      A user had a hair transplant 16 years ago and lost hair after stopping finasteride. They're now using a combination of treatments including oral dutasteride, topical and oral minoxidil, Pyrilutamide, and microneedling, and have seen improved density but are unsure if it's enough to grow their hair out. They also had a bad experience with scalp micropigmentation (SMP) and are considering redoing it.
