Hair growth serums, specifically those with minoxidil and finasteride, are discussed as potential treatments for hair loss. The effectiveness of these serums is questioned, with a focus on whether they promote regrowth or merely preventfurtherloss.
Use minoxidil and finasteride for 1-2 years to promote regrowth and stabilize hair loss before a transplant. Long-term use of these medications is needed to maintain results and preventfurtherloss.
Start hair loss treatment as soon as you notice thinning to preventfurtherloss; finasteride and minoxidil are suggested treatments, with the option to switch to topical treatments if side effects occur. Some regret not starting treatment earlier, and maintaining current hair is more likely than regrowth.
Finasteride is being used to preventfurther hair loss, with hopes of thickening existing thin hair, but results are slow. Users suggest adding minoxidil, dermastamping, and possibly dutasteride for better results.
A user is considering starting finasteride to preventfurther hair loss and is unsure whether to add minoxidil immediately or later. They plan to try finasteride alone first to assess its effectiveness and consider adding minoxidil later if needed for regrowth.
