MY TWIN BROTHER DIDN’T TAKE DUTASTERIDE FOR TREATING HAIR LOSS AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM…
Hey guys what’s going on welcome to another video on my channel here lucy if you guys are new to the channel please make sure to subscribe so that guys are updated on hair loss and hair transplant topics as well as updates on current hair loss treatments in the pipelines visit my website at hairliciousd.com to purchase your micro needle device which is scientifically
Proven to stimulate hair growth my lower level laser therapy cap the hd viking shampoo conditioner and serum hair with vitamins and a few other products to help those who are losing hair so in today’s video i wanted to talk to you more about the use of dutasteride aka avatar for the treatment of androgenic alopecia as you may know dutasteride is a much more potent
Form of a five alpha ductus inhibitor compared to finasteride and it will wipe over 90 percent plus of systemic ph levels in the body people who are taking it who end up getting blood work to see where their systemic dht levels are at usually report close to 100 suppression with you know some people’s levels so low that it doesn’t even show up so it is very
Potent and it will more than likely take you back to your pre-puberty levels um so i actually came across this website a few years back which is now archived but i really never got a chance to do a video on it uh but basically twins hairloss.com features identical twins who were afflicted with genetic hair loss one of the twins decided to take action and take
Oral to test ride while the other didn’t at least not initially and the results you know not surprisingly were just so drastic between the two in terms of hair regrowth and density and studies like this are pretty rare you don’t see too many twins who have genetic hair loss with you know one taking medication and the other not taking anything and this really
Gives us the opportunity to visually see how good five alpha reductase inhibitors really work for most people usually we can’t really tell how the hair would look like if you didn’t start finasteride or task so moving over the website um it says since my twin brother twin a on the left of all photos started showing signs of baldness 2003 he has treated his hair
With a whole variety of products fortunately he has managed to prevent his hair thinning that i have experienced by taking a dh debucker known as dutastride i with twin b on the right of all photographs didn’t try anything up until january 2010 to prevent losing my hair not intentionally and the results are clear to see so the first set of photos was taken in
2013 as dated and you guys can clearly see that the twin on the left had started to test right in 2003 on the first onset of initial hair loss while the one on the right didn’t take it until 2010 so that’s nearly seven years of being on the task right for the non-balding twin um and this photo here depicts what the twin on the left could have looked like had
He delayed his treatment until 2010 like his twin brother has and this is key because you know the earlier that you guys start treatment the easier it is to stop the progression of hair loss or at least slow it down the twin on the right started his treatment years and years after he had already experienced moderate hair loss and you know this photo here shows
The limitations of even something like has potent sdht um you know as a 200 star treatment later down the road still is far behind the first and shows that hair loss that is still more extensive can sometimes never return back to baseline even on something like i said as ponex test ride while the twin brother who took it earlier on the first onset of hair loss
Was able to uh reverse his miniaturization and retain most of his hair now this next photo was taken in 2009 and you can see how much ground the twin on the right has lost as a result of not starting you know hair loss medication we can see some pretty extensive hair loss on the upper mid scalp and crown area whereas antoine on the left who had taken the test
Right for the past six years showed no signs of any miniaturization it might look like the twin on the left has some slight thinning kind of like the crown area but you know it’s absolutely nothing in comparison to his balding twin brother so here’s a better shot of the crown area and we can see the extent of the thinning now moving on we can see the frontal um
The hairline area for both twins with the photo taken in 2009 once again the twin on the right side of this photo was not on the test ride while the one on the left was taking uh to test ride and it’s crazy to see you know a side by side comparison of how the hairline could have looked like for the twin who had started treatment in 2003. the one on the left is
Literally like a nord one now and at this point there is no signs of hair loss anywhere on the scalp whereas the one on the right has a receding hairline you know he has staining on the mid scalp and the crown area and due to the extensive nature of his hair loss i would probably place them you know somewhere around the nord five and word six and then the last
Set of photos here show some with the twins in their childhood to illustrate you know i guess that they both had the same amount of hair throughout their teens and early adulthood however like their father as you guys can see baldness was soon knocking on the door and one of the twins decided to let hair loss take over while the other prevented it by taking
Dutasteride um he further mentions quote unquote we are the only identical twins in the world to have tested dutasteride for use in hair loss prevention for as long as five years with one twin taking the drug once a day and the other foregoing any substance or method to preventing thinning that was an accidental trial because i didn’t really think at the time
