Help - Minoxidil And Finasteride Keep The Gains?

[glideoverthis]

If I start using both and stop monoxidil after a few months will finasteride maintain my gains from it? Also does finasteride grow new hair? I don't like the side effects of minoxidil aging and collagen loss

No, finasteride will not maintain your minoxidil gains. Finasteride could potentially regrow some hair, but it’s meant for maintenance. For regrowth your need minoxidil and hope it’ll work for you.

What about if you use minoxidil, get gains from it, and then get on finasteride (without quitting minoxidil.). Is it possible then to keep those follicles you've gotten with minoxidil with the help of finateride?

Finasteride definitely will hold atleast 50% minoxidil gains. Like in my case

You need to keep using both indefinitely. finasteride stops the damage from continuing, but some of those weakened follicles need the boost from minoxidil to remain active
