    Started Propecia, Going To Post Regular Updates Of My Progress.

    Hey! Yeah, I have already upped it to 0.5mg because I was unsure of the effectiveness of 0.25mg. I read somewhere that 0.25mg was 50% as effective as 1mg and 0.5mg was 80% as effective, how true that is I don't know, so thought I would make the plunge. I can always go back down to 0.25mg if I...

    *UPDATE* (Started Propecia on 19-02-17) 04th March 2017 Noticed increased shedding, however not as bad as before I went on Propecia. Could be a sign I've hit the shedding phase of treatment- which I've read is a good thing, a sign that treatment is working. Today I am going to increase my dose...

    A Few Finasteride Questions Before I Start!

    With a derma roller which is 0.75mm- 1.5mm you can use it once a week, a derma roller which is 0.25mm and generally used to aid the absorption of topicals such as minoxidil they can be used every other day. Although if you're using 1.5mm you should avoid using minoxidil for 24 hours. Derma rolling every...

    Started Propecia, Going To Post Regular Updates Of My Progress.

    Hey, thanks mate. Well my plan is to wait say 4-6 months and see what my results are like, if I'm doing well with no sides then I can't see the point in upping the dose (why change a winning formula). However if I'm not completely satisfied and think my hairloss is continuing to progress then...

    A Few Finasteride Questions Before I Start!

    Hey, no worries man. Well studys show that doses as low as 0.05mg reduce DHT levels almost the same amount as 1mg, it just takes a bit longer to bring your scalp DHT down. Well my plan is to stay on 0.25 mg for say 4-6 months, if I'm not noticing any improvements then I'll bump it up to 0.5 if...

    Are There Any Vitamins/minerals/supplements That We Know...

    Pumpkin seed oil has a few study's showing improvement in hair count, as well as saw palmetto. Flaxseed oil has been shown to work well with pumpkin seed oil. Another natural approach is derma rolling, study's have shown that 1.5mm used once a week can promote hair growth due to increasing blood...

    Lower Dosage of Propecia for Receding Hairline only reduces side effect maybe?

    I realise this is a really old thread, however I'm a new member and have no idea to start my own thread . Okay so I'm a 23 year old male and I've been losing my hair since I was 19, although at a snails pace. Over the last year my hair loss has exploded, and from speaking to my dad who is bald...
