community Regrowth 21 months, fin, 41 Male
A user shared their 21-month hair regrowth journey using oral Finasteride 1mg daily and Minoxidil 5% topical applications. Despite initial discouragement due to slow progress, they saw significant improvement, reducing the need for a hair transplant to minor fill-ins at the front hairline.
community Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.
Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.
community I’m someone who was supposed to be prematurely bald. My hair loss started at 15, I started finasteride at 17, switched to dutasteride at 18, now at 19 this is my situation, thoughts? I know my life wouldn’t be that different if I was bald, I just feel more confident with hair..
A user's journey with hair loss, starting with finasteride at age 17 and switching to dutasteride at 18. The post provides insight on how minoxidil helped initially but quitting it caused some regrowth that was regained when switching to dutasteride. There is also discussion about starting finasteride as young as 17 years old for those who may be worried about potential physical development issues.
