      community How far are we from a treatment better than finasteride?

      in Treatment  129 upvotes 1 month ago
      Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair loss as it blocks more of the enzyme causing hair loss. New treatments like stem cell therapies and alternatives to minoxidil are being explored, but major advancements are still years away.
