Glossary Scalp Reduction

removal of bald scalp areas to reduce hairless regions

Scalp reduction, also known as scalp reduction surgery, is a procedure used to treat hair loss by removing bald areas of the scalp and stretching the areas with hair to cover the removed sections. This technique is often employed in cases of extensive baldness, particularly on the crown or top of the head, and can be combined with other hair restoration methods like hair transplants for optimal results.

community DHT reduction in the scalp for all doses of dutasteride is now available.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 357 upvotes 1 year ago

Higher doses of dutasteride reduce scalp DHT more effectively than finasteride, but have diminishing returns after 3mg daily and may cause more side effects. Combining dutasteride with topical minoxidil can enhance results, but using both finasteride and dutasteride together is unnecessary.

community Does Topical Finasteride Directly Reducing Scalp DHT?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 15 upvotes 3 years ago

Topical finasteride reduces scalp DHT, with some going systemic. Using 0.025% at 1ml per day can stabilize hair loss without side effects.

community Mesotherapy Dutasteride Reverses Hair Loss. Most effective treatment we have in reducing scalp DHT

community Head and Shoulders 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner use resulting in hair growth by reducing scalp inflammation and DHT?

8 upvotes 2 years ago

User experienced new hair growth after using Head and Shoulders 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner, attributing it to pyrithione zinc reducing scalp inflammation and DHT. They seek others' experiences with anti-dandruff products.

community The rate of Scalp DHT suppression does not reduce hair miniaturization at the same rate

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 46 upvotes 1 year ago

Reducing scalp DHT doesn't directly correlate with preventing hair miniaturization, as different follicles have varying sensitivity levels. Dutasteride at 0.5 mg and 2.5 mg shows minimal visual difference in hair regrowth, with side effects being a consideration for higher doses.

Does ketoconazole really help with hair loss? Ketoconazole may help reduce hair loss by inhibiting DHT and reducing scalp inflammation.

Frontline, gold standard treatment for combatting androgenic alopecia

learn Exosomes

What does Fluridil do on the scalp, and how does it block the DHT hormone? Fluridil blocks DHT by binding to androgen receptors in hair follicles, preventing hair loss.

learn Centella

Could a flaxseed-based hair mask help fight off the DHT effect in your scalp? There is no verifiable evidence that flaxseed lowers DHT or that its lignans penetrate the scalp; a flaxseed gel mask is a cheap emollient that may soothe an irritated scalp, and it is not a treatment for androgenetic alopecia.

learn Fluridil

How is Fluridil different from other DHT blockers like finasteride? Fluridil is a topical androgen-receptor blocker applied to the scalp, while finasteride is an oral 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that lowers DHT throughout the body. Finasteride is FDA-approved and far better studied; Fluridil rests on one 43-man trial and is not licensed as a hair-loss medicine, so its long-term safety and effect size are unknown.

learn Metformin

Does metformin help control DHT levels that trigger androgenic alopecia? Metformin has been shown to lower circulating androgens in women with PCOS, but no published study has measured scalp DHT, 5-alpha reductase activity in the follicle, or hair density in anyone taking it — so its effect on pattern hair loss is untested, and it is not a DHT blocker.
