      community 5 years on Finasteride, 1.5 years on Minoxidil Foam

      in Progress Pictures  708 upvotes 1 year ago
      The user has been using finasteride for five years and minoxidil foam for 1.5 years to combat hair loss, experiencing significant regrowth after an initial shedding phase with minoxidil. They shared progress pictures and discussed treatment experiences, including the addition of minoxidil to their regimen after noticing reduced efficacy with finasteride alone.

      Alcohol-based minoxidil absorbs better but can cause irritation; non-alcohol-based is gentler. Topical dutasteride shows promise but needs more research; low-dose oral minoxidil (0.25 mg/day) is effective with fewer side effects. Ingredients like Procapil, Redensyl, caffeine, and Anagain in shampoos have limited evidence; ketoconazole shampoo can help when used 2-3 times a week with other treatments.

      Minoxidil and finasteride effectively improve hairlines and reduce balding, though some users report side effects like reduced libido. Consistent use over 1-2 years leads to significant hair regrowth, with some users also using skincare and biotin for added benefits.

      Topical minoxidil may cause skin aging effects like wrinkles and dark circles, possibly due to its alcohol content, while oral finasteride is reported to make users look younger. Switching to oral minoxidil or using moisturizers might help reduce these skin issues.
