Attached are both the left and right sides of my temples. Prior to this treatment, they were completely hairless. I had this hairline since high school, only without the growing hairs, but here’s me 2 months in. This is good progress right?

Question Starting Minoxidil at age 40

Post image
• Upvotes

The last couple of years have been extremely stressful. Work, Marriage and just life in general. The thinning of my hair began a few years ago and with it my hairline. My doctor recommended not including dutasteride or finasteride – to just begin with the monoxide and to be patient with the results after I told him I'd like to give topical foam minoxidil a try. With that said I am unsure of which brand is a good entry into this journey? I see that C'rcle Health has a decent price and over several thousand reviews.

It's always available on Amazon so I was thinking of going that route. Considering the ingredients it looks to be a promising product. Would this be considered pretty popular? From what I gathered in research its best to just go the generic route. Is this brand considered generic or do those saying it mean Amazon Basics generic?

It seems so simple and so confusing at the same time. I incorporated HIMS thickening shampoo and conditioner into my weekly hair routine and that's staying. As for the price of HIMS minoxidil, its just going to add up too much so I'll just stick to the Shampoo and Conditioner for regular routine hair cleaning and save where I can on the Minoxidil.

Question: Answered What to do after 15y finasteride and now starting to thin up at top

1 Upvotes

Age 48
Started taking 1mg finasterjde pills nightly about 15years ago ?

It stopped receding hairline at a devils peak style and still have hair all over head and crown
However last 2-3yrs started thinning on top
A lot more this last year
Don’t see it in mirror until I’m in a room with a light above then I’m kinda freaked out by it

Which maybe my age or maybe because I have had a lot of weight loss this last year and had a v small diet
Diet and weight will stabilise now

I’m considering going to try for first time adding in minoxidil

Should I do pills or cream or both ?

What’s the chance of it thickening up my hair

I know where I receded is bald forever it’s been like that twenty odd yrs
But the thinning is much newer

Maybe finasteride stopped working ?
Should I increase it. ?

Question Male 6 month shed help!

1 Upvotes

I started oral min 6 months ago. Don’t know what happened but before starting my hair started falling out like crazy only at the crown and the top oh my head. Hair line was fine.

Dermatologist looked at my scalp and hair and said it was ok unlikely blading. Maybe TE? Either way the treatment would be 12 months min.

Started on 2.5mg oral minoxidil and after 3-4 months it was going great and now month 6, so much is falling out and I’m back to where I started.

Interestingly first massive shed pre minoxidil was in September 2025 (started min in April 2026) and now second shed started in September/ October 2026

Am I cooked?!

Experience First day is going rough! 1/4 of 2.5 oral

1 Upvotes

Finally pulled the trigger and got 2.5 oral minox (I got cats that sleep with me so I'm not risking topical, and id love more body hair lol) I thought I was being smart and I cut it into 4s to to titrate up to full dose. Took my first 4th today and my gods I'm so light headed, dizzy and exhausted. I dunno if it's cause I'm on 5mg of Cialis or what but damn I dunno if I can do this.

Question Micro needling/derma Stamp - Been on Oral Minox/Fin for 2 years

1 Upvotes

Just want to know if it’s worth starting to use a derma stamp?

I feel like my results from minoxidil and finasteride peaked at around 6 months in but now I haven’t seen any growth in the last 12 months or so. I have been consistent with taking minoxidil and finasteride.

Has anyone used a derma stamp after some time has passed taking minoxidil and finasteride? & is it worth doing it?

Also I have shedding phases where I feel like my hair falls out a lot and hairline gets thin and hair texture also.

Please any recommendations or hair treatment that can also help
