A new study suggests microneedling alone doesn't benefit male balding, but users argue the study's methods differ from common practices, like combining microneedling with minoxidil and using more frequent treatments. Some believe the study's short duration and infrequent sessions are inadequate to assess microneedling's effectiveness.

The user "ajsr8" shared their story of hair loss despite being on treatments. They started using finasteride in 2019 and later tried topical minoxidil, but it didn't seem to work. They also experienced side effects from other treatments. They are considering cutting off their hair and stopping the medications if there is no improvement in three months. Other users suggested trying different treatments and getting a blood test to check for underlying conditions.

Many people experience hair loss but don't treat it. Common treatments include Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling.

A user asked if anyone who didn't respond to minoxidil saw improvement after adding tretinoin. One person replied they saw hair growth on their hairline after using a combination of minoxidil, finasteride, and tretinoin, suggesting tretinoin may have made them respond to minoxidil.

Missing a few days of oral minoxidil won't significantly affect progress, but may cause temporary increased shedding. Resume normal dosage once the delivery arrives without doubling up.

OP is using finasteride and minoxidil for hair loss but hasn't seen results after four months. Users advise that noticeable results typically take a year or more, and suggest daily dosing for effectiveness.

Finasteride can reduce semen volume due to prostate shrinkage but doesn't affect fertility. To increase semen volume, consider zinc, lecithin, and reducing finasteride dosage.

RU58841 is being considered for hair maintenance by someone who can't tolerate finasteride. Alternatives like topical finasteride, dutasteride, and KX826 are also suggested.

Microneedling alone may slightly slow hair loss but doesn't promote regrowth or improve hair density. Combining treatments like finasteride or minoxidil with microneedling may yield better results.

An 18-year-old is concerned that finasteride hasn't stopped his hair loss after several months. Suggestions include giving it more time, combining it with minoxidil, and consulting a dermatologist.
