Hi I’m 21 and have been noticing hairloss for a couple years now this year I started using topical finasteride mix solution and micro needling once a week it’s been 5 months and my hair looks more thin but I’m wondering if this is a shed my temples seem to have a lot of small hair (can be seen in the pics) but not sure if this is potential regrowth or miniaturization also if I was to do an fue how many grafts would I need? Thanks

Regrowth can take time, what else are you using? There does seem to be regrowth as I been using Topical Finasteride since 2010, does work.

Check here for Topical Finasteride might be cheaper and they give forum members discount:

Thanks jazz u seem to be the only one responding to my threads lol just this a dermarolling really I’m not sure if what I seeing here is regrowth or the old hair getting weaker is there a way to tell?

It is usually old hair getting weaker but for people using regrowth agents, they could be new terminal follicles.

Thank you! This is the 5th month of use and it could very well be that it’s barely starting to work

I had honestly never noticed any such "baby" hairs until my recent hair recovery. They somehow do look different from the white miniaturized hair in that they appear more robust and patterned. If the growth becomes more robust, they will darken in color and hopefully increase in anagen.

What does your mixture contain and you only using once per day topical Finasteride? You using minoxidil twice per day?

Try taking the exact same angles and distance next time, thats what i do every week for months now and i can see any change very very easily without asking someone.

Seems like crown recession is staring now too worrying because a few months ago it wasn’t that bad I’m not using topical finasteride on the crown because I didn’t notice thinning until now

6% minoxidil 0.05% finasteride or 60mg/ml minoxidil and 0.5mg/ml finasteride only once in the evening I apply to the temples I do not use anything else besides this and dermarolling as I think more minoxidil would be way too much? I will probably still get a hair transplant on my temples in the next few years though

Started taking finasteride today wondering if taking half and finasteride tablet and continuing the topical finasteride would be overkill? Would taking a whole tablet everyday and using topical finasteride be too much? Also noticing crown thinning so good taht I hoped on finasteride now

Please see a derm and get a professional diagnoses
Already did he said male pattern baldness for the temples for the middle of my head I was diagnosed with vitiligo which is why my skin is white there and the hair fell out and the remaining hair grows out white just wanted to know what to expect this is a forum for that btw to get insight into other peoples experiences

If you never used oral finasteride I would just take oral, and not think about it. I get zero sides from finasteride, most people don’t get sides. Keep it simple
