community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community 4 years; fin 1mg/day @ 4 years; minox twice daily @ 3 years; estradiol 5mg/day @ 3 months; spiro 100 mg /day @ 3 months (Wet hair because it's easy to hide issues with dry hair)
The user shared their 4-year hair regrowth progress using finasteride, minoxidil, estradiol, and spironolactone. They noted significant regrowth by the second year and additional benefits from estradiol and spironolactone.
community 18 months Dut - Shed after shed without any gains
Dutasteride caused persistent hair shedding and no improvement for 18 months, leading to a switch back to finasteride. The user also uses oral minoxidil and plans to focus on better scalp health.
community Can't believe I've slept on microneedling for so long.
Microneedling with minoxidil and finasteride greatly improves hair regrowth. Using 0.5mm depth every other day boosts minoxidil absorption without side effects.
community If you aren't happy with your results but haven't tried microneedling: why not?
Microneedling with minoxidil significantly boosts hair growth, even for non-responders to minoxidil alone. The routine includes a 1.5mm dermaroller weekly and minoxidil twice daily, with some users adding finasteride and tretinoin.
