community 6-months on Hims topical minoxidal and finasteride combination, and microneedling once every week or two. The before pic was taken with the front iphone camera so is lower resolution which makes a comparison hard, but perhaps seeing some minor gains in individual hairs thickening.
Using a combination of topical minoxidil and finasteride, plus microneedling, to treat hair loss; the progress made by the original poster over 6 months; the potential for further results with longer use; and the possibility of seeking alternatives such as a hair transplant or system.
community Sugar and Hair loss connections
High sugar diets may worsen hair loss by increasing 5α-reductase activity and androgen levels, especially in women with PCOS. A low sugar diet might reduce scalp DHT levels, similar to finasteride, but genetics also significantly influence hair loss.
