DHT GEL: THE ULTIMATE PUBERTYMAXING TOOL (youngcels gtfih)

[Leopold_]

Whats wrong? Dont you want to look like saint hamudi? Hes a high dht male!

Luckily for me, there is no hairloss in the past 3 generations of men in my family, so DHTmaxing is very viable.

Good thread honestly people hating for no reason

But the applying it specifically to certain bone areas is dumb, should only be used on the scrotum

 

[slaters]

Lol, so you understand the potential of DHT gel for locally growing bones.applying on the clavicles could work because they have lots of androgen receptors, but you shouldn't expect any lengthening; perhaps only thickening or masculinizing. that's what DHT does.

About suppressing my natural testosterone, there are 2 main things that you need to understand:

1) in studies of older men using 50mg/day long term, and applying it on large areas like forearms and shoulders, their T was suppressed by 40-50%. In our case, we will use much lower doses, of 10-20mg DHT, and the application will be small. This should significantly reduce all T suppression.

2) the second thing you should understand, that may sound weird at first, is that T suppression is actually not a big deal at all, and may make us grow taller. For context, I am: using HGH to drive bone and tissue growth, using an Arimidex to block estrogen and reduce GP fusion, and taking low-dose Proviron, which may slightly suppress T but compensates with high AR activation systemically.
So within this context, if my T drops, I won't lose height gains (rather help preserve height with less aromatization), I won't lose masculinity (because DHT itself is doing the androgen work), and I won't need to run a full PCT because of the low and controlled dosages, allowing my body to easily recover naturally.

Are you nuking estrogen? Or staying at the lower range of ideal?

nuking it, but using Arimidex, not Aromasin. it doesn't cross the blood brain barrier so much less risks. Also working with a real endocrinologist, and 1mg/day is what I've been prescribed.

Thank you bhai, but targeted application on facial bones is the entire point of this thread JFL. Did you read the whole post? Don't you agree that it has potential?

what do you think about anastrozole? 1mg daily could be enough to crash estrogen?

Has potential, but if you put it on your face you might get crazy fucking acne, burns, etc

yes, I use 1mg arimidex daily. it will reduce your estrogen by 80-90%.

cream formulation should be gentler on the skin. it's usually just aloe vera and DHT. Acne is the biggest risk, but good nutrition and skincare should mitigate most of it. I will see as I go.

I don’t know man, we don’t know if it will be local on the facial bones like the scrotum, the tissue is ta lot thinner.

Most likely most of its gonna go systemic and suppress your test levels, so your gonna need a test base atleast

 

[AverageCurryEnjoyer]

could you make gel with masteron because I have 2 vials of masteron lying around and I dont know what to do with it. Im going to be 17 in a few months btw. Already on 200mg if test E every week and var. Also take 4ius hgh eveeyday and 12.5mg aromasin on pin days

Explain yourself with arguments. I have provided evidence for how DHT gel could be extremely effective. This stuff legitimately has a ton of potential.

I read through orcs post about this btw

some level of systemic DHT absorption and the following T suppression is going to be inevitable. However, the areas of application (jaw, chin, cheekbones, voice box) have high concentrations of androgen receptors. the body already wants to respond there. This will lower the risk.

also, as I said earlier, slightly suppressed T levels are not a problem at all. Copy pasted:

Already using 2% Ketoconazole shampoo on the scalp, but I'm also going to use it as a face mask 1-2x/week. this should reduce DHT activity on the skin and possibly help with induced hormonal acne, without penetrating into the bone where we want the AR activation

formulating dht cream.

I am not a medical professional don't take me seriously, these are just schizo ramblings, but I hope they are useful to someone. considering dht cream is just straight up impossible to get in the US I figured I'd write a guide on it, since a lot of people want to use this for bottom growth once...

Hey guys, in this post, we are going to talk about Topical DHT and its application on facial bones during puberty to enhance androgenic development. This topic is surrounded by misconceptions and is often mocked on this forum. Hopefully, I will clear these misconceptions and convince you that DHT gel is the best (and safest) looksmaxing tool outside of heightmaxing for those of us in puberty.

READ THE WHOLE THING YOU INCELS IT TOOK ME 3 HOURS TO TYPE!!


Introduction:

As looksmaxers during the pubertal window, our goals should be:

• Maximize height with HGH + AI (water)
• Softmax and gymmax (more water)
• Maximize androgenicity without sacrificing height gains: a more difficult and controversial topic.

DHT is king for androgenic development:

• It is the main driver for the development of male secondary traits, such as brow ridge, jawline, cheekbones, voice deepening, and libido….
• It is 2-3x more androgenic than testosterone and does not aromatize.

Our goal is to optimize the androgen receptors in these dimorphic areas during development with DHT so that we can look more masculine for the rest of our lives.


Topical DHT is a unique and effective solution that can provide targeted and extremely powerful androgenic effects exactly where we want them.



The evidence:

• Pediatric endocrinology has used topical DHT gel (e.g., Andractim) in small doses to treat micropenis and pubertal delays—with strong local effect and minimal systemic interference at low doses.

https://www.researchgate.net/public...fore_during_and_after_puberty_-_A_case_series

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10619192/

• FTM transgender case studies show localized DHT application leads to clitoral enlargement, suggesting direct tissue growth at application sites.

https://www.folxhealth.com/library/testosterone-bottom-growth
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/andr.13016


While human data on aesthetics is limited, the biology makes sense—DHT-sensitive tissues remain responsive during late puberty, especially under the influence of growth hormone (HGH) and IGF-1.



