This man stayed on the drug long enough to get Frontal hairline regrowth in the corners, not very common
I’ve gone from Norwood 2 to Norwood 3+ during this quarantine. My university is going to open up in a month or so and I am quite anxious. I don’t think hooping on the meds now would improve my situation so that nobody in university notices my hair loss. I feel that the best immediate solution is to get a hair system.
Wondering if I could use the meds – oral I presume, while using the hair system
Yes, you can take minoxidil and finasteride while you wear a hair system but much hair will be lost from traction alopecia from the glues and tapes used with the hair systems and that produces hair loss that does not come back with drug. Those that sell hair systems never tell you about the traction alopecia and how eventually you end up never really getting off of using these systems.
Dr Rassman I’m young with agressive AGA Norwood 5 and i need Finasteride it’s helped me for 4 years now. Do you think they will take it off the market? I’m really nervous I don’t want them to take it away from me! https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/group-sues-have-hair-loss-drug-propecia-pulled-market-2021-09-08/
I doubt it will come off the market anytime soon. Court battles like this take 20 years or so. This drug is also used for Prostate hypertrophy in men over 50, so I doubt it will even be pulled.
I wanted to show my results from the use of my oral minoxidil for 8 months. It improved my hairline to a almost a normal hairline without recession in the corners which plagued me before I took it. I wonder had this man had taken finasteride as well, if the forelock would have thickened up more and possibly the corner hairlines moved further down.
What did you look like when you were 13 or so. I’ll bet you had a full head of hair by then.
His Answer to my question: It’s definitely got better thankfully, hairline stayed the same but a lot of the blonde/whispy hairs thickened up and darkened a lot too, my hair is surprisingly better now at 23 than it was in this photo when I must’ve been around 7 or 8. This hairline is very high for an 8 year old (see chart of 1000 children in the following article https://newhair.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/phenotype-article-published.pdf)
I had super thick, very dark black hair, that was very curly and never had to use gel/product/conditioner to style. But every since I started balding, my hair became flat, dead, cant hold any style, and hair products just irritate my scalp. I’m currently on dutasteride, weekly microneedling, and dr regenpure ketaconozole shampoo 3-4x a week.
As hair miniaturizes, it loses its color and its character (texture). When it reverses with drugs like finasteride and dutasteride, the original color and texture can return.
Men may be six times more likely to develop brief or long-term erectile dysfunction after contracting the virus, according to research published in March. Other studies have documented a litany of post-infection health issues that impact sex, either independently or in concert: inability to have or maintain an erection, damage to the testes, testicular pain or swelling, inability to achieve orgasm, low testosterone levels, and mental health issues.
Among the list of ailments, mounting evidence suggests that COVID-19 may sabotage men’s sexual health. “We found that men who hadn’t previously had these issues developed pretty severe erectile dysfunction after COVID-19 infection,” Ramasamy says.

This man used finasteride daily and minoxidil twice a day on a regular basis for just 6 months
This man used finasteride for 14 weeks and microneedling every three days (unusually high use for microneedling) but the results are great!
Let’s say that you get a hair transplant, and because you’re not happy with the results, you decide to shave your head completely after a few years. Will the scars from the hair transplant be visible on the back of your bald head?
Yes, of course it will. FUE produces small white scars scattered in the area where the grafts were harvested. We treat this is Scalp Micropigmentation which works well to hide these scars
This man had Scalp Micropigmentation done up to his hairline. The operator used a dark black ink that turned blue and placed it inside a very thin hairline so close to the leading edge of the hairline that the blue ink stands out. What makes this even worse, this hairline is shaped as a concave female hairline
People always want to know if you’re dealing with sides. I’m on my fourth or fifth day now and I’ve had tachycardia and mild dizziness post dosage. The dizziness doesn’t really seem to be impacting me until I workout. They both seem to be beginning to lessen though. I’ve also been severely fatigued. My eyes just feel so heavy after taking them and I’ve been having difficulty staying awake, but my sleep quality is also horrible due to CPTSD so it may be unrelated. I was slightly hyptertensive previous to taking minox anyways so hopefully this will help out with that.
There are many side effects resulting from taking oral minoxidil like all drugs. You need to be aware of these side effects when you take this medication orally. There is even a dangerous rare risk of cardiac tamponade which can kill you if you don’t take care of symptoms of early heart failure. Don’t be your own doctor. Taking 5 mgs daily is higher than I recommend and is in the range where serious side effects can happen.
Very impressive results from minoxidil alone.
I am a 20 year old male and I want to discuss about hair transplant. I Started noticing hairloss since around age 19 and since then I have been using rogaine to help me with it(about 7 months now), I have also just started finasteride a month ago. Although I only have a small amount of recession, I want to get a small hair transplant done so that my hairline looks good. I am a model/actor hence I am in front of the camera a lot and I need to keep my hair looking good in order to maintain a few of my upcoming roles. After doing a bit of research I came across the fact that hair transplant is usually done on people above the age of 25. But I am fine with getting it done two or even three times in the next decade as long as I can keep my hair! I also think it is worth mentioning that money is not an issue for me in the sense that having good hair would be an indirect investment into my career. What would you advise me?
Please look at these pictures: https://baldingblog.com/need-master-plan-think-hair-transplants-photos/ and see the need for a Personalized Master Plan that will not include a hair transplant until you are at least 25. This is clear because your balding will change and if you use us your donor hair now, then you might end up without enough to follow your future balding pattern.
