Hey guys, After battling with hairloss for almost 4 years, I finally realised I was getting nowhere and have now got a more permanent solution; SMP. This is how my hair was before, pretty thin throughout the middle, but I still maintained a decent hairline. I did a pretty decent job of...

How is that working out for you so far? And how long have you been on it? I did consider trying other drugs, but I’m kind of at the point of accepting the inevitable, so I’m going for the scalp micropigmentation option while I still have some hair, so I can get away with a shaved look and make...

L ikewise, Im not familiar with the drt? what is that?

what does estradiol do? I'm not familiar with this

I agree. I don’t think I am responding either, but thought it would be worth a shot, so no regrets in that sense. My hair does seem to be continuing to thin though and maybe the fun has slowed that down, maybe it hasn’t. Now it’s time to move on to the plan B!

So I started using finasteride around Jan 2018 through til now. Fortunately for me I have had none of the side effects that some people find. This is how my thinning hair looked when I started: And this is how it is now: Slightly different lighting, but it can be seen that my hair has...

I dont think you have to worry at this point, looks more like a mature hairline kicking in to me

Im pretty ok, hair where it should be, chest stomach, face, legs, arms etc. Not sure where my testosterone levels are at though - i couldnt grow a beard until about 27, so I kinda figured they werent that high

Thanks for the feedback guys. I may think about adding in minoxidil and derma rolling - would 1 application twice a week of ninoxidil make any difference? Or does it have to be daily? Is it true that minoxidil can make your hair shed more before it regrows? That could be a worry! Also, how...

No problem. I am 29 now, I would say I first started noticing a thinning area in the middle/back of my head around 4 years ago. Gradually over time, this became more noticeable until I felt the need to start using concealors breifly around 2 years ago. Again the thinning had gotten worse over...

For the record, I find the daily routine of applying concealers and styling my hair tiresome. Not popping a pill

Thanks for the feedback guys, I did consider minoxidil but thought it could be difficult with the concealors/having to wait for it to dry before applying etc plus I didnt know that it only works for 2-3 years. I’ve not really explored dermarolling - what does it actually do for the hair?

Hi guys, So today marks the 1 year anniversairy since i started taking finasteride 1mg daily. Thought I would share some pics of where I started: And where I am now: Unfortunately it hasnt been the great success story I had hoped for! I actually think my hair has gotten a little worse if...

Have you noticed any results from derma rolling and minoxidil? Currently on finasteride but not seeing any regrowth results after 7 months, interested in trying DR and min

Yeah thats my worry, ive been on it now for 7 months and not seen results... but it could be that its just been maintaining or slowing the loss... like i could potentially be in a much worse situation now if I hadnt taken it ... but then you would never know! So im worried if i stop, the...