Potential systemic absorption: why it's unlikely and not a problem anyway:

• Topical DHT can enter the bloodstream, mainly when applied to large surface areas or thin skin.
• In studies of older men using 50mg/day Andractim, serum testosterone was suppressed by up to 40–50% over time.
• Small-area facial or laryngeal use (10–20mg/day) will likely result in drastically less systemic absorption.

You might find this counterintuitive at first, but we are not actually relying on testosterone for our goals of androgenicity. Since we are already blocking estrogen (with an AI) and boosting GH and IGF-1 (with HGH), the temporary suppression of testosterone (which would normally be aromatized into estrogen and potentially fuse growth plates) is not only non-problematic, it may actually help preserve your height potential.

Remember: our goal during puberty is strictly to maximize androgenicity and height. Post-puberty, we will shift towards a different protocol focused on muscle hypertrophy like Test and Masteron.

Anyway, if you want to minimize systemic absorption, you should make sure to apply to a limited surface area, avoid application to broken or irritated skin, and use cream-based formulations for slower absorption.



Comparing Topical DHT to other androgenic interventions:

• Proviron: doesn’t aromatize, works systemically, and has little to no natural T suppression. It is best used for systemic androgen support.
• Testosterone: aromatizes, works systemically, and has strong natural T suppression. It is best used post-puberty for its broad anabolic and androgenic benefits.
• Masteron / DHT analogs: doesn’t aromatize, works systemically, strong natural T suppression. Best used for post-puberty dimorphism.

DHT gel is the only option that offers local androgenic stimulation with minimal estrogenic or anabolic consequences, making it uniquely positioned for facial development during puberty.


The protocol:


a) cream vs. gel:

Creams (typically 5-10% DHT) are more ideal than gels (2.5-5%) because they are gentler and have a slower absorption. The only caveat is that they take longer to dry.


b) application sites:

• Jawline & Ramus: Apply from the chin to the angle of the mandible
• Chin: Apply to increase projection
• Cheekbones: Over the zygomatic arch (light layer, watch out for the eye area)
• Brow Ridge: This is optional. It is a slower-growing area that settles earlier in development and is less malleable.
• Throat / Larynx: Over Adam’s apple to support voice deepening
• Nipples (Gyno treatment): Apply directly to the areola and surrounding gland

c) timing:

1-2x daily: morning or evening.
Apply after cleansing on dry skin
Wait for it to dry before applying other skincare
THOROUGHLY WASH YOUR HANDS



Conclusion:

Topical DHT gel is a scientifically justified, mechanistically sound, and strategically promising option for those pursuing facial masculinization, voice deepening, and selective androgenic enhancement during puberty. Compared to systemic steroids or testosterone, it offers targeted tissue activation without the estrogenic drawbacks.

When used correctly, it supports jaw, chin, and throat development, can help reduce pubertal gynecomastia, and poses no risk of systemic suppression or height loss (especially with estrogen blockade).



Final notes (important):

• DHT gel or cream should be paired with HGH and an AI for a complete puberty-maxing stack.
• MK-677 is optional, I use it.
• It can be complemented with Proviron (25mg) for systemic androgenic tone; I use it. You can check out my thread on Proviron here: https://looksmax.org/threads/high-effort-proviron-a-deep-dive-into-the-most-underrated-and-safest-pubertymaxxing-compound-youngcels-gtfih.1356880/
• Make sure to use 2% ketoconazole shampoo 3x/week for DHT-related scalp protection, and if you are more prone to balding, consider RU58841. Do not take Finasteride or Dutasteride until after puberty because they directly go against everything we are trying to accomplish in our androgenic puberty.

[Leopold_]

@Leopold_ ok, but, what is the advantage of dht gel over roids like var and nandrolone

the advantage is extremely clear. instead of taking roads that can have lifelong consequences, and gambling with a possibly weak AR activation where we want it (jaw, chin, cheekbones, Adam's apple), we can target it these points directly from the outside, resulting in much more AR activation where we want it, while keeping side effects infinitely lower than any other steroids

 

[Leopold_]

care to elaborate

For some reason everyone thinks Aromasin is better when Arimidex is what is used in every single endocrinology study and has much more research backing it up. In these studies, they always use a dose of 1mg Arimidex, effectively nuking the estrogen by 80-90%. The difference between Asin and Adex is that Adex is hydrophilic, which means that it can't cross the blood brain barrier. This means that there will still be a normal amount of aromatase enzymes and estrogen in the brain, and therefore less psychological side effects and less brain risks during development

androgens dont work without estrogens

bro, what? JFL. DHT does not require conversion to estrogen, it just binds to the androgen receptor and can have all of its masculinizing effects without it.

I'm doing proviron for systemic, and dht gel for local. Dht gel mostly goes systemic if applied to large surface areas like the forearms for example. A ton of systemic absorption can be minimized by startegically placing small amounts in areas with high levels of ARs. Cream formulations of topical DHT can minimize systemic absorption even further. Also, as I said earlier, if following my full puberty protocol, T suppression is not a bad thing anyway.

Isn’t proviron too weak ?

 

[Leopold_]

Isn’t proviron too weak ?

You definitely won't see overnight results, but a low dose of Proviron taken long-term has potential to be extremely effective, as well as being the obvious choice when considering safety during the pubertal window. I wouldn't advise anything else, and a stronger protocol can be adopted after growth plates have fused.
