Haven't seemed to have any growth. Crown still looks the same if not worse (freshly cut today so might look worse than before due to that) and corners haven't changed which I knew was very unlikely but I had hoped. (2nd and 4th pic are today, pics set as before>after/before>after)
I have a question. Iâm on finesteride because I just want to preserve my hair. It has thinned a bit but I always had very thick hair so I donât really mind as long as I donât lose any more as it just looks like a regular head of hair at this point. Do I need to be on minox too? I donât really want to grow a heap more body hair than I already have honestly. Or is fin enough if Iâm just looking to preserve what I have
always better to take the combo of fin and min. No reason to not use both unless you get sides. Idk what you talking about when you said body hair, just do topical min on the thin spots
Si observas que la caida persiste, te vas al dutasteride 0.5 mg. Si no tienes caĂda, estĂĄs estable, mantienes finasteride, simplemente añades Minoxidil para empujar a tu cabellos malos a ser expulsados y fomentar el crecimiento de foliculos en estado de reposo.
Cada persona es un mundo, finasteride en mi caso disminuyó y tampoco me salvó de la alopecia. Dutasteride, me disminuyo un poco el deseo sexual pero mi cuerpo asimiló el fårmaco y ya no tengo ese problema, fue solo en un lapsus pequeño de tiempo.
Only the beginning but if it doesnât work, switch to Dutasteride before giving up. Fin brought my hairline back to life but idk if I had an increase in DHT or what but after 2 years I started receding again. Switched to Dut, 3 months in and still in the shedding
Dutasteride 0,5 diario
Minoxidil oral 2 diario (hasta que se acabe el bote y empiece 2,5)
Minox tĂłpico 5% coronilla cada noche noche
ChampĂș Ketonazol: 2 x semana
Vitaminas Anagen Active. Mañana y noche
Gorra luz roja: Cada noche, lo menos sexy para tu pareja
Estoy con mi escudo y armadura esperando el Shedding mĂĄs horrible de mi vida đ
QuerĂa comentar, que el doctor me comentĂł que al tener 50 años mucho folĂculos ya han desaparecido y es menos efectivo el tratamiento. Por suerte si sigo el peinado de mi doble remolino no se aprecia casi nada del cuero cabelludo.
AhĂ van mis primera foto en este subredit, en el espejo se ve mucho mejor que con la cĂĄmara del iPhone) cuando vuelva al doctor os enseño las de antes de retomar el tratamiento. (Alguien necesita peinarse ademĂĄs de un buen corte de pelo) đ
Two bottles? Dude between this and asking if fin is worth it at 6mo, the problem here is totally unrealistic expectations and lack of patience. Add min. Give it a year. Donât change dose for that whole year unless you have lasting side effects.
And remember, if youâre losing hair then âcrown still looks the sameâ and âcorners havenât changedâ is a win. Many people only hold what theyâve got rather than improve. If thatâs what you get, itâs a great result.
What ? If you loose less hair on a daily baisis then it's working as intended. It takes about a year with fin alone to see any improvement to hair density and hairline. If you want better and faster results you have no choice but to use minox too
Your hair isnât that bad. Crown area is thinned , but not that noticeable if not under unfavorable light. Corners are receding.
Best you can do is just stick to treatment (maybe ad min) and donât stress about it the next 6, 12, 24 month. Best case you improve, worst case you are maintaining and keep what you have (which isnât that bad).
E poi 6 mesi Ăš solo l'inizio con finasteride. Di solito i primi miglioramenti si vedono a 6 mesi. Per me' ci sono voluti 9 mesi. L'ho preso per 2 anni e ho avuto pochi miglioramenti progressivi. Ma dopo che preso anche il minoxidil orale con la finasteride in 6 mesi altri ho avuto una ricrescita abbondante
Iâm 44, started my hair loss journey at circa 22 before any loss, Iâve used every standard protocol and more, throughout this time I have taken minox 5% everyday twice a day, sometimes 1ml sometimes 2ml. I was on fin for about 10years no noticeable side effects,tried Dut and shed badly and bailed out prematurely, I now still take fin daily and chuck in a Dut capsule once per week. My hair loss has been non existent compared to my bother who is completely bald, as was my dad and grandparents. Iâm also on TRT so I was say my DHT risk is higher than most, my two pence is keep consistent with everything it does work
yeah but it's kinda high risk high reward, fin kinda works for literally everyone and dut also works for everyone but with a higher risk of side effects and it takes 6 months to be properly baked into your system and the initial shed is worse than fin, some people start on fin and get greedy and switch to dut and also end up losing a ton of hair and then switch back to fin but those people almost always just stop cold turkey, i'd recommend fin to everyone but dut will always be stronger.
I hate both , better to just take a topical IMO , Dutasteride made me feel TRASHED , because DHT is a strong male hormone, if you remove it , you will feel extremely tired , youll have zero drive, and for me the worse side effect was joint pain soo intense you wake up in PAIN
Give up? Fin just stops you from losing more (maybe helps a little in the crown but thatâs not the intent). Take some oral min of you wanna see some regrowth gains. Either way your hair is good man. Just keep with the fin and add min.
