Hair regrowth from treatments like minoxidil, RU58841, and finasteride is not permanent; stopping these treatments typically results in hairloss resuming. Beard hair can become permanent with minoxidil use, unlike scalp hair, which requires ongoing treatment to maintain gains.
A user started treating hairloss at 55 using 0.5 mg finasteride, 5% minoxidil every second day, and microneedling. They saw noticeable improvement, especially in the front and a previously smooth bald spot.
A 33-year-old male restarted finasteride after stopping it to conceive, noticing hairloss, especially in the crown area. His current routine includes finasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, and microneedling, and he plans to continue this treatment for 18 months before making any major changes.
The person is experiencing sudden hairloss for six months and treatments like dutasteride, minoxidil, and vitamins are not working. Another person suggests the hairloss might not be androgenetic alopecia but could be telogen effluvium or an inflammatory condition.
The user is experiencing stage 2 hairloss and thinning, noticing more scalp visibility with short hair. They are considering diet, yoga, scalp massage, supplements, and a serum recommended by their doctor, and questioning if it's safe to stop using the serum and whether to get a blood test since hairloss isn't a family trait.
The user has been successfully managing hairloss for five years using oral minoxidil and finasteride. They experienced significant improvement and plan to continue the treatment without breaks to maintain results.
Hairloss treatments are difficult because hair follicles react differently to hormones and have varying growth cycles. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
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.
