5 / 1000+ resultscommunity 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 Efficacy and Systemic DHT Suppression of Topical Finasteride vs Dutasteride
Topical dutasteride may have limited absorption due to its higher molecular mass compared to finasteride, potentially affecting its efficacy in suppressing DHT locally. Microneedling might enhance dutasteride absorption, possibly offering stronger local DHT suppression with fewer systemic effects.
community Any treatment not nuking systemic DHT levels?
Hair loss treatments that avoid significantly lowering systemic DHT levels, focusing on topical options like dutasteride mesotherapy, minoxidil, and ketoconazole. The user is exploring alternatives like KX-826 and RU58841 due to concerns about hormone levels.
community Napkin math: are we using 100x more topical finasteride than necessary?
Topical finasteride concentrations are likely much higher than necessary for effective follicular DHT suppression, with current standards being 100-1000 times above the theoretical minimum. Lower concentrations (0.001-0.0025%) might still work locally while minimizing systemic exposure.
community Propylene Glycol vs Glycerin in topical finasterside?
Switching from propylene glycol to glycerin in topical finasteride may reduce systemic absorption and side effects while maintaining local scalp DHT suppression. Concerns exist about glycerin's ability to deliver the full dose to hair follicles.
