I was wondering if I should stop taking my oral minoxidil dose of 1.25mgs/day/ [If you have any questions, you can reach me at williamrassman33@gmail.com] If you are worried about it, or if you had periods of light-headedness, or if you had rapid heart beats from the oral minoxidil, skipping a daily dose will have […]

It always amazes me that a small amount of new hair grown in the right places and styled to take advantage of it produces such wonderful results. Your gray hair is also working for you at 55 years of age. The microneedling is also very valuable in returning some of the sleeping stem cells. The […]
The crown loss reverses easily with finasteride. The frontal reversal may be best by adding the combination of the two approaches, including oral minoxidil plus microneedling.
In just two months, this 27-year-old man reversed most of his crown loss. I have little doubt that the microneedling depth of 1.5mm, with weekly frequency, accelerated the return of his hair.
Finasteride can alter the anagen phase of hair growth, but the length of hair depends upon the genetic hair cycle that you have. Hair grows at 1/2 inch per month on average when there is no balding present. Miniaturized hairs can be maintained or partly reversed to normal, but they will grow slower, not necessarily […]
When you started on minoxidil for a year at 15, your hair loss reversal was remarkable. At your age (now 16), early genetic hair loss will reverse with either minoxidil or finasteride. You must accept that you will be using one of these drugs for most of your life to keep your hair if you […]
This is a wonderful result and shows the power of microneeding at maximizing the results of medication and cause such good growth. A microneedling maintenance program should be continued at least once a month and if you see hair loss, then increase the frequency of the microneedling. Stay on the finasteride and the minoxidil. [If […]
Over and over again I see photos of very bald men who reverse the process (partially or completely) with microneeding augmented by minoxidil and finasteride. I am sure that the key to this outcome is the microneeding. I am increasingly convinced that many of these very bald men have active sleeping stem cells left over […]
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1386573/pdf/brjclinpharm00094-0143.pdf The article suggests that minoxidil may have long-term cardiac effects. It was written in 1988, suggesting that more recent updates are available. I haven’s had the time to delve into further research on this subject.

I’m 20 and have started to get some pretty crazy shed over the past year. I used to have very thick curly hair but my hairline has receded and scalp is visible on top of my head. I’m planning on starting treatment. I am thinking about doing so orally because of the convenience, would it […]
This is a very nice early result. I believe that you are on the way to controlling your Class 3 pattern of balding. The arrow shows the Class 3 pattern in the frontal hairine.
It would be worth seeing a hair specialist. The photos suggest very fine hair and possibly something else that a specialist can evaluate.
The addition of microneedling, especially in men over 30, will add a different dimension and more frequent reversals. Nice to see short-term results.
Editorial comment from American Journal of Dermatology: Scalp pruritus affected 19% of participants in the topical minoxidil group. Pretibial edema occurred in 4% of participants in the oral minoxidil group. Hypertrichosis was more common with oral minoxidil (27% oral vs 4% topical), although this side effect was mild and well tolerated; 3 participants did not […]
Hey all, I am soon going to start using topical minoxidil. The only brand (Linn Minoxidil) I could get a hold of somewhat easily where I live (the Netherlands) is a spray. The manual says to spray six times on the balding spot. But I am a norwood 3.5-4, and hence would like to spray […]
