A user's experience with finasteride to prevent hair loss, and how minoxidil may also have played a role in the successful results.
community Why you may be taking Dutasteride wrong
Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair loss, with optimal dosing at 0.5mg once or twice a week to minimize side effects. Topical application may further reduce side effects while effectively lowering scalp DHT.
community 1.5 years fin plus almost 3 years min, I think I’ve definitely made progress but I’m still not where I want to be, advice?
The user has been using finasteride for 1.5 years and minoxidil for almost 3 years for hair loss, and has seen some maintenance of hair but not significant regrowth. Suggestions from others include switching to dutasteride, trying oral minoxidil, and considering microneedling or hair fibers for better appearance.
community Testosterone and hair loss seeming irrelevance
The conversation is about the role of testosterone in hair loss and the effectiveness of different treatments. The conclusion is that DHT is the main culprit for hair loss, and finasteride has been proven to work long-term in maintaining and regrowing hair. Testosterone may have a minor effect, but it is not the primary cause of hair loss.
community i got more results 1 month 5 mg oral minoxidil and 1 mg dutasteride then i did 6 months on finasteride and topical minoxidil
A user reported better hair regrowth with 5 mg oral minoxidil and 1 mg dutasteride than with finasteride and topical minoxidil, calling topical minoxidil a scam. Replies varied, with some defending topical minoxidil, questioning the user's application method, and suggesting that previous treatments might be contributing to the observed results.
community Microneedling, some people seem to permanently lost their hair. Confused
Microneedling can aid hair regrowth but poses risks like permanent hair loss if not done properly. Combining it with minoxidil, finasteride, and tretinoin, while ensuring proper sterilization and technique, is crucial for safety and effectiveness.
