Minoxidil and finasteride (photo)
I felt that the minoxidil was not working so I stopped it and added finasteride and dutasteride. Here are my 6 month results.
60% of men find that minoxidil will not work for them because their scalp lacks an enzyme that converts it into its active form. Taking oral minoxidil is not a problem as the liver converts it, and you get the full benefit of minoxidil. Finasteride, of course, is the standard for treatment of this problem. Side effects of minoxidil are important to read about. Your results are very nice. Keep it up. Mixing dutasteride and finasteride makes little sense to me. Finasteride has the advantage of its short half-life, while dutasteride can take a year to get out of your body. Because the frontal area didn’t reverse, I would add microneedling to it and I’ll bet you will get hair growth in the frontal area that is still bald.
