Finasteride blocks the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone to DHT. By reducing DHT levels, it addresses the upstream hormonal trigger of androgenetic alopecia. The 2023 CXXC5 study actually demonstrate…

Minoxidil works primarily as a vasodilator, increasing blood flow to hair follicles. It does not address the Wnt pathway, CXXC5 suppression, or the DHT-PGD2 cascade. Its mechanism is fundamentally different from PTD-DBM…
