    Affect of Spironolactone on testosterone and DHT

    Oops, sorry. Say 25 to 50 mg. Would help and block a little more DHT at the same time.

    Affect of Spironolactone on testosterone and DHT

    I appreciate your input. I'm definitely not trying to transition. I am experiencing water retention from Oral minoxidil. I thought perhaps a low dose of Spironolactone, s

    Affect of Spironolactone on testosterone and DHT

    I know I will receive criticism on this post. I'm not trying to be controversial. I just need information. Does Spironolactone block a sufficient percentage of DHT to help with hairloss in men? Does Spironolactone also lower overall Testosterone? Has anyone had success with this drug?

    does oral minoxidil work strengthen the hair all over the head?

    Birdman. I have been on oral Minoxidil for I believe around four months maybe five. I started putting the liquid under my tongue. My General Practioner put me on 10 mg.

    Minoxidil + Latanoprost no results after 6 months

    Same here. I'm seeing promising results in a short time. 5 mg. Twice a day. Eyelashes, eyebrows, facial hair are really going crazy. A lot of new hairs on and just behind hairline are sprouting . The hairs are thicker than I expected.

    What is the best microneedling derma-pen and which settings do you use?

    This is just my opinion. I use a Dr. Pen with 36 needles. 1.5 mm 1 time per week. I turn it to highest speed setting. I try to achieve pin point bleeding. My scalp usually peels a few days later. I'm very happy with my results. Pain is there but tolerable. Been doing this consistently for about...

    Is Tretinoin and adapalene the same?

    I have microneedling under my eyes to decrease the lines and dark circles. I follow up with Hyloronic Acid, cologen, retinol ( 3 in one ) it's doing wonders . Wonder if that would help you?

    Is Tretinoin and adapalene the same?

    I posted previously, asking about differences between Tretinoin and Adapalene. I went ahead with experimenting mixing Minoxidil with Adapalene ( differin Gel ).

    Mega-Dosing--When Does it Pay to Push Recommended Doses Higher?

    I have been consuming liquid Minoxidil at a higher amount than is probably recommended ( 15 mg. × 2 daily ). I have only been do so for a couple of months. I am just trying to " close up " gaps in hairline. I am seeing some small gains. I can definitely see one spot in particular starting to...

    Is Tretinoin and adapalene the same?

    To be real honest , no. I'm rather excited about the prospect of growing a beard. I'm 54. I have never had enough facial hair to try a beard. I trim my eyebrows. I still have no body hair. I have only been on oral minoxidil for a month. It remains to be seen how hypertrichos will ultimately...
