Some men inherit a strong forelock and then bald around it as is the case in this man. The forelock was not genetically sensitive to his DHT but not the hair around it nor behind it. He is lucky that these impacted hairs responded to finasteride and minoxidil.
This is a good response to topical minoxidil
Great result with the topical minoxidil and finasteride combination.
Sub-lingual just makes it get into your body faster. No need for speed. As minoxidil is an antihypertensive medication, it might give you more side effects taken sub-lingual.
So many men do not want to show any part of their face, not even their eyebrows to remain anonymous. I keep telling them that do bring value, I need to see some photos to show the balding and one of them should be a frontal view with the hair pulled back and the eyebrows […]
This man lost hair to the side and around his forelock, a very common pattern for hair loss. The forelocks have a different genetic code and often hold as the hair around it is lost as in this man. The combined finasteride and minoxidil seems to restore the hair around the forelock.
Amazing frontal hairline regrowth.
Hand swelling might indicate you are overdosing on minoxidil. The proper oral dose should start at 1.25mg and possibly go up to 2.5mg, never higher or the risk of swelling around your heart is there if you overdose. 8 or 9mgs could kill you if you develop a cardiac tomponade.
Hair length alone can not produce such a dramatic effect in this 27 year old male. Great result. The frontal hairline is less sensitive to these treatments in this man. You would have to keep up the combined minoxidil and finasteride treatment after the hair transplant to maintain the gains you made in the top […]
25 year old male has doubled up taking both oral and topical minoxidil. There is NO GOOD REASON to do both, as this increases the incidence of side effects from systemic minoxidil overdosage. The oral alone would have given this man the same effect without topical minoxidil. I just has a patient who got cardiac […]
You can see the new growth where the arrows are pointing
Amazing response!
Will starting minoxidil worsen my natural hair? Do the minoxidil supported hairs steal nutrients from weaker non minoxidil supported ones – meaning if you stop minox you’ll be bellow starting baseline or am I mistaken? I am already on 1.25 fin EOD so in theory my existing hairline should maintain/not effected by MPB. Thank you in […]
