A 19-year-old seeking advice on hair loss treatment is considering options like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. They are looking for guidance to potentially revive their hair.
The conversation is about using a topical spray containing minoxidil, finasteride, and tretinoin for hair regrowth over six months, with positive results and minimal side effects. The user also mentions using biotin and alpecin, and discusses the benefits of topical application over oral forms.
Finasteride and dutasteride are still available in the EU, with a warning about potential suicidal thoughts. The benefits of these treatments are deemed greater than the risks.
Biotin may strengthen existing hair and reduce hair loss, but it doesn't promote new hair growth. Some users report stronger, darker hair, while others see no benefits or experience acne.
The conversation discusses hair regrowth treatments, including oral minoxidil 5mg and finasteride 1mg on alternate days, along with derma rolling, biotin, and other supplements. The user reports good hair growth and reduced hair fall, with no side effects from oral minoxidil except increased body hair.
The user has maintained their hair over 10 years using oral finasteride, oral and topical minoxidil, and other treatments like LLLT and ketoconazole. Despite starting hair loss at 17, they have largely preserved their hair, with some users suggesting a hair transplant for sparse areas.
The user shared their 5-year hair recovery journey using finasteride, RU58841, dutasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling, noting mixed progress but overall improvement. They regret not starting treatment earlier and recently received positive health feedback from their doctor.
The conversation discusses experiences with Haircross Hair Growth Serum, which contains Redensyl, Capixyl, Procapil, Anagain, and Baicapil, as an alternative to Minoxidil and Finasteride. Users report mixed results, with some experiencing no regrowth and others noting slight thickening, but concerns about side effects and effectiveness compared to standard treatments remain.
Finasteride may take over two years to show results and can cause side effects like sexual dysfunction and emotional changes. Alternatives such as dutasteride and minoxidil are discussed, with varying effectiveness and side effects.
