I've read a lot about specific drugs preventing DHT from binding to the androgen receptors in the scalp/hair follicle, but are there any known treatments that actually reduce the number of androgen receptors themselves?..And is it possible that the body may generate more receptors to compensate when beginning a medication like finasteride or dutasteride?
For example- when I initially began using Avodart I had very good results, even noticeable within the first month. However, the results have already slowly began to taper off. By all accounts, my DHT levels must be fairly low based on all the Avodart I've ingested. So why would my hair continue to thin in such a short period of time? This leads me to believe that more androgen receptors are attaching to my hair follicles resulting in even small amounts of DHT attacking my scalp
Any ideas?
