A user shared their progress using 1.1mg oral finasteride and 3mg oral minoxidil since January 2024, noting significant improvement without side effects. They previously had an allergic reaction to topical treatments.
The user has been using oral Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Biotin for hair recovery and is considering adding topical Minoxidil and dermastamping to improve results. It is suggested to use micro-needling once a week with a 24-hour gap before applying topical Minoxidil.
The conversation is about using tretinoin with minoxidil for hair loss treatment. The user is seeking advice on usage frequency and results after adding tretinoin to their regimen.
This user has had positive results from taking a 1 mg dose of finasteride and increasing their daily dosage of minoxidil from 2.5 to 5 mg over the course of 9 months.
The user experienced significant hair darkening and progress in hair regrowth over six months using 5% topical minoxidil, 5 mg oral minoxidil, 1 mg finasteride, and weekly microneedling. No side effects were reported from these treatments.
The conversation discusses a natural alternative to Minoxidil for hair loss, with users suggesting peppermint oil and rosemary oil as potential weaker substitutes.
The conversation discusses adding finasteride (Propecia) to a liquid containing stemoxydine for hair loss treatment. The user is inquiring about the effectiveness of this combination.
Minoxidil can cause face bloating, especially when combined with microneedling, as it may increase systemic absorption. Alternatives like Stemoxidine or Aminexil are considered, and some users find relief by adjusting application timing or switching brands.
A user humorously lamented spilling their minoxidil, describing it as a dramatic and personal loss. Others shared similar experiences and advised caution if pets are around.
