Do DHT blockers work?

DHT (dihydrotestosterone) blockers are medications or natural supplements that can help reduce the production of DHT, a hormone that can contribute to hair loss in both men and women. The effectiveness of DHT blockers can vary depending on the individual, the severity of hair loss, and the underlying cause of hair loss.

Some studies have shown that DHT blockers, such as finasteride and dutasteride, can be effective at promoting hair growth in men with male pattern baldness. These medications work by blocking the conversion of testosterone to DHT, which can slow down or even reverse hair loss.

Other DHT blockers, such as minoxidil, work by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles and stimulating hair growth. Saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil are natural supplements that are sometimes used as DHT blockers, but their effectiveness has not been as extensively studied as prescription medications.

It is important to note that DHT blockers may not work for everyone, and they can have side effects. It is best to talk to a healthcare provider like Evolved Hair Clinic before starting any new medication or supplement to determine the underlying cause of hair loss and explore treatment options.
