5 / 1000+ resultscommunity 2 year progress on Min + Fin; transplant possible?
An 18-year-old has been using minoxidil and finasteride for hair loss since age 15, recently adding dutasteride and GHK-Cu, but sees no significant improvement and is considering a hair transplant. Concerns are raised about using hormone suppressors at a young age, with suggestions to explore other treatments like dermarolling, diet changes, and checking for deficiencies.
community Why is scalp DHT suppression lower than systemic?
Dutasteride reduces DHT more effectively in hair follicles than finasteride, but some individuals still experience hair loss despite treatment. Combining oral and topical finasteride may improve results, and some users experiment with topical dutasteride despite uncertainties about its absorption.
community Finasteride and “anti-aging” effects
Finasteride may help users look younger by suppressing DHT, affecting skin and hair. Users also emphasize skincare, sunscreen, and lifestyle for maintaining a youthful appearance.
community how about progesterone cream?
Progesterone cream might help with hair loss by inhibiting DHT production and suppressing prolactin, which can increase DHT. Some dermatologists have used progesterone for hair loss treatment, and it has been effective, sometimes combined with minoxidil, finasteride, and hydrocortisone.
community Should I start Fin with these blood tests?
A 25-year-old male with normal hormone levels is considering starting finasteride and minoxidil for hair loss but is concerned about high estradiol levels and potential side effects. Responses vary, with some suggesting blood tests before starting treatment and others emphasizing individual tolerance and the importance of consulting a doctor.
