      community Using minoxidil for 6 months. Not seeing results

      in Minoxidil  111 upvotes 4 weeks ago
      Minoxidil alone is not effective for hair regrowth; adding a DHT blocker like finasteride or dutasteride is recommended. Dermastamping and micro-needling can enhance results, and some users suggest trying oral minoxidil or natural DHT blockers.

      community How common is serious regrowth for people 35yrs old and up?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  20 upvotes 5 months ago
      Regrowth is more likely if hair follicles are still alive, regardless of age, but younger individuals often see better results due to early intervention. Treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dermarolling can help, but results vary based on individual factors such as the presence of miniaturized hairs and the speed of treatment initiation.

      in Treatment  6 upvotes 4 years ago
      A 29-year-old male experiencing hair loss due to TRT is using minoxidil and dermarolling but is hesitant to use finasteride or dutasteride due to potential side effects. He is considering low level laser therapy (LLLT), PRP, ketoconazole shampoo, and oral minoxidil as additional treatments. A reply suggests that without a DHT blocker like finasteride or dutasteride, other treatments may not be effective long-term.