That there was a viable solution out there so just ignore the problem the result the results my twin brother had experienced had been incredible which is why i wanted to share this experience with everyone as i mentioned the test was purely accidental and not deliberate my twin brother was more concerned with his hair loss at the time than i was with mine it took
Me a further five years to actually be concerned enough to act when my bald spot became a lot more prevalent i’m sure most men are like me you know they wait for clear confirmation that something is happening and then they decide to act as opposed to listening and um to uh and dealing with the problem early on however the truth is even though i am bothered that
My twin brother in case you fail to see the relevance in me and my brother being twins i will explain further we are monozygotic twins which means identical twins who virtually have identical dna there is some possibility that we may have variations in cnv which is copy number variation in a few areas but on the whole um our makeup is the same therefore we are
Both prone to the effects of male pattern hair loss however early on in the process of twin ace hair loss he started using dutasteride to combat his receding hairline this is why he shows only small signs on the crown of his head and none on the front my hair receding on the other hand progressed at a normal rate all other factors in our life remain the same we
Both did sports regularly shared similar diets and grew up in the same environment now i was actually able to find a study that was published back in 2007 it’s titled dutasteride improves male pattern hair loss in a randomized study in identical twins so the objective was that the study compared the efficacy of detasteride versus placebo in the treatment of male
Pattern hair loss android alpesia in 17 pairs of identical twin mills so that’s that’s a lot um with android alopecia over a one year period in this randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled single center study one twin from each identical twin pair received 0.5 milligrams per day for 12 months while the other received placebo for 12 months hair growth was
Evaluated using standardized clinical photographs hair count and patient self assessment questionnaires the result due task right significantly improved hair growth at one year compared to placebo based on the analysis of the investigator assessment and the patient self-assessment questionnaires 16 of the 17 twins complete the study of which 15 sets correctly
Predicted the use of dutasteride only one set could not determine the active drug from the placebo in conclusion through the use of identical twins this randomized trial provides evidence that dutaserite significantly reduces hair loss progression in men with male pattern hair loss so you know the study um further validates the experiment the twin cell from their
Use of tetastride dutastride however unfortunately is not fd approved for the treatment of hair loss in the us but if you go to places like china uh not japan and korea they actually have it approved for treating hair loss because of its greater efficacy than finasteride so most doctors will prescribe the test drive over finasteride and just like finasteride um
You know dutasteride has been used for treating large prostates for a couple decades now the good news is that there’s a lot of long-term studies on the test direct that confirm you know things like the safety profile and efficacy and the use of detachable for treating hair loss side effects do exist like they deal with any other drug but the minority of users
Who experience it are able to reverse it after cessation of the drug you know anytime you are altering your hormonal profile with a 5ar inhibitor there’s always the potential to experience side effects so you know at the end of the day it really comes down to how much risk that each and every one of you are willing to take for the treatment of hair loss with a
Five alpha ductus inhibitor i’m not here to tell you guys what to take or not to take just laying out the facts that you know this drug is pretty efficacious in terms of blocking dht and even regrowing hair slowing down the progression of hair loss and promoting hair growth what i will say is that you know starting early is always key with any type of treatment
The sooner you start the better your chances of gaining the lost hair and even slowing down further progression of hair loss using other hair loss medications such as growth stimulants like minoxidil you know micro needling laser therapy anti-androgens is also going to be key in maximizing you know your potential by targeting hair loss through various mechanisms
Of action but i will say that you know most people who are taking one milligram of finasteride will be sufficient to slow down the progression of hair loss but studies do show that dutastride at 0.5 milligrams obviously works even better in terms of hair count as well as you know a higher efficacy in reversal of miniaturization than finasteride side effects for
Both finasteride and detasteride were pretty negligible and pretty similar and like i said most people who did experience them are able to reverse it after cessation of medication anyway you know that’s all i have in today’s video hope that was helpful kudos to the twins for showing us the efficacy of the task drive through their experiments and for documenting
Their journey over the past few years so thanks for watching guys thanks for all your support if you guys have any questions make sure to reach me via email or you can leave me some comments below and i will talk to you guys in my next video take care
