Finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil are discussed as treatments for male pattern baldness. Finasteride and dutasteride are effective DHT blockers, while minoxidil is necessary for regrowth but must be used consistently.
community My progress using min/keto/dermaroller/biotin/Pura d'or and Propidren
The user shared their hair loss treatment progress using minoxidil, ketoconazole shampoo, a dermaroller, biotin, Pura d'or shampoo, and Propidren. They apply minoxidil daily, take Propidren and biotin pills, use two types of shampoo, and use a dermaroller weekly, avoiding finasteride due to concerns about side effects.
community Experience with only Minoxidil and Nizoral
Minoxidil and Nizoral alone are unlikely to stop hair loss effectively, as they do not address the root cause, which is often DHT. Many users suggest incorporating a 5AR inhibitor like finasteride or dutasteride for better results, despite concerns about potential side effects.
community ~5 months topical minoxidil + oral finasteride results (swipe images). Slacked with minoxidil this past month, trying to wean off anyways. My last update because I’m hopping off fin and switching to RU in a few weeks (nothing to do with fin efficacy, just experimenting).
The user experienced significant hair thickening after using topical minoxidil and oral finasteride for about 5 months and is considering switching from finasteride to RU58841. Other users encourage the original poster to continue the current treatment due to the positive results.
community Can someone explain the Dutasteride hysteria in this community?
The conversation is about the double standard in the hair loss community regarding shedding when using different treatments. The conclusion is that shedding is considered normal when starting finasteride or minoxidil, but not when starting dutasteride, despite the fact that dutasteride is more effective at reducing DHT.
community Does anyone here use everything except Fin
The conversation is about hair loss treatments, specifically Minoxidil (Min) and Finasteride (Fin). The original poster is considering using Min and other treatments but is hesitant about Fin, while the responses vary, with some advocating for early use of Fin and others warning about potential side effects.
