A user reported noticeable hair regrowth after using 5% topical minoxidil daily and microneedling weekly since mid-January. They previously used dutasteride for four years with minimal effect.
The post and conversation are about HMI-115, a potential treatment for hair loss. The conclusion is that HMI-115 is not a 5ar-inhibitor and is instead a prolactin receptor inhibitor. Some users are skeptical about its effectiveness and believe that baldness will still be a problem in the future.
The user reports positive progress in hair growth using 0.25mg finasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole shampoo, and microneedling, with minimal hair shedding and some new hair growth. They experienced decreased libido with finasteride but no longer have side effects from minoxidil.
New hair loss treatments include topical and gel formulations combining finasteride and dutasteride, with added caffeine and melatonin. The user reports positive results from using topical dutasteride.
User noticed receding temples, used minoxidil and microneedling with positive results. Added saw palmetto and eucapil, experienced shedding and thinner hairline, but no side effects.
The user stopped using topical minoxidil and finasteride after 2.5 months and switched to oral finasteride, 1mg daily, and did microneedling 1.5mm seven times. They experienced occasional sleep issues and watery semen as side effects, which stopped after discontinuing the topical treatment.
Finasteride, minoxidil, dermarolling, and topical antiandrogens are effective for hair regrowth. Future treatments may include CB0301 and hair cloning.
The user shared a 1-year progress on hair loss treatment using topical minoxidil twice daily, finasteride daily, microneedling, oral minoxidil, and Nizoral every three days, showing significant improvement. Commenters expressed admiration for the results and hope for their own hair recovery.
Oral minoxidil treatment increased hair density and shaft caliber in AGA patients. Side effects included hypertrichosis and lower extremity edema, with younger patients experiencing fewer side effects.
The user shared progress pictures after 4 months of using 5% topical minoxidil and microneedling for hair loss. They discussed their positive results and experiences with these treatments.
