      community 12 months of progress on fin (and 10 months microneedling)

      in Update  363 upvotes 5 years ago
      A user's 12 month progress on finasteride and 10 months of microneedling for hair loss treatment, which has resulted in improved temple areas with no side effects from the finasteride. They have not used minoxidil yet but are considering it for further gains. DHT blocking drugs such as finasteride and dutasteride are recommended to maintain regrowth results.
