[QUOTE="Appassionato, post: 147607, member: 37892"] Problem is hair loss is a multi-faceted issue and one of the first symptoms something is going wrong within the body. Reason why most of the treatments fail is that they tend to cure one of the consequences, not the root of the problem, which is hormonal. The best example is the DHT accumulation in the scalp, which is a defensive mechanism the body has in order to provide relief to inflamed tissues. Same process has been observed in inflamed prostrates, which were having an accumulation of local DHT. So everyone went down on demonizing DHT, that has an anti-inflammatory property, but at the same time contribute to the calcification of tissues in the scalp. That's why finasteride works at stopping hair loss, but doesn't provide any regrowth. You castrate yourself with it, taking down 80% of your serum DHT that won't be able to contribute to calcification in the scalp anymore, but the inflammation and the calcification are still there, hence no re-growth. And this is when the DHT myth started, despite the fact everyone in the hair loss business is omitting the fact that there's no difference in DHT serum levels between balding and non-balding people. That's an interesting article which explains why hair loss is a complete reversible phenomenon: [URL="https://perfecthairhealth.com/trans-hormone-replacement-therapy-hair-regrowth/"]Exactly How Trans Hormone Replacement Therapy Regrows Hair (Photos)[/URL] Transgender people have been able to regrow their hairs completely, going from an [U]unhealthy male[/U] hormonal profile (low T/ high E2 and prolactin) to a [U]healthy woman[/U] hormonal profile. Obviously there are a cascade of bad emotional and physical consequences to that, but it's interesting in terms of hair loss. By the way, what are your E2, prolactin, cortisol and aldosterone values?
