community 4 years oral fin, 2 years oral min
A user shared their 4-year experience with oral finasteride and 2-year experience with oral minoxidil for hair regrowth, noting minor side effects like weaker erections and increased hair growth elsewhere. They reported significant regrowth primarily from finasteride and maintained a consistent dosage of 1mg finasteride and 2.5mg minoxidil daily.
community Combining daily microneedling and redlight is a game changer
The conversation discusses using daily microneedling at 0.25mm and red light therapy to enhance hair regrowth, especially when traditional treatments like finasteride and minoxidil become less effective. The combination is said to improve hair density and thickness, with red light therapy being more cosmetic, while microneedling is essential for challenging areas.
