A user shared their 1.5-year hair restoration journey, successfully using mesenchymal stem cell therapy, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections, and a topical compound of finasteride and minoxidil, avoiding a hair transplant and oral finasteride. They experienced significant hair regrowth, particularly crediting the stem cell therapy for quick initial results.
25-year-old male with Norwood 2 hair loss tried PRPinjections without success. Dermatologists didn't recommend finasteride or minoxidil, but suggested PRP + Mesotherapy for 50% improvement.
The user started a hair loss treatment with 1mg oral finasteride daily, PRPinjections, and Ketoconazole shampoo, noticing reduced hair fall and slight improvement at the temples. They are concerned about potential side effects, which can vary in onset and duration.
A 19-year-old started treating male pattern baldness with topical minoxidil, finasteride tablets, microneedling, and is considering PRPinjections. They are concerned about the effectiveness and timing of these treatments.
A user shared their frustration about their cousin's refusal to take their advice on using finasteride for aggressive hair loss, despite the cousin's desperation and current use of minoxidil and consideration of PRPinjections. The user, who has done extensive research, suggested the cousin needs a 5ar inhibitor, but the cousin dismisses the advice because the user isn't a doctor.
