5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Do all roads lead back to Turkey?
Hair loss treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride can stabilize hair loss and sometimes regrow hair, but many people still opt for hair transplants, often in Turkey, due to cost and convenience. However, transplants require ongoing medication to maintain results, and not all clinics offer high-quality outcomes.
community How long should you take fin/dut for, before getting a transplant?
The user started taking dutasteride a month ago and is seeking advice on whether to wait for a year before getting a hair transplant, as it could potentially strengthen the donor-zone and require fewer grafts, or to get a transplant immediately, extracting only the "strong hairs" not affected by dutasteride. The user is unsure which approach is correct.
community Is this rollercoaster forever?
A 27-year-old has been using finasteride for nearly a year and minoxidil since December 2024, experiencing initial improvement but recent hair loss again. They are considering microneedling and are concerned about the stability of their hair condition, with stress and other factors potentially affecting results.
community Progress after 5 months of 0.5 mg Dutasteride and 2.5 Mg oral minoxidil. I am considering a transplant eventually so strengthening the base area and doner areas. Suggestions on if I should continue the dosage for sometime before opting for a transplant or should I immediately go for it?
OP is using 0.5 mg Dutasteride and 2.5 mg oral Minoxidil for hair loss and considering a hair transplant. Most users suggest waiting 1-2 years to maximize results from the medication before opting for a transplant.
community Don’t do like me. Don’t take a long break from Fin and Min
Stopping finasteride and minoxidil can cause significant hair shedding, so they should be continued indefinitely. Concerns about finasteride affecting fertility or causing birth defects are mostly unfounded, but some stop for personal reasons.
