A 25-year old user's progress with only finasteride in treating their hair loss, and other users suggesting minoxidil and dermarolling as additional treatments.
Morr F Aqua, an alcohol-free Minoxidil, is discussed for its absorption effectiveness. Users also mention using finasteride and RU58841 for hair loss treatment.
The user successfully improved their hair from Norwood 3 to 0.5 using finasteride, topical minoxidil, microneedling, and a hair peptide, and plans to maintain it with dutasteride. They are leaving the forum due to emotional distress caused by the community.
The conversation discusses transitioning from topical to oral minoxidil for hair loss treatment and explores the potential use of Aminexil, despite concerns about its effectiveness compared to minoxidil. It highlights the risks and side effects of oral minoxidil, such as potential heart and liver damage, and emphasizes the importance of monitoring blood pressure.
The user is seeking a quicker-drying carrier for RU58841 and Minoxidil to improve adherence to their hair loss treatment routine. They want to apply it after a morning shower without affecting their hair's appearance.
Dutasteride may not effectively stop scalp hair loss and can cause thinning of facial and body hair, including eyebrows. Users suggest considering other causes like autoimmune conditions or vitamin deficiencies and exploring treatments like finasteride or minoxidil.
The user shared progress pictures after 2 months of using Minoxidil 5%, Forcapil, and dermarolling 1.5mm. They experienced initial shedding but noticed slow hair regrowth.
The user has been using finasteride since late 2021 and added oral minoxidil in mid-2024, considering adding dutasteride for better results. Users discuss the effectiveness and side effects of these treatments, with some recommending ketoconazole shampoo for redness.
