Is it possible to go from Norwood 2 to Norwood 1 using Dutasteride and Minoxidil?

Asked By:adic in Chicago, IL

I'm a 21 year old asian male and I noticed my hair was thinning a few months ago. My hairline is at about NW2. I'm guessing my hair loss has been going on for about a year, maybe more. Once I noticed my hair loss, I immediately started taking 0.5mg dutasteride (off label) and using topical minoxidil 5%. I've been on this regimen for 2 months. My hair loss seems to have slowed down, but I'm not sure if my hairline will ever come back. Is it possible to regrow my hairline?
