community Finasteride Hairline Density Evolution (6 Months)

in Progress Pictures 49 upvotes 5 months ago

The user has been using finasteride for nearly 6 months and minoxidil for nearly 2 months, noticing a sparser hairline and miniaturized hair. Some users believe it's shedding with new growth, while others see a loss in density.

community 3 months on finasteride and hair density IS decreasing

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 43 upvotes 5 months ago

Finasteride can cause initial hair shedding as part of the treatment process, which is normal and often leads to regrowth of healthier hair. Users discuss experiencing multiple shedding phases and emphasize patience, as results can take several months to become noticeable.

community Microneedling depth. Does one length fit all areas of the scalp? Maybe not.

55 upvotes 4 years ago

Microneedling depth should be customized based on hair type and scalp area, with many users finding 0.5-0.6mm effective for miniaturized hairs to avoid damage. Users report varying pain levels and results, with some preferring shorter needle lengths and others using longer ones like 1.75mm for scalp health and density improvement.

learn Hair Fibers

cosmetic product that temporarily makes hair appear thicker

Do hair fibers really make thinning hair look fuller, or is it just an illusion? Hair fibers create an optical illusion of fullness but do not actually thicken hair.

learn Finasteride

Does hair strand thickness decrease in men with androgenic alopecia? Can finasteride help restore it? Androgenic alopecia thins hair strands by miniaturizing follicles. The pivotal finasteride trials (1,553 men, 1 mg/day, two years) report increased hair counts and improved assessed appearance, but they measured density, not the diameter of individual strands, so the effect on thickness itself is not established.

learn Hair Transplant

Does a hair transplant increase hair density? A hair transplant can improve density, but results vary by individual factors.

learn Fluridil

Can daily Fluridil application stop hair follicle miniaturization? The single published fluridil trial (43 men, 9 months, double-blind and placebo-controlled) reported more hairs in the growth phase, but it never measured follicle diameter and has not been replicated — so whether daily use stops miniaturization is unproven, and community users describe stabilization rather than regrowth.
