    GlossaryAbsorbance

    measure of light absorbed by a substance in a sample

    Absorbance, also known as Optical Density (OD), is a measure of how much light a substance absorbs as it passes through a sample. In the context of biology and hair research, absorbance can be used to quantify the concentration of specific molecules, such as proteins or pigments, in a solution by measuring the reduction in light intensity at a particular wavelength.

      community Efficacy and Systemic DHT Suppression of Topical Finasteride vs Dutasteride

      in General  122 upvotes 11 months ago
      Topical dutasteride may have limited absorption due to its higher molecular mass compared to finasteride, potentially affecting its efficacy in suppressing DHT locally. Microneedling might enhance dutasteride absorption, possibly offering stronger local DHT suppression with fewer systemic effects.
