community Does this look like regrowth??
Hair regrowth using oral minoxidil, finasteride, and microneedling. User reports progress with no side effects and improved hair density.
community Two and a half years on minoxidil and coming up to two years on finasteride. Hairline has only improved a bit but thickness/density is much better. I was pretty old when I started so I'm pleasantly surprised!
The user experienced improved hair thickness and density after using 5% minoxidil spray twice daily and 1mg finasteride tablet once daily, starting at age 33. They reported initial shedding with minoxidil but no other side effects.
community 1 year of 1mg finasteride a day
