Baby hairs can mature with long-term DHT reduction, and Minoxidil can aid this process. Dutasteride mesotherapy is effective and preferable to oral pills, as it directly targets tissues.
J. Hewitt plans to trial hair multiplication in Japan by the end of 2019. The technique was developed by German researchers at the University of Berlin and formed the company "TissUse."
The conversation discusses the fluctuation of testosterone levels in men under 40 and the difference between serum DHT and scalp DHT. It also mentions that DHTlevels are higher on Dutasteride than on Finasteride, which is unusual.
The user started on Finasteride, switched to Dutasteride, and is considering microneedling but was advised against it by their hair surgeon due to potential scalp issues affecting a planned hair transplant. Other users suggest alternatives like Minoxidil, PRP, and avoiding microneedling due to the risk of scar tissue impacting transplant results.
The user has been treating hair loss with finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, Nizoral shampoo, and Nutrafol, and is asking for opinions on their progress. Suggestions include continuing current treatments, considering dutasteride or other options, and being cautious with microneedling frequency to avoid scar tissue.
The conversation discusses the effects of lowering DHT on hair loss and the importance of monitoring DHTlevels during treatment. The user suggests that individual responses to DHT and hair loss treatments vary, and expresses a preference for topical treatments over oral medications due to concerns about systemic DHT reduction.
The user shared their bloodwork results showing DHT at 17 ng/dl and testosterone at 287 ng/dl, with a slight Vitamin D deficiency. They are seeking opinions on these levels and have an upcoming dermatologist appointment.
JeremySoCa's DHTlevel was 29 ng/dl, considered low, and Estradiol was 26.1 pg/dl within the normal range. They are using topical finasteride for hair loss and had a thyroidectomy due to Graves' disease.
The user experienced hair shedding after starting testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and is considering using DHT blockers like finasteride or dutasteride to address potential DHT-related hair loss. Low ferritin levels due to frequent blood donations may also contribute to hair issues, and the user is working on stabilizing iron levels.
The conversation discusses a personal theory on the role of DHT in stress and reproduction, suggesting it converts testosterone for reproductive traits. The discussion includes skepticism and mentions individual differences in physiology and neurochemistry.
Dutasteride raises scalp testosterone by 99%, which may not be ideal for those sensitive to all androgens. Some argue finasteride's balancing act might be better, while others believe dutasteride is superior for hair regrowth.
The conversation is about gathering serum DHT data from individuals taking dutasteride to investigate its efficacy, especially in cases with unexpectedly low DHT reduction. The aim is to explore potential genetic factors affecting drug metabolism.
The conversation discusses using topical liposomal finasteride for hair loss, with concerns about high DHTlevels. The user's DHTlevel is above the normal range, which may affect hair health.
A 26-year-old male with high testosterone is experiencing diffuse hair thinning despite using a comprehensive treatment regimen including dutasteride, oral minoxidil, RU58841, ketoconazole shampoo, microneedling, and low-level laser therapy. Suggestions include adjusting dutasteride dosage, monitoring iron levels, and consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation.
The effects of smoking cigarettes on DHTlevels and its potential effect on hair loss, with some people sharing experiences in relation to their own hair loss. Various treatments for reducing or reversing hair loss were discussed, such as quitting smoking, minoxidil, finasteride and RU58841.
Serum DHT is mostly inactive; sebum DHT is a better measure for hair loss. Users discuss using finasteride, dutasteride, and topical treatments like KX826 and RU58841 for better scalp DHT suppression.
The user has been using dutasteride and finasteride but still experiences hair loss and high DHTlevels. They plan to try topical finasteride and RU58841 while continuing dutasteride to see if topicals are more effective.
The conversation discusses the ineffectiveness of tablet forms of dutasteride for hair loss due to poor absorption compared to soft gel capsules. It suggests switching to FDA-approved soft gel capsules for better results, as tablets may not adequately suppress DHTlevels.
The conversation discusses why DHT (dihydrotestosterone) negatively affects scalp hair but promotes growth elsewhere on the body. Various opinions include genetic predispositions, differences in hair follicle reactions to DHT, and the potential role of Omega-3 in reducing inflammation and promoting hair health.
Reducing scalp DHT doesn't directly correlate with preventing hair miniaturization, as different follicles have varying sensitivity levels. Dutasteride at 0.5 mg and 2.5 mg shows minimal visual difference in hair regrowth, with side effects being a consideration for higher doses.
Dutasteride significantly reduces DHTlevels in hair follicles, potentially more effectively than previously thought. The discussion highlights differences in DHT measurements and the impact on hair loss treatment.
The user has low testosterone and DHTlevels and is considering taking finasteride for Norwood 2 hair loss with diffuse thinning. They are seeking advice on whether low DHT indicates high sensitivity to DHT in the scalp and opinions on their lab values.
Trans women discuss using finasteride and dutasteride for hair loss and whether to continue after testosterone suppression. One user reduced dutasteride dosage after achieving undetectable testosterone levels.
The conversation discusses using homemade topical finasteride for hair loss, showing an increase in DHTlevels despite treatment. The user applies 0.125mg daily, resulting in 113.4% of previous DHTlevels.
The conversation discusses the use of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors like finasteride and dutasteride for hair loss in transgender women, particularly in relation to testosterone suppression. The original poster has been using dutasteride and is considering stopping it due to undetectable testosterone levels.
A user discovered they have naturally low DHTlevels and is concerned about taking finasteride, which could further lower these levels. They are seeking advice on whether to proceed with the treatment given their hormone levels are within the normal range.
A user experienced accelerated hairline recession after adding dutasteride to their regimen of topical finasteride and minoxidil, despite reduced hair shedding. They were informed that ELISA testing for DHTlevels can be highly inaccurate.
The user is concerned about high DHTlevels despite using finasteride and dutasteride for hair loss, suggesting these treatments may not be effective. They plan to consult an endocrinologist and consider other antiandrogens, acknowledging potential side effects.
The conversation discusses the use of topical finasteride for hair loss, with the user considering whether oral finasteride might be more effective in reducing DHTlevels. Other users suggest alternatives like dutasteride, RU58841, saw palmetto, and a combination of Redensyl, Procapil, and Capixyl, while debating the effectiveness and side effects of these treatments.
