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 Estradiol mesotherapy / idea feedback
The conversation discusses using estradiol mesotherapy to replicate hormone replacement therapy results while minimizing systemic exposure. It also covers the use of Spironolactone cream, which reportedly has no systemic side effects, and the potential risks of using bicalutamide and Spironolactone in men.

community Ray Peat: Testosterone Isn’t the Culprit, Prolactin and Cortisol Drive Hair Loss (2016)
Prolactin and cortisol are identified as key factors in hair loss, with stress hormones impacting hair shedding. Finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments, while DHT's role and individual sensitivity are significant factors.
community Why does finasteride stop working?
Finasteride may seem less effective over time due to increased DHT sensitivity or aging, but it still suppresses DHT. Switching to dutasteride offers stronger DHT suppression but may increase estrogen levels.
