community I experimented with every medication for hair loss for at least 1 year. my thoughts.
Minoxidil effective for regrowth but causes dryness; finasteride stops hair loss but may affect hormones; dutasteride powerful but reduces libido; RU58841 thickens hair but expensive and risky; dermarolling improves blood flow and results; aminexil overrated and not effective. Dermarolling beneficial with both minoxidil and finasteride.
