When I joined this forum, 5 years ago I promised myself I would do a thread explaining my journey and in the success story forum and not in "My story"
This day has come. Pay attention that I'm not native in English, you will most likely find errors.
Background
Since my 12 years old, I had a...
You aren't applying Finasteride right ?
If i can give you an advice : Go Propecia or your results won't last.
I did the same mistake, i regret not starting finasteride because i was afraid of side. I lost after 3 years all the gains i had on minoxidil alone.
I started Dermarolling recently...
I'm going to give you some hope.
i start losing my hair at 17. I was completely depressed. I tried to hide it so much, was already norwood 2.5 at 20. heading to the Norwood 3+V at 22 i think.
Then I joigned this forum which helped me a lot and gave me hope.
I started finasteride at 20 et minoxidyl...
Same here. Just using antibacterial spray on it, before using and after using.
Never had problem.
Quick update for me :
I'm 1 month at 1.5mm, begin to see really good progress, Dermrolling is doing wonders at the moment, in one month i'll post picture i think.
Ok guys, i'm 6 weeks inside dermarolling.
The first 4 weeks, i used 0.7mm, was bleeding quite much. Not painfull. Nearly 0 result.
So i decided to go for 1.5 mm and i'm beginning to see some results. It's encouraging, but i can't do it every week when i'm at 1.5, i feel that i need at least 10...
I'm doing 0.8 mm , impossible to do more, i bleed too much. It's not hurting.
I'm using Dr Pen.
Do you think i should increase the depth ? Even if it's bleeding like hell ?
I'm 2 weeks in the process.
Just start Finasteride, don't start MInoxidyl yet, if you wanna have some more gains start minoxidil but i wouldn't recommand if you re happy with your current hairline
I'm not sure your balding, can you post better quality photos ?
With wet hair, with close look on temples
Anyway, if you are worried (You are the best to know if youre balding), go finasteride, don't start minoxidyl. Finasteride will make your hair stabilized, if you have Side effect stop it :)
I'm using Finasteride and Minoxidyl 5% (Since 3 years for minoxidil), my right temple was in bad spot. Went from Norwood 1 to Norwood 2.5 from 18 to 20 years old .
Now i'm Norwood 1.75/1.5 , mostly stabilisation. I'm quite happy, my only regret is that i didn't start earlier. 0 Side effects. Just one pill every...
