A 48-year-old who had been thinning since 25 and reached NW4-5 baldness saw no improvement with 1mg/day finasteride and 5% minoxidil twice a day after 8 months. After copying another person's routine, they now use 0.5mg finasteride, ketoconazole shampoo weekly, daily microneedling with 0.5mm and 1mm once a week, and apply minoxidil twice daily, resulting in baby hairs on their bald spot and temples after three months.
community What makes breezula different than formula 82f?
Breezula (clascoterone) and Formula 82F (topical finasteride) are treatments for hair loss that block DHT differently; Breezula competes with DHT at the hormone receptor site without systemic effects, while 82F inhibits the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT. Breezula may work for those who don't respond to finasteride and vice versa.
