A 23-year-old is considering using a topical solution of Finjuve (finasteride and minoxidil) at a reduced dosage of 0.2/0.4mg to treat crown thinning while minimizing side effects. Applying 0.1-0.2 mL is suggested to lower systemic absorption and effectively reduce DHT on the scalp.
An 18-year-old is using a high-dose treatment for hair loss, including 2.5 mg dutasteride, topical minoxidil, and injectable GHK-Cu, despite minimal hair loss. Many users suggest reducing the dutasteride dose due to potential side effects and recommend starting with finasteride instead.

1 mg of finasteride is commonly prescribed because it is more effective for a larger number of people compared to lower doses, despite only slightly reducing serum DHT more than 0.2 mg. Serum DHT and scalp DHT are different, and 1 mg is believed to reduce scalp DHT more effectively, contributing to better hair growth results.
The user added Dutasteride to their routine, which reduced hair loss, and is considering reintroducing Pyril at a lower dose of 0.5 ml to save costs. It is suggested that 0.5 ml can still be effective if spread properly.
