minoxidil... Which one? pics*

brandnew · Oct 18, 2009

I have tried finasteride twice and at different dose levels and has gave me sides. I am going to try minoxidil by itself along with my keto 1% and I just bought a dermaroller. My question is do you think I will have much luck with just that combination since finasteride is out? I think I will apply it once daily and at night. What is my best brand and percent of minoxidil for my hair loss type?

I have read many stories where it was nearly pointless to use just minoxidil because the results didnt last.

My hair is no longer that short but I think my left temple has started to shed worse. The pics were taken 2 months ago and under bright bathroom light with flash.

Sides from finasteride is pretty normal, i got ball ache for quite a while untill my body adapted.were ur sides long term?.

finasteride is fighting the real problem which is your body attaking your hair, minoxidil is great for growing hair but that hair will still be having a hard time.

You can get results with just minoxidil, some ppl even have results with just nizoral, looking at your pics you may be able to get away with it as you arnt all that bad.

best advice would be just to give it a go, no1 can answer really as everyone is different, some respond amazingly, others dont.

thank you for your response. i tried once for a little over three months and quit. then started this time with .5 for about a month and then could barely get it up and couldnt get off for three days. then i decided to drop to .25 everyday and still had sides. i couldnt stay hard. I wonder if .25 eod or .25 every two days would benefit at all. Now that i have been off for 4 days there is a huge difference and day by day I can tell my body is getting better.

I read a lot on here about dr. lees minoxidil going on easy but have no idea which one I should try. Will two percent even be worth my while once daily with the dermaroller?
