A 22-year-old is using dutasteride 0.5mg daily, oral minoxidil 2.5mg, biotin 5mg, and microneedling for hair loss. They also use a shampoo with saw palmetto and green coffee but are unsure of its effectiveness due to its high cost.
The user has been using Dutasteride for over a year for hair loss and is considering a hair transplant if it doesn't work. Suggestions include adding Minoxidil and microneedling, but some advise against a transplant as the current treatment seems effective.
The user started using topical minoxidil 5% and ketoconazole shampoo for hair loss, noticing minimal progress after three months, with fine hairs appearing. They experienced a setback when reducing the application to once a day but resumed twice daily applications.
Minoxidil and finasteride work through different mechanisms; minoxidil-dependent hair requires continued use to maintain growth, while finasteride prevents further hair loss but cannot sustain minoxidil gains alone. Current treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and others need indefinite use, as no permanent solution exists yet.
The conversation discusses using minoxidil, finasteride, spironolactone, and RU58841 for hair loss treatment. Users share experiences with these treatments, noting side effects and varying effectiveness.
The user had high DHT levels after 8 months on dutasteride, questioning the drug's authenticity. They got dutasteride from a legitimate source and will update on progress.
