I have been using finasteride for a few years and saw no real regrowth but my hair loss was definitely stable. I started to incorporate 5% topical min 2 times a day and dermarolling once a week to go with my fin. It is clear to me that the microneedling is what brought your hair back, […]
I am very impressed at such results, especially the microneedling, which clearly kick-started this process. If you stay on the microneeding for at least one year, you should get even better resutls.
I’ve recently started topical finasteride. The point is that the solution, called Alocare, is at 2.275 mg/ml. The prescription states that only 4 sprays must be applied on daily basis, each one of them containing 0,114 mg of finasteride. Is it too low? Only 0.456mg are applied daily… Opinion? Is it useless? Your confusion is at the heart of […]
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 […]
These photos suggest that continued use will increase the benefits you are seeing. The suggestion from this photos is that the hair regrowth is heading in the right direction. You can add microneedling if it doesn’t respond and it may completely reverse the hair loss. How old are you?’
Nice early results suggest that you are getting some benefits. There is no point in using both topical and oral finasteride. The topical goes systemic so you might as well control what is happening to you. With the added topical finasteride, your systemic dose through the skin increases systemic levels more than you realize. Some […]
I’m 24 and have been on topical minoxidil and 0.3mg finasteride for 1 year now with no response. I’m depressed and see no future for myself. 60% of men will not respond to topical minoxidil. but 100% will respond to oral minoxidil. Men taking 0.3mg of finasteride are not getting the full benefit of this […]
Great results. Congrats! The dermaroller probably was the most positive of the three things you used that reversed the hair loss. How long did it take you to get this result?
Even older men in the 30-50 age range can respond to a combination of minoxidil and finasteride. You can see the gray hair just emerging.
These drugs will give you even more hair in the next 6 months. Keep on your routine!
I’m on finasteride and topical minoxidil for 10 weeks, thoughts? Nice early growth; however, you must give it more time. These new hairs are short, and if they grow out as expected, it will grow out at a rate of 1/2 inch per month. Arrows show early growth
Although this man did not show us comparable photos, the gains were still evident. I show these photos to encourage those of you who are balding and are afraid to try these medications. They work. The photo on the left is after treatment.
This is an amazing result. I tell all of my patients to try to work through medications before diving into a hair transplant. If he stays on this, he will likely keep his hair for a long time.
