Frontal Edema Due to Topical Application of 5% Minoxidil Solution Following Mesotherapy Injections

Topical minoxidil is effective for hair loss, while topical finasteride caused side effects like erectile dysfunction. Mesotherapy is considered stronger than home treatments like microneedling with topical nutrients.

Mesotherapy with vitamins is unlikely to effectively treat genetic hair loss and may be a waste of money. Taking 0.25 mg of finasteride daily is likely sufficient to slow hair loss, as it provides similar benefits to higher doses with fewer side effects.

A 25-year-old male shared his 3-month progress using oral minoxidil, finasteride, and biotin for hair growth, reporting positive results and minimal side effects, such as slightly reduced libido. He plans to continue treatment and possibly add microneedling, with hopes of further improvement and potential hair transplant if needed.

The user is experiencing positive hair regrowth results after 3 months using finasteride and minoxidil both orally and topically, along with biotin and ketoconazole. They also use a shampoo containing caffeine and biotin.

Oral biotin combined with topical minoxidil may increase hair growth rate, though the study was limited to healthy subjects and did not measure hair density. Some users report personal benefits from biotin, such as faster nail growth and healthier hair, but concerns about acne and study quality were also mentioned.

The user resumed finasteride and added 5mg oral minoxidil and biotin, noticing quick progress in hair regrowth. Other users discuss dosages and express surprise at the results.
