A 42-year-old male shared his 1.5-year hair regrowth progress using 1.25mg finasteride daily and regular doses of minoxidil twice a day, and recently started using the Derminator 2. He also mentioned his battle with cancer and Cushing's syndrome, which affected his weight and hair.
Finasteride may decrease free testosterone by increasing SHBG, potentially causing side effects like reduced libido and hormonal changes. Some find it effective for hair loss, while others experience negative effects.
