Genetic factors, enzyme activity, and DHT sensitivity affect individual responses to hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride. Starting treatments early can slow hair loss, but results vary among individuals.
A 21-year-old male suffering from male pattern baldness is using topical finasteride and minoxidil, and oral minoxidil. His bloodwork shows normal DHT levels and slightly high testosterone, leading to discussions about the role of DHT sensitivity in hair loss, the potential impact of finasteride on his DHT levels, and the suggestion to proceed with oral finasteride due to his high testosterone.
The conversation discusses the positive effects of using Minoxidil and Finasteride for two years, with improvements in hair health and darkness noted. However, some side effects such as hair falling out easily and severe adverse reactions were also mentioned.
Hair loss treatments, specifically Minoxidil and the tap method; Finasteride was also discussed but not recommended due to its side effects. Price and other information were requested.
