Blocking DHT is not a complete solution for hair loss; instead, altering the scalp's response to DHT may be more effective. Topical finasteride and minoxidil are current treatments, but future approaches may involve bioengineering, gene therapy, and inflammation control.
The post and conversation are about the use of oral Minoxidil (Min), Finasteride (Fin), and RU58841 for hair loss treatment, with mixed opinions on their safety and effectiveness.
An 18-year-old experienced severe side effects, including heart palpitations and high blood pressure, after using RU58841 once, leading to a referral to cardiology for suspected leftventricular hypertrophy. The user regrets using RU58841 and seeks advice on recovery, while others suggest preexisting conditions or genetic predispositions may be factors.
Nandrolone is discussed as a potential treatment for hair regrowth, with some users noting its effectiveness but also its risks, such as organ damage and cardiovascular issues. It is suggested not to be used with finasteride, and some users are experimenting with alternative hormone therapies for hair thickening.
The user experienced significant hair thickening after switching from three years of topical Minoxidil and keto shampoo to three months of topical finasteride and derma stamping. They also noted that they're using less than the recommended amount of finasteride, but still seeing great results.
