I have no real sign that the treatment is "losing effectiveness." My question: to those that say rogaine loses effectiveness, at what time do u think?

Rogaine doesn't lose it's effectiveness. If it gave you a +20% increase in density when you started it will likely always give you about a +20% increase in density.

It doesn't stop you balding though. So if after 2 years you were going to lose 20% density then after two years on minoxidil you will be back to where you started. Although if you stopped at this time you would drop the 20%.

Some slow balding people might get 5 - 10 years before they are back to what they were at when they started. Other's will only get 1 - 2 years. It all depends on the speed of your balding and how well you respond (eg. +10%, +20% etc).

Pavi, how has the 2% Ketoconazole been working for you? I got a prescription for it before from my GP once, and it's like a red syrup color. It wasn't long before I stopped using it as it fried my hair, it's extremely drying let alone all the sulfates in it. That was a while ago, it was before I even got on Dutasteride.

Minoxidil is good though, glad to know it's helping you. :)

I actually LOVE keto 2%. I combine it with the laser comb and after everything dries my hair looks extremely thick; it looks to the point where people would say "you have thick hair" '

PM me bro. My hairline improved at the top of the temples. For instance, it use to be a "U" and now it's an "M" but I have curly hair that easily conceals my
Hairline

bruh what's the reason you're not using any more powerful anti-androgens than keto? I think you've said before but I don't remember
