What if I try to enhance the enzyme activity in the scalp with Tretinoin and 1.5mm microneedling. If it still doesn’t respond after combining min tret and microneedling, then maybe I its time to think about oral. I’m afraid I have to disagree with your logic. If your scalp doesn’t contain Sulfotransferases, then adding Tretinoin […]

This is a remarkable result. This photo clearly shows that minoxidil can be very effective at reversing significant recessions without finasteride.
Young men (early 20s) often respond like this man did, sometimes even in this short period. Reversal of frontal hair loss is not common in men over 28 years of age with a combination of these drugs.
This is the type of early response one hopes for when taking these two drugs. Your hair is coming back in the corners. Keep it up, and clearly, more hair will come and from the degree of new hair that I am seeing, your hairline might return.
It only took 3 months and this young man regressed to his inherited balding pattern. If you are on these medications and you have good results, think more than twice about stopping them. These changes are inevitible.
I started minoxidil at 18, then added finasteride and then added microneedling. I got my hair back. What should I do now? You can cut back on the microneedling to once a month. Keep up the other medication. It is likely that at 18, when you started this routine, you might have had good results […]
I have no idea if drinking topical minoxidil is safe or not but … If it were safe and effective ( that is a big if ), wouldn’t one bottle of Kirkland minoxidil last for 8 months? You can save a lot of money this way, right? Minoxidil is a dangerous medication with potentially fatal consequences. […]
Ive been taking minox for about 4 years now, (fin too) and suddenly in the past month the area where i apply has become incredibly itchy. It also looks like im losing denisty and hair in those areas, even though im not actually getting any hairs loose when i put my fingers trough it. Hair […]
There is often a shed when either minoxidil or finasteride is started. Other than the shed which tells you the drug will work on your head, there are no negative hair effects
Minoxidil has a different mechanism of action, so combining both is often better than one drug alone.
Is it worth giving up minoxidil before a hair transplant to ensure all new hair isn’t minoxidil-dependent? I only want to have a transplant once in my life, I’d like to avoid going back in a few years once my min-dependent hair has faded. Hair grown with minoxidil requires that you stay on it. I tell […]
The answer to that reflects the presence of the enzyme sulfotransferase in significant quantities in the scalp. “the follicular sulfotransferase activity of 120 pattern hair loss patients visiting a dermatology outpatient clinic in India. Overall, 40.8% of patients with pattern hair loss had low levels of sulfotransferase. “Reference: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30295395/
Do i put it all over my head or just the thin spots? I’m Norwood 3 so my hair is still mostly ok Rub it in the scalp in the areas in front where you lost the hair or it is thinning. Try not to waste if on your hair, as the hair is not […]
Amazing result from these two drug. You should show your hairline pulled back to cement what we are now seeing.
These results show that the apparent miniaturization that was there prior to starting these medications, have reversed.
