Anti Androgens And Body Hair Growth

[GoldenMane]

Has anyone noticed a difference in body/facial hair on finasteride or dutasteride? An increase/decrease or the same? My facial hair grows faster though not thicker and my arms/shoulders are becoming more hairy. Not sure what that means... Maybe it's normal or maybe it's androgen receptor upregulation. Or maybe just high follicle androgen sensitivity. Seems like the drugs are still working though, high shedding but mostly from the donor zone...

Testosterone is by far the most abundant male hormone and is absolutely a pretty big player in facial hair/body hair growth. Removing DHT I would expect to maybe prevent body hair/facial hair growth to some degree but only prevent it much like male pattern baldness. Once it starts removing DHT probably wont change much.
Now if you could remove/stop testosterone that would be interesting to see what happens to body hair. Just no way to do that maybe if you applied RU or CB to your facial hair or body hair and see what happens.
