The conversation discusses the effectiveness of finasteride and dutasteride in treating hair loss, emphasizing that significant results often take 12-18 months or more. Dutasteride is generally considered superior, with similar or fewer side effects than finasteride, but patience is required for noticeable improvement.
community Why is it so hard to select one
Choosing hair loss treatments is challenging due to concerns about side effects from finasteride and minoxidil. Users suggest starting with topical treatments and gradually increasing dosage, while some recommend oral finasteride for its effectiveness despite potential side effects.
community My personal experience/observations fighting AGA seriously for 5 years
Minoxidil with alcohol and propylene glycol was more effective than non-alcohol versions, and RU58841 worked best in a non-water-based solution. Oral finasteride showed better results than topical, despite side effects; microneedling and tretinoin worsened hair loss, and PRP was only helpful when younger.
