Okay guys, time for me to swallow a little pride and let you all in on a little experiment I tried with spironolactone.
Not sure if any of you remember but three months ago I very hypothetically asked this forum about spironolactone. Well, spironolactone supposedly inhibits DHT synthesis in the applied area. DHT causes hair LOSS in male pattern baldness areas, and conversely, DHT speeds up and enhances the growth of body hair on the back and other places. Well, my hypothetical question a few months ago was, "if I put spironolactone on my body hair, will it thin it out just as
spironolactone thickens hair in male pattern baldness areas?"
So, just as an experiment, I tried something. My eyebrows over the last few years have gotten a bit thicker and longer and coarser. Nothing big, but it along with my chest hair are signs of DHT's effect on my body. So, just as an experiment I started applying spironolactone to my eyebrows every evening. I am using 2%, every night. And guess what... after 3 months, my eyebrows are thin and trim and no sign of coarseness except for a few remaining renegade hairs. Proof enough for me that spironolactone works.
Those of you older folks out there like me who are concerned about thickening eyebrow hairs should TRY it! It works! No sh*t.
