Anyone else experiencing thinning hair on TRT? Or is this just what was going to happen to me anyways as I age?

I think that I am genetically predisposed for male pattern baldness and there is no marker that I am aware of that direct my hair loss/thinning to my trt protocol, however, I do believe there is a contributing factor involved.

I have increased the vitamin intake for hair as well as having started micro infusion with AlphaInfuse and Novamane. Previously I was using a dermaroller and topical application of GHK-CU

The majority of sides when using exogenous T are the result of running too high an trough/steady-state FT level let alone when it comes to cosmetic sides such as oily skin/acne, excessive body hair, MPB, gynecomastia your genetics will have the final say.

Keep in mind when it comes to MPB/AGA your chance of accelerating such when using exogenous T comes down to genetics and sensitivity of the AR/hair follices to DHT.

Important point often overlooked here is that high DHT is not always needed as again it comes down to the sensitivity of the AR/hair follices to DHT.

MPB is genetic and regardless of whether one is on T-theray or natty it is inevitable and will happen at a certain time point in ones life.

Some experience it in their early 20s whereas in others it will not start until decades later.

Testosterones metabolite dht plays a big role here but it really comes down to the sensitivity of ones AR to dht and ones threshold as balding can happen even in genetically prone individuals with lower dht levels.

Testosterone use/abuse can speed up the process in genetically prone individuals.
