done to your hair?’ he was genuinely happy for me and supportive when I told him I was growing it back with finasteride. AMA – 7 months in.
User experienced significant hair regrowth after 7 months of using 0.5mg finasteride, along with minoxidil and dermastamp. Side effects include increased sensitivity to poor lifestyle choices, but overall confidence improved.
community What actually causes hair loss / androgenic alopecia?
DHT sensitivity at the scalp increases with age, contributing to androgenic alopecia. Treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 are discussed for managing hair loss.
community Why do people say you will have an extremely high chance of maintenance if you are on Dutasteride, if 0.5 mg only removes 50% of scalp dht
Dutasteride and finasteride are effective for many in reducing hair loss by lowering DHT levels, though results vary based on individual sensitivity and genetics. Higher doses of dutasteride may not significantly increase hair growth due to diminishing returns, and topical finasteride is suggested as an alternative for some.
