The conversation is about the struggles of dealing with diffuse thinning at a young age and the lack of significant improvement after using treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. Some suggest additional methods like derma rolling, microneedling, and hair fibers, while others share their own experiences and encourage persistence with treatment.
community UPDATE: 2 years ago, I shaved my head. Here’s my progress after 2 years Min/Dermarolling and 1 year of Fin
A user who shaved their head two years ago and has since regrown it via Minoxidil, dermarolling, and finasteride with no negative side effects; and the encouragement from other users to take the leap and try these treatments.
community Why isn’t oral minoxidil enough for me?
A user takes 5mg oral minoxidil, oral dutasteride, topical tretinoin, stemoxydine, topical minoxidil, and uses dermarolling for hair loss but sees less impressive, patchy regrowth compared to others. Another person suggests some online results may be enhanced with hair fibers, not just medication.
community I am having Success with RU58841 and 1mm Derma Roller
A user reported success with RU58841 and a 1mm derma roller for hair regrowth, noting significant improvement in hair density and reduced scalp visibility. They also mentioned using minoxidil and black castor oil in the past, with mixed results.
community 40 years old. 7 months progress. More pics in post history. Still have a ways to go.
