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.

The conversation discusses whether whey protein and creatine worsen hair loss. Some users report hair loss with creatine use, while others do not; opinions on whey protein's effects are mixed. Treatments mentioned include PRP, minoxidil, and finasteride.
community So does oral minoxidil age your skin or not
Oral minoxidil may cause dry skin and dark eye bags but doesn't significantly age the skin. Topical minoxidil is toxic to cats, and some users prefer finasteride.
community Minoxidil inhibits lysyl hydroxylase which is needed to produce collagen. If I take 2,5...5 mg of minoxidil every day can I cause my skin to age prematurely?
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss and unlikely to significantly affect collagen synthesis, making it a safe option without causing premature skin aging. Users report positive hair regrowth without noticeable skin aging.
