This is what we hope that minoxidil will do when applied daily.
5.0mg is much more effective though that’s what I’m using with ZERO Sides
5mg oral minoxidil has a higher risk of cardiac complications. That is why the drug was withdrawn from the market in the treatment of high blood pressure. 2.5mg is the maximal safe dose for oral minoxidil for men with hair loss
Thank you Dr. Rassman. I will be applying Pyrilutamide in the near future. Do you think it is sensible to experiment with a drug that is still undergoing clinical trials, but that passed the Phase I trial?
Safety and effectiveness is always the key and that will be determined when the trail is over
There is clearly new growth that can be seen at the 3rd month. I would expect considerably more in the next 4-6 months.
Nice early reversal. I doubt that, other than the forelock, the rest of the frontal hairline may not grow in. The forelock is genetically coded differently than the rest of the hairline.
Hairs grew in the area I circle before and now there are no hairs there. Does that mean that no hair will grow there again?
Although the area where I placed the arrow previously had hair growing out of it, maybe it was a one hair follicular unit and the hair went into the Catagen phase of the hair cycle and disappeared. If that were the case, it would come back within a month or two.
An Istanbul hair transplant clinic was raided by the police and all of the technicians were arrested. There was no doctor in the clinic. The technicians ran a clinic with 10 surgery rooms. There are hundreds of such clinics in Turkey. I am not sure why this particular one was selected.
Is micro-needling induced growth (whilst remaining on fin but stopping the needling) permanent?
Microneeding induced growth is probably not permanent. I am not sure that it even lasts for an entire Anagen Cycle.
I have a few painful spots on my head. Probably ingrown hair. They full of pus and sore. Any tips for treating them?
Frequent hot wet compressed should make them drain. If not, see a doctor
Do you think i need to continue all my life microneedling?
Nobody knows the answer to that question. I suspect sooner or later the microneedling will become less effective, but that is just a guess
I discovered a few months back that I have a testosterone deficiency which I have a feeling is caused by my lifestyle (very sedentary, was overweight/obese for many many years, no exercise at all for most my life, bad food decisions and my sleep often all over the place) I’m getting my life back on track now to hope improve my T levels, but my main question is.. does having low t with the combination of taking 1mg a day of fin for hair loss cause any potential problems? or since fin lowers dht and as a result makes your t levels rise slightly, would it generally be irrelevant either way? I’d love to hear your thoughts
It may be irrelevant. Be careful about rapid weight loss as it is a trigger for a balding event if you have the genetics for balding
Ive been on oral fin for 11 month and I got severe sexual side effects. Can I switch to the oral and avoid them?
The non-liposomal topical finasteride will go though the skin into your system. Don’t think that because it is topical, it stays there
I am concerned about the bleeding. Any suggestions?
You can reduce your needle size to 1mm and still be effective will less bleeding and less pain I suspect.
A 0.25mg needle doesn’t reach the stem cells which are about 1mm below the skin surface. You must get to the stem cells if you want results. Use a needle length between 1 and 1.5mm.
