Good early response to this combination of finasteride and minoxidil. It would be best if he waited 6 months to show even more dramatic photos.The crown is usually more responsive than other parts of the scalp to such treatment.

Do you have advice for someone who gets water retention in the face even from 1.25 mg oral? I had no other side effects but stopped due to the puffy face. Is there a safe/simple way to mitigate that? Maybe this medication is not for you. Theoretically, swelling can occur in hidden areas of your body, […]
Been on minoxidil 5% only . Haven’t been consistent with the treatment You clearly understand that consistency is critical. Low dose oral minoxidil is better than topical minoxidil as only 40% of men respond to the topical. Oral is also easier.
I do not doubt that this is the result primarily of using microneedling, supported by minoxidil and finasteride. Microneedling can bring out fantastic hair growth, in your case in just 4 months. The question, of course, is when and if to stop the microneedling. I suggest that it should be continued monthly, almost indefinitely, or […]
My situation is that I used minoxidil for 1.5 years, so imagine all that time I wasn’t a responder. Can it make my hair worse since I’m just applying alcohol all the time? I’m asking about my situation cause I have been on fin and min and my hair is worse. If you used topical […]
These photos show some nice filling of the thinning forelock and an early suggestion that your corners might regrow. Keep it up.
Yea doc said just not to use it. My father used minoxidil as well and he got lots of side effects just as I did. Very disappointing considering there’s barely any other options If that was topical, he and you might be one of the 60% of men who will not respond to topical but […]
Young men are very sensitive to finasteride and minoxidil as shown here in just 4 months of use. As he continues to use it, more new hair will likely appear.
Any reason why I get bad heart palpitations from 2% min foam? Rogaine brand if that matters Heart palpitations are a side effect of minoxidil. You are absorbing it systemically despite the fact that you are putting it on your scalp. I would speak with your doctor about this. You probably should stop using minoxidil.
Amazing change. The use of microneedling is most likely the stimulus for the speed of change that you saw.
Yes. Minoxidil, orally, is a hypotensive medication, and taking it at varying times in the day may inadvertently increase the effective dose. Minoxidil can produce lightheadedness, which could be a sign of hypotension (low blood pressure).
What dose are you taking? Swelling in the face could be an allergic reaction or a dose that is too high. Let’s make a worse case and say that you are taking 5mgs daily; the risk you are facing is that the sac around the heart could fill with fluid, slowing heart function, and your […]
Will Minoxidil stop irreversible hair loss if I stop taking Fin when trying for a baby? The mechanisms of action of these two drugs are very different. If you had a successful experience with finasteride, stopping will cause you to lose all of its benefits, and I would not expect minoxidil to rescue you. Minoxidil […]
Hello Dr Rassman, I have a question. I am on 5mg of oral Minoxodil a day. I have been told by a few people it may be too much. Thing is, my hair is not getting better. Been on it for 8 months, hairloss is rapidly increasing to the point I am nearing NW3 when […]
I’ve been using topical minoxidil and oral finasteride for around 6 months. My loss has pretty much stabilized but no regrowth so far. I’m thinking about switching to oral minoxidil. Is this a good idea after 6 months or should I wait longer like with finasteride? Also, I have a lot of body hair, basically […]
