Maybe, but if your goal is to keep your hairline in the exact same place, as you age, that's going to be difficult even with finasteride or dutasteride.
What about Ru-5 to fight the testosterone on the scalp. Do you think that will do it?
Really? What state is ur hair in?
I don't know I haven't tried RU, but it would depend on whether you want to be shackled to applying it continually from this point on, just to try and recover an extra 5mm of hairline.
Hairline is receding fast and thinning all over the scalp. Dutasteride and oral minoxidil are usseles at least for me.
Sorry to hear that friend. Sounds like it’ll need to be a transplant
I can´t get a transplant. First I am too young for a transplant, second you cant transplant a diffuse thinner that hasn't stabilized his hair loss. Can't do sh*t at this ponit. I'm just praying for Pyrilutamide to work alongside dutasteride to finally stop this sh*t. If it doesn't work, I'm fucked forever and with an asymmetrical head, it won't be very nice....
Isn't 2.5mg dutasteride too much? I'm thinking on increasing it to 1mg but 2.5 are 5 pills of avodart. Sounds crazy.
I wouldn’t do it personally but some people do it.
I'm desperate but I don't know if I would do it. I'm gonna rise it to 1mg then see how it goes.
Thats because dutasteride at 0.5mg only blocks 50% of scalp dht. You litteraly got 50% that Still sits around on your scalp and eats your hair away lmao.
Wouldnt needling and applying dutasteride topically aswell help? I think my scalp itches more ever since dropping topical dutasteride but it could just be in my head. I used both Topical and oral dutasteride before quit topical 2 weeks ago. Shedding is same.
I know, Im gonna try 1mg. How much scalp dht does it suppress at 1 mg?
Around 57 or 58% only. Just needled with 1.5mm and applied dutasteride topically gonna do this once weekly. Dutasteride got over 500 daltons so u need to needle for it to even reach the folicles.
It probably does reduce scalp DHT a bit more when used together, yes. We just don’t have a study to tell us, but I suspect there is improvement.
Can I use a needle with 1mm depth? I've tried with 1.5mm and it is very painful for me, because I already have trichodynia, so my scalp hurts 24/7. It is more efficient to do that instead, because is only once a week and you dont have to waste 2 pills every day.
Is there any study that proves how genes impact on the efficacy of dutasteride/finasteride. It would be interesting to read. Btw my case is kinda hard because treatment did work at first but it stopped to work 6 months ago. I suspect the gains were due to oral minoxidil, because I started dutasteride 2 months before oral minoxidil and I saw no improvents on hair thinning or density till i added oral minoxidil, when I added it, hair started to grow again, but now androgens could be killing the follicles even tho I'm on a higher dose of oral minoxidil than I was when I first started.
