5 / 27 resultscommunity Is it sufficient to block scalp DHT topically, or is it also necessary to reduce serum DHT? (My Question is Elaborated Below)
Topical finasteride can be as effective as oral finasteride for hair regrowth with fewer systemic side effects, but precise dosing is essential. Combining oral dutasteride with topical finasteride is not recommended due to dutasteride's stronger inhibition.
community Dutasteride thins eyebrows and facial hair but doesn't stop scalp loss.
Dutasteride may not effectively stop scalp hair loss and can cause thinning of facial and body hair, including eyebrows. Users suggest considering other causes like autoimmune conditions or vitamin deficiencies and exploring treatments like finasteride or minoxidil.
community Sugar and Hair loss connections
High sugar diets may worsen hair loss by increasing 5α-reductase activity and androgen levels, especially in women with PCOS. A low sugar diet might reduce scalp DHT levels, similar to finasteride, but genetics also significantly influence hair loss.
community So we’re just ok with taking a research chemical now?
The conversation discusses the use of RU58841, a non-FDA approved research chemical for hair loss, with mixed opinions on its safety and effectiveness. Some users are willing to try it as a last resort after other treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride failed, while others express concerns about potential long-term side effects and lack of official research.
community Evolution theory: AGA is your body trying to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by exposing your scalp to more UV
Androgenic alopecia (AGA) might have evolved to reduce prostate cancer risk by increasing UV exposure to the scalp, but this theory is debated. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are used for AGA, though the exact causes and evolutionary reasons for hair loss are unclear.
