The user is unhappy with the results of their second hair transplant, feeling that grafts were wasted on an already transplanted hairline instead of increasing mid-scalp density. They regret stopping medications like Dutasteride, Minoxidil, and RU58841, which led to significant hair loss, and plan to restart them.
community Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong
A 38-year-old male experienced rapid hair loss progression and tried topical Minoxidil for 15 months without success, then switched to a combination spray with Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Tretinoin for two months, still seeing no improvement. Users suggest patience, as Finasteride can take six months to a year to show results, and recommend considering oral treatments if health permits, while also advising against washing off treatments too soon.
community Didn’t expect this much regrowth this early the grass really is coming in 🌱
The user experienced significant hair regrowth after 2.5 months on daily 0.5 mg oral dutasteride and 3 months of 5% topical minoxidil, with better results after switching to foam minoxidil. They attribute most gains to minoxidil, as dutasteride takes longer to show effects, and report no side effects.
community Don’t do like me. Don’t take a long break from Fin and Min
Stopping finasteride and minoxidil can cause significant hair shedding, so they should be continued indefinitely. Concerns about finasteride affecting fertility or causing birth defects are mostly unfounded, but some stop for personal reasons.
