6 / 6 resultscommunity i got more results 1 month 5 mg oral minoxidil and 1 mg dutasteride then i did 6 months on finasteride and topical minoxidil
A user reported better hair regrowth with 5 mg oral minoxidil and 1 mg dutasteride than with finasteride and topical minoxidil, calling topical minoxidil a scam. Replies varied, with some defending topical minoxidil, questioning the user's application method, and suggesting that previous treatments might be contributing to the observed results.
community Not everyone should immediately go on Fin if they are starting to bald
The conversation suggests that people should consult a dermatologist to understand their type of hair loss before starting treatments like finasteride or dutasteride, especially if they have autoimmune issues or low DHT. Some participants believe in starting treatment like finasteride immediately if hair loss is due to DHT, while others recommend ruling out other causes and considering minoxidil first, especially for younger individuals.
community Can someone explain the Dutasteride hysteria in this community?
The conversation is about the double standard in the hair loss community regarding shedding when using different treatments. The conclusion is that shedding is considered normal when starting finasteride or minoxidil, but not when starting dutasteride, despite the fact that dutasteride is more effective at reducing DHT.
community After many years of topical fin+min use im considering topical dut, worth it?
The user is considering adding liposomal dutasteride to their hair loss treatment, which currently includes topical finasteride and minoxidil. They are exploring different concentrations and application frequencies to enhance hair retention and are also planning to continue using Rogaine.
community 4 Month Update on Topical Minoxidil
The user achieved significant hair regrowth using Regaine 5% topical minoxidil, dermarolling, rosemary, and pumpkin seed oil. They are considering adding finasteride or dutasteride to their regimen for further improvement.
community Experience with only Minoxidil and Nizoral
Minoxidil and Nizoral alone are unlikely to stop hair loss effectively, as they do not address the root cause, which is often DHT. Many users suggest incorporating a 5AR inhibitor like finasteride or dutasteride for better results, despite concerns about potential side effects.
