User reports 2-month progress using Fin, Min, and microneedling for hair regrowth. Mixed opinions on results, some skeptical of fast growth, others encouraging and recommending Fin for stable results.
This user has achieved impressive results after 5 months of using Finasteride and Minoxidil, which appear to have stopped hair loss and stimulated new growth. They have also incorporated derma pen treatments and supplements such as Zinc picolinate and DMAE into their regimen.
The efficacy of low doses of finasteride to reduce scalp DHT, and whether studies showing a 61% reduction are reflected in actual results. Replies discussed hairgrowth as an unintended consequence of minoxidil and finasteride use, as well as self-selective bias, potential side effects, and that studies measure effectiveness by hair count changes rather than DHT inhibition.
The conversation is about a person's nearly 5-month progress using finasteride, minoxidil, some vitamins, and occasional microneedling to treat hair loss, with noticeable improvement in hairgrowth. They also mention not using creatine or performance-enhancing drugs.
Fin and minoxidil, in combination with dermarolling, as an effective path for hairgrowth. The post also provides advice about needle depth and frequency, as well as other treatments (foam and oral) which may be beneficial.
42-year-old used finasteride, minoxidil, dermapen, and nizoral for 12 months, achieving significant hairgrowth. Consistency and patience are important for success.
A user reported a significant reduction in DHT levels after 3 months of taking 1mg/day oral finasteride, along with using minoxidil foam, microneedling, and Nutrafol vitamins. They hope this will lead to hairgrowth and less shedding.
A user asked if anyone who didn't respond to minoxidil saw improvement after adding tretinoin. One person replied they saw hairgrowth on their hairline after using a combination of minoxidil, finasteride, and tretinoin, suggesting tretinoin may have made them respond to minoxidil.
The conversation is about using liquid melatonin, typically for sleep, as a topical treatment for hairgrowth on the scalp. No specific treatments were mentioned.
