I have been using finasteride (1.25mg per day), and twice daily minoxidil for about 10 years now and have been able to maintain most of my hair. Over the past two years or so I have started to notice thinning around my hairline, so I tried 4 sessions of PRP 3 months apart and felt there was no change or maybe a little more hair loss progression. There is a clinic nearby offering Benev exosome injections for hair loss, but I cant find many before/after comparison pics for it. Is it effective?
I've been using topical minoxidil 10% with redensyl 5% and procapil 5%, and topical minoxidil 7% with 5% caffeine, and shampoo with ketoconazol 1% with salicylic acid 1%, and hair regrowth vitamins along with Viviscal Man with Oral Minoxidil 5mg a day.
Im 27 years old, had hair transplant 2 years ago, experiencing hair loss 1 year ago Currently on dutasteride 1mg, oral minoxidil 1mg and finasteride 1mg plus 5% topical min every day, also on HRT and take estradiol valerate and triptolin. Pull test is negative only 2 3 hair from 60 to 80 strands of hair.thinning is happening all over my head back,sides and hair line it's less noticeable at hairline , had 3 prp session which makes hair loss worse, someday i lose 300 hair.biopsy is in photos
Hello, Hairloss Doctors. Is topical minoxidil better than oral? Or vice versa? There was study recently stating that oral minoxidil at 5mg was not superior to topical. I have never used minoxidil oral or topical, but want to start using one of the methods, but I prefer topical. So since 5mg oral is not superior is it wise to stick to topical? As less systemic side effects regarding edema, cardiovascular side effects etc. thank you https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38598226/
I started 5% topical minoxidil + finasteride and started getting fantastic results after 4 months. I stopped the minoxidil for 3 months while continuing finasteride and I began shedding a significant amount of hair after 2 months. I've now been on 2.5mg oral minoxidil for a month and I'm still experiencing a lot of shedding. Is this normal? I'm really worried the oral minoxidil won't bring back the gains I got from the topical solution... Any help would be so appreciated.
I have been use minoxidil for 6-7 months now, at first I did experience the shedding, and hairs grow back since then. But now it is shedding again, and worst the ever before. I read a lot peoples blog about the second shedding. Some said it will grow back, some said will not. I am still keep using the minoxidil, and I just want to know is the second shedding normal? Will the hair grow back? Is the minoxidil shedding cycle real? Will there be next shedding? Thank you so much!
