I thought this happened for me after stopping dutasteride as I had no loss for a good few months, but eventually it returned. Assume it was the long half life of duta. You are very lucky though, congrats on beating the disease.

Based on what? It nukes DHT more effectively than finasteride, ergo it's generally more effective.

It worked well for me for years. I only stopped because of side effects.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32897622/ This is the study I was referring to. I am only doing it to improve min penetration. If you're trying to hit the follicle then you'll need longer. I'm also using a derminator so depths will be more consistent than a manual roller. It's pretty difficult...

Animal studies are ethically atrocious and also dumb AF since they can't replicate male pattern baldness. These dickheads should just try it on themselves.

IME no. When I stopped I had no immediate hairloss for a few months. My guess is because it has a long half life and/or other stuff to do with hair growth phases.

May as well use minoxidil straight after stamping IMO. You're making holes for it to permeate so that should be most effective straight away. But just my bro science opinion. I think actual studies suggest 0.6mm was most effective depth for dermarolling but DYOR. Longer needles seem to be used by...

Currently just use topical min and use a dermapen when I can be bothered. Slowly losing the battle. Fina and duta worked but gave those up a long time ago because of side effects. The choice seems to be to either battle DHT and suffer side effects, or let DHT run wild, avoid side effects and...

You literally made all of this up. The only synthetic ingredients in protein shakes might be sweeteners or flavourings. It's basically whey protein. None of that will make your hair fall out.

I got the generic which wasn't expensive.

Going to the gym and using protein shakes won't make you lose hair and neither is it unhealthy ffs.

I used to get duta from united pharmacies.

Excuse the old bump but just wondered what % tret you use? I see the solutions with it included use 0.025% but it's available in up to 0.1%.

Haha yeah same. It's like polishing a turd. I want to fade mine but it's virtually impossible doing it yourself.

Reduced libido and generally lowered mood, fat accumulation in typical female areas. Basically high estrogen symptoms.
