5 / 91 resultscommunity 1.5 years finasterite. 1 tablet daily. Don't see any improvement.
The user has been taking finasteride for 1.5 years without seeing improvement in hair regrowth. Suggestions include adding minoxidil or switching to dutasteride, with concerns about side effects.
community He used Dutasteride for 20 years. Interview
Dutasteride has been used for 20 years with some hair thickness improvement but no dramatic regrowth. The user also experimented with minoxidil, tretinoin, and peptides like BPC 157 for potential benefits in hair density and quality.
community No longer seeing any progress, really worried and panicking.
The user is experiencing increased hair thinning and shedding despite using oral dutasteride, oral minoxidil, topical dutasteride, and ketoconazole shampoo. Many recommend considering a hair transplant or embracing baldness, as current treatments seem ineffective.
community PP405 - A True Breakthrough or Another Disappointment?
PP405 shows potential for hair growth, with 31% of advanced balding men experiencing over 20% increase in hair density in 8 weeks. However, skepticism persists due to selective data presentation and lack of long-term results, with comparisons to treatments like minoxidil and finasteride.
community I hate hairloss to my core, Fuck this shit
The user is frustrated with hair loss, having switched from topical minoxidil and finasteride to dutasteride and oral minoxidil without seeing improvements. They are considering a hair transplant and are advised to continue the current treatment and explore therapy or lifestyle changes.

10 / 801 results- How does bimatoprost compare to minoxidil for hair regrowth? Minoxidil is FDA-approved for scalp hair loss and backed by decades of large trials; bimatoprost is approved only for eyelashes, and the published scalp evidence is limited to small short studies, so on the scalp it is off-label and experimental.
- Does it work better in certain areas, like receding hairlines or the crown? Hair loss treatments generally work better on the crown than on receding hairlines.
- Got small bald patches they say are from stress? PP405 sprays could help bring them back to life. PP405 is an experimental topical gel from Pelage Pharmaceuticals that inhibits the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier; its registered Phase 2 trial (NCT06393452) tested it once daily in 78 adults with pattern hair loss, for safety and tolerability. It is not approved, not for sale, and has not been studied in alopecia areata or stress-related shedding.
- Are there clinical studies showing that KY19382 can regrow hair in androgenic alopecia? No clinical studies have proven KY19382 regrows hair in androgenic alopecia.
- Can I use hair loss treatments (finasteride, minoxidil) after scalp micropigmentation? About half of clinics say finasteride can continue through scalp micropigmentation, and about half ask clients to pause topical minoxidil during the sessions and for roughly 30 days afterwards. That pause is clinic aftercare convention, not a label instruction - ask your prescriber first, because stopping minoxidil usually causes shedding.
