Finasteride is effective for DHT/AR-driven hair loss but not for chromosome20-driven cases, where treatments like minoxidil, prostaglandin analogs, and low-level laser therapy may be more beneficial. Genetic testing can help determine the underlying cause of hair loss to tailor treatment effectively.
Some hair loss may be linked to chromosome20, which isn't affected by DHT blockers like finasteride. Treatments like minoxidil, microneedling, and genetic testing are suggested, but their effectiveness for this type of hair loss is uncertain.
The user is using testosterone and finasteride to prevent hair loss and is considering adding Primobolan or Masteron, which are DHT-derivatives. They are seeking advice on their genetic risk for male pattern baldness and whether they can safely use these compounds without significant hair loss.
User TopBack56 and friends tried pyrilutamide (KX-826) for hair loss without experiencing negative side effects. They observed fine vellus hairs but no thick hair growth yet, and plan to add GT20029 to their regime after safety trials.
Dutasteride can stabilize or improve hair loss but may cause side effects like depression and anxiety. Users often switch from finasteride to dutasteride for stronger results, with varied experiences in shedding and regrowth.
