5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Do hair follicles ever really "die"? Or does all your front, mid, and crown hair just become vellus?
Hair follicles don't truly die but become severely miniaturized. Treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil can help restore hair by providing nutrients and reducing harmful effects on hair roots.
community DHT reduction in the scalp for all doses of dutasteride is now available.
Higher doses of dutasteride reduce scalp DHT more effectively than finasteride, but have diminishing returns after 3mg daily and may cause more side effects. Combining dutasteride with topical minoxidil can enhance results, but using both finasteride and dutasteride together is unnecessary.
