The crown is very sensitive to finasteride in many men, regardless of age. This is unlike the frontal hairline, where finasteride sometimes reverses hair loss in young men under 25 but rarely over 40. The rest of the male population falls between 25-40, with variable results on the frontal hairline. Generally, the older you get, […]

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 […]
After overcoming my initial fears about fin and now being on it, my worries have shifted to the possibility of it not working. Just asking about stopping loss not about regaining ground. Finasteride takes time in some men. Give it a full year before drawing conclusions. I have found that in close to 100% of […]
Specifically, is the spike in testosterone levels just an effect from the body adjusting to the finasteride? Yes, it is the body’s feedback loop. Some men actually get an increased libido from the increase in testosterone. one of my friend’s son had that happen to him and he called me worried. His girlfriend loved it, […]
From the longest time, I had been taking 0.5 mg of Finasteride daily yet was still losing ground. People said that the differences between the two doses were negligible, so I assumed that increasing the dose wouldn’t help. After seeing little progress over a year, I decided to bite the bullet and increased my dosage to […]
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 […]
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 […]
Started with oral finasteride and switched to topical after years of use once low libido and ED side effects started. Topical had been working well for a few years, but now once again suffering from low libido and ED. I understand Duasteride is stronger, but does anyone know or have anecdotal experience with switching medications […]
So I started FIN when I was 19 (28 now). My system took to it well and the balding/hairline hasn’t gotten worse since. However my beard hair never became terminal since I started so young. I have pretty decent coverage of beard hair but I can’t grow them out because it looks too soft and […]
You are receiving a cumulative dosing of 0.25mgs/day, which, according to Merck’s study, is 50% as effective as the 1mg dose. If I were you, I would increase it to daily use if that works for you. That gets you 100% effectiveness for this drug.
Finistride has made a huge difference. As you can see the whole mid section has come back to life. Hair transplant looks good, one side coming in a bit slower then the other. Looking forward to seeing how it develops. Looking very promising. The value of finasteride can never be understated!
I am 20 years old and have been taking 0.5mg of finasteride every other day since mid October. I have been starting to freak out since I have recently been noticing that a lot of longer hair strands have began to fall out in the shower and in the floors around my house. I am […]
Currently. I’m taking around 0.3mg a day of topical finasteride daily, but wanting to switch back to oral (0.5mgs every other day) as I experienced way better results on the oral finasteride. Should I slowly taper the transition or go cold turkey? You can stop the topical finasteride and go on the oral immediately with no […]
If one opts for a transplant, is it still necessary to take Finasteride or any other medication? Since hair loss is progressive, I generally recommend that a person having a hair transplant stay on this drug for life, provided that they don’t have negative side effects. In addition, the drug has value in reducing the […]
One month? You are unrealistic if you were expecting significant benefits from finasteride in a month. Give it 9-12 months and then you should see either slowing, stopping or some or all reversal of the hair loss.
