The user reports significant hair regrowth after three months using finasteride, biotin pills, a derma roller with rosemary/jojoba oil, and drinking coffee, despite an initial increase in hair shedding. Other users share varied results with similar treatments, with some not experiencing improvements.
After six months on Dutasteride, the user's hair is worse than before, despite previously trying finasteride and RU/Fluridil without success. Some suggest continuing Dutasteride and adding progress photos, while others share their positive experiences or advise sticking to one treatment for at least a year.
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of different concentrations and dosages of topical finasteride on scalp and serum DHT levels, comparing it to oral finasteride and noting the side effects seem to be fewer at lower dosages. Participants shared experiences and referenced a chart indicating similar scalp DHT reduction with 0.025% topical finasteride as with 1mg oral finasteride, but with fewer side effects.
Dutasteride doses matter for hair loss treatment and are more effective than finasteride. RU58841 is suggested for better gains, but side effect profiles should be considered.
A user's 15-month experience with oral finasteride, minoxidil, zinc and vitamin C, caffeine, and microneedling as treatments for hair loss, which has yielded impressive results. Suggestions were made to stack a topical DHT blocker with the finasteride or increase the microneedling regimen, and it was suggested to re-evaluate at the two year mark.
