Guys/Gals, I'm a little concerned about everyone who's suddenly jumping on this bandwagon.
Only 2 of us here reported any success. In one of them (my case) daro was not an extreme game changer. It was microneedling that kicked off new growth, and RU that accelerated it. Daro only seemed to be a slight improvement over RU, and that could even be placebo effect.
On the other hand, there are lots of reasons to wait a bit and see how it really turns out:
- Produced by unknown, unregulated Chinese labs, not intended for internal use
- Due to the above, we don't know what contaminants could be left in the stuff you get. My last mixture ended up with a swirl of white powdery looking stuff at the bottom. WTF is that, some other chemical? Is it going to give me cancer?
- The drug itself is so new, and structurally different from other similar drugs (Enzalutamide), that all we really know come from early clinical trials with very short-term use
We're all panicking because we're too young to be losing hair. But that's the point, we're young and have a lot of life left. Any one of us could get a well done "hair system" and end the anxiety, stop taking crazy risks, and go on living a confident life without screwing up our future with weird drugs.
Replicel/Shiseido RCH-01 in a year or so. Follica in maybe 2 years? Tsuji/Riken in maybe 3 years? PDO threads potentially NOW? The future is bright.
If I were, say, 19 and balding, I'd get a "hair system" immediately, NEVER look bald, and wait for the good stuff that we know is coming.
Personally I've decided to lower my dose of daro for all of the above reasons, plus a concern about gyno. Been feeling pressure in the nipple areas, and starting to think that more anti-androgens weren't a great idea. I was getting slow but steady regrowth on just min+finasteride+needling, and was stable on that for years.
Just trying to help y'allz...
