community Summaries of Finasteride Studies
Finasteride is effective in promoting hair growth and reversing hair miniaturization in men with androgenetic alopecia, with improvements seen in various studies over different durations. Some users report initial side effects like ball ache, which often resolve as the body adjusts.
community Can hair thinning be reversed?
The conversation is about the effectiveness of Dutasteride (Dut) and Minoxidil (Min) in reversing hair thinning. The user has been using Dut for 3 months and Min for a couple of years, and while hair fall has reduced, thinning continues. Other users suggest that Dut can reverse hair thinning over time, possibly beyond a year, and the outcome depends on individual body reactions and the degree of hair miniaturization.
community Shiseido (RepliCel) likely to cost around $1000
RepliCel's potential hair loss treatment may cost around $1000 and aims to protect hair follicles from DHT, possibly reversing some miniaturization. It is not considered a cure and may be most effective in early hair loss stages, with its main advantage over finasteride being the lack of sexual side effects.
community Finasteride 1 mg daily vs Dutasteride 0.5 mg daily
Switching from finasteride 1mg daily to dutasteride 0.5mg daily may offer better hair regrowth. However, if finasteride is effective, fully switching to dutasteride is not advised; instead, adding dutasteride once a week could be beneficial.
