Just wanna start my first post by saying whats up everyone. Headed over here cuz I'm sick of the assholes over at mesomorphosis. Hope this place is better.
Anyways...
So Ive read over and over about the beneficial uses of TOPICAL spironolactone for regrowing hair/preventing scalp hair loss as it is an anti-andro.
(Key emphasis here that I'm not talking about oral, that shit doesn't sound like it would be too good for ur system)
From what i understand it works by binding to the 5AR receptor at the hair follicle, thereby competing with and blocking DHT to a point.
Now lets just assume that this is true, cuz i don't know for sure.
Ive also come to understand that body hair is brought about and nurtured by DHT.
So could anyone explain to me scientifically why using topical spiro on your body while cycling would not prevent the growth of new body hairs?
And if in this case it does actually do so, then i have one more question in mind.
Can it cause the retraction of body hair follicles, thereby reducing the amount of body hair one naturally has, or at least cause them to fall into dormancy?
The only reason that i can think of which would negate this idea would be that the hair follicles have already been created, and the lack of DHT will not suffice in allowing them to die. If such is the case, what if one were to destroy the hair follicles by means of laser hair removal, then immediately begin use of topical spire to prevent their regrowth?
Any experienced or professional advice on this would be really helpful to me, and I'm sure many many others as well.
