45, I wouldn't let troll behavior prevent you or anyone else from asking questions, it's being addressed.

-------------------------------------------

A number of factors actually, first being the amount you take. With that in mind YMWV as they say, meaning your metabolism. Short of a silva test, you can keep track of when you wax/shave and you'll have a better idea if it's working. I don't think an increase in SP or adding more DHT inhibitor supplements is necessary, perhaps quality over quantity can be an issue, I'd watch the foods you eat.

Also this one:

Phytosterols may inhibit the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, and block the production of DHT. You can obtain phytosterols through food sources, including wheat germ, sesame oil, corn oil, canola oil, peanuts, almonds, macadamia nuts, brussels sprouts, olive oil and rye bread.

There's a popular myth that shaving causes hair to grow back coarser," says dermatologist David Pariser, MD. "But that's not true. An unshaved hair has a tip that is tapered and soft. When you shave it, you shave off the soft tip, so it feels coarser."
--------------------------------------------
(Waxing)

Despite the initial ouch-factor, waxing is a quick way to remove facial hair, and you won't see regrowth for a few weeks. Apply the wax in the direction of hair growth and pull off the wax strip in the opposite direction as you hold the skin taut. Otherwise, you may not remove all the hair at once, and you could be left with inflammation. Try Clean+Easy Tea Tree Roll-On Wax, Veet Ready-to-Use Wax Strips for Face or Nair Face Wax Strips.

Possible side effects of waxing can be redness, bumps, and also an infection around the hair follicles. The more often you wax, the less likely you are to have an infection. Typically 3-6 weeks for results.

Tips: Hair has to be at least 1/4 inch long for the wax to grab it. So let your hair grow for a few weeks before waxing.

(Laser/Pulsed Light)

Destroys the roots with strong beams of light. ("Laser hair removal really is the most effective way to have long-term hair reduction," says dermatologist Cameron Rokhsar, MD. "It's as permanent as it gets.")

Best for: Laser and IPL (intense pulsed light) works anywhere on the body. It's best for women with dark hair and light skin. It won't work on white hair and doesn't work well on blond hair either.

How long it lasts: It may take between 6-12 treatments to see results. You may need to go back every 6-12 months for a touchup.

Possible side effects: Swelling or redness.

Because there's also a chance of burning and scarring, it's best to have laser treatments where there's a doctor on staff, Pariser says.

-----------------------------------

Cream depilatories work by breaking down the sulfur bond in the hair and dissolving it at the skin's surface, unlike wax, which pulls out hair at the roots. The benefits are that it doesn't hurt and the ingredients also work to exfoliate dead skin cells; the downside is that the hair grows back quickly. Dot the cream on your upper lip, in between your brows or on your chin and leave it on from three to 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Try Sally Hansen Pure Scent-sation Hair Remover for Face, Sally Hansen Insta-Smooth Pods or Nair Precision Face & Upper Lip Kit.
