5 / 1000+ resultscommunity 3 years of finasteride and minoxidil
This conversation is about a user who used finasteride and minoxidil over the course of three years to treat their hair loss, and they achieved great results. They experienced severe shedding when first beginning treatment but eventually saw very noticeable results after one year.
community April 21 2022 ( first two pics )vs March 24 2024 ( last two pics)
The user treated their hair loss with daily finasteride, nightly minoxidil, weekly derma rolling, biotin, and ketoconazole shampoo. They believe consistency is key and that micro needling and minoxidil were the most effective.
community Four years on finasteride (1 mg daily) and minoxidil (two years topical, two years oral) from age 24 (top) to 28 (bottom). Looks like I lost a bit of ground
The user shared progress pictures after using finasteride and minoxidil for hair loss over four years. Responses vary, with some seeing stabilization or slight improvement, and others noticing a small amount of hair loss.
community 1ish year on fin and no improvement
The user has been using finasteride for over a year without improvement and recently started oral minoxidil. Suggestions include trying dutasteride and continuing minoxidil for potential regrowth.
community Minoxidil seems logistically impossible and impractical to use
The post discusses concerns about the practicality of using Minoxidil foam for hair loss, including the frequency of application, preparation, coverage area, and drying time. Responses suggest that missing a dose isn't detrimental, it can be applied once a day, it works on all hair areas, and it doesn't need to be perfectly dry before application.
