Prevention of Temporal Alopecia Following Rhytidectomy: The Prophylactic Use of Minoxidil. A Study of 60 Patients

Excessive use of topical minoxidil led to unwanted facial changes and side effects. The user plans to switch to oral minoxidil with microneedling for hair regrowth.

The user experienced hair regrowth and improved hair quality using topical minoxidil on temples and oral finasteride daily. They also noted thicker eyebrows and some side effects like minor erectile dysfunction.

A 24-year-old reported new hair growth on temples after 3.5 months of using topical minoxidil without shedding. They plan to add finasteride to maintain progress, as minoxidil alone may not be enough long-term.

A 33-year-old man using topical finasteride 0.25%, minoxidil 5%, and Nizoral for hair regrowth reports noticeable progress after 50 days, with plans to add microneedling. He experienced initial side effects with finasteride, which later subsided, and hopes to restore his crown for a potential hair transplant.

A 35-year-old male used oral finasteride and topical minoxidil, later transitioning to oral minoxidil, to stop hair loss and improve hair density. He plans a future hair transplant and experienced temporary libido changes but no permanent side effects.

The user started using topical minoxidil and finasteride to address a receding hairline and has seen positive results without side effects. They apply 1ml of Morr F 5% drops nightly.
