A 34-year-old male shares his hair regrowth journey using Minoxidil Max Dual Gen with topical finasteride, hairoil, derma rolling, and nizoral shampoo, emphasizing persistence and consistency. Despite some skepticism about lighting and treatment effectiveness, he reports significant progress over 12 months.
The conversation is about the effectiveness of finasteride (fin) in preventing hair loss after a hair transplant. Some users have experienced hair thinning and loss after stopping finasteride, while others have had success with finasteride and minoxidil (min) in maintaining their transplanted hair. The general consensus is that finasteride is important for younger patients to prevent further hair loss.
Creatine is believed by some to cause hair loss, potentially by increasing DHT levels, despite conflicting evidence. Users report mixed results when combining creatine with treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil.
The conversation discusses the storage and use of pyrilutamide for hair loss, where one user advises against keeping it in the freezer as it may crystallize the active compounds.
A user lost 60% hair density in 4 months, started finasteride and microneedling, and has greasy, flaky, yellowish scalp. They are awaiting biopsy results, and another user suggested trying ketoconazole shampoo.
