A user shared progress pictures after 11 months on finasteride and minoxidil, with intermittent microneedling. The community responded positively, noting significant hair regrowth and encouraging continued treatment.
The conclusion of the conversation is that dying the hair can be an effective method for managing hair loss, particularly for those with diffuse thinning.
The user stopped oral treatments due to side effects and switched to a regimen of topical minoxidil, tretinoin, azelaic acid, and dermaneedling, with recent addition of topical finasteride. They are questioning the long-term effectiveness of non-hormonal methods and considering hair transplantation.
Minoxidil alone is just as effective as when combined with tretinoin and azelaic acid for hair loss. People adding tretinoin and azelaic acid to minoxidil may not see the expected benefits.
The conversation discusses using Minoxidil combined with Azelaic Acid and Tretinoin to promote beard growth. Specific treatments mentioned are Minoxidil (Min), Azelaic Acid, and Tretinoin.
