community How common is serious regrowth for people 35yrs old and up?
Regrowth is more likely if hair follicles are still alive, regardless of age, but younger individuals often see better results due to early intervention. Treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dermarolling can help, but results vary based on individual factors such as the presence of miniaturized hairs and the speed of treatment initiation.
community When did your regrowth level out?
Hair regrowth typically levels out after several months of treatment with finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil, with many users experiencing stabilization rather than significant regrowth. Starting treatment early is crucial, as regrowth is rare beyond Norwood 3 without additional interventions like hair transplants.
