The effectiveness of Dutasteride compared to Finasteride in treating hair loss, with evidence given such as studies and experiences, as well as discussion around whether one should switch from Finasteride to Dutasteride. There is also a discussion on post-Dutasteride syndrome.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
community What About Phytosterol Alternatives - Rice Bran Oil - Natural DHT Blockers
The conversation discusses natural DHT blockers like rice bran oil, which may reduce 5α-reductase activity similarly to Minoxidil and Dutasteride. One user argues that finasteride is more reliable and effective than natural alternatives.
community My DHT levels have increased after taking 0.25mg Fin for 47 days!
A user experienced increased hair shedding and unchanged DHT levels after taking 0.25mg of finasteride for 47 days, leading them to increase the dose to 0.5mg. Others discussed varying experiences with finasteride, minoxidil, and the importance of measuring scalp DHT.
community Tristan Tate stopped using fin i guess???
Tristan Tate's hair loss is discussed, with mentions of finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride as treatments. Users speculate on his hair styling, steroid use, and legal troubles.
