Post-menopausal women (50% of the feml population) often develop hair loss or diffuse thinning. Finasteride works well in some of these women; however, when a pre-menopausal woman has this condition, it may not work very well. In addition, pre-menopausal women have significant risks with this drug if they become pregnant so they should not take […]

Got the 5mg pill of Finastride and am thinking of taking 1.25mg on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, skipping Saturday and Sunday and restarting the same routine That is essentially taking 0.54mgs daily. Merck reported that 0.5mgs is 82% as effective as the full 1mg dose, so this plan is a reasonable plan. The benefits are […]
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.
If finasteride can not cause thinning, why am I continuing to thin while on finasteride? I’m definitely not imagining this. Could it be that the dosage 0.5mg is not enough and the miniaturization is too aggressive? Yes, it is possible that you need a proper dose of finasteride (1mg), or your thinning process is more […]
Amazing change. The use of microneedling is most likely the stimulus for the speed of change that you saw.
I never considered that fin could make the individual hair follicles thinner. (Can it?) I’ve noticed after the one month mark that the density of my hair has gone drastically down. Finasteride doesn’t cause hair follicles to become thinner. Finasteride will help reverse miniaturized hair to become thicker. If you believe to the contrary, purchase […]
I’m 25M I made a post a long time ago talking about my nonfin hair loss stack. It was actually working decently well for me but I got tired of using so many topicals so I just switched to Fin + min only. Ive been on that stack for about 6-8 months now. I don’t have […]
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 […]
If most hair loss occurs by 35 and then pretty much stabilises does that mean we can stop taking fin after 35? Hair loss is progressive. If you are stable on finasteride, stop it, and you might find instant hair loss to a pattern that you should have had if you didn’t take finasteride. I […]
What has been reported to me in addition to what I read are the following impacts on men’s semen: 1- change in consistency, 2- decreased volume, and 3- reduced sperm count. Men wishing to have a baby should check their sperm count. If they find that they have a problem impregnating their partner they may […]
I am seeing more and more men with an advanced balding pattern, reverse that pattern with microneedling as part of their routine. It is clear to me, that the microneedling has great value when done properly.
I take finasteride 1mg every other day for a year and just recently noticed that the hairline is thining. What you would think it the best thing I can do now? I would increase your dose to daily rather than every other day. See if that makes a difference with the finasteride. You could add […]
This is a great combination of treatment modalities with good results in a relatively short time. This is especially helped by the microneedlng.
So if tissue levels remain for 6 days, would topical application every 4/5 days be theoretically still somewhat effective? Some amount of finasteride stays in the tissues for more than two weeks after stopping the pill. Daily dosing is the ideal way to build appropriate tissue levels.
I’ve been on fin for 5 years and had great results. Whatever reason my crown is really thinning again, fast. Should I just up and take oral min too Adding oral minoxidil might help as it has a different mechanism of action.
