Pics Of Me Not Maintaining On Finasteride

It’s official. I am not maintaining on finasteride. It looks relatively the same when I pull it back, but my front is diffuse thinning. been on finasteride for 4 years. is it time for Duta?

I'll tell you honestly, I don't see any deterioration compared to what you had 3 years ago. As far as I can tell from the photo, then you had the same density. You have great hair, certainly not the best, but it definitely looks good. I am a few years younger than you, I had a hair transplant, and even after the transplant, my hair is much worse than yours. Keep taking finasteride and don't worry about it.

Do you think U should switch to Duta?

It's hard for me to say for sure. Perhaps, if you still think that the density has decreased, you know better, you should switch to dutasteride, although there is no guarantee that there will be a significant difference compared to finasteride.

Finasteride reduces DHT about 70%, dutasteride about 95%. Neither will completely stop hair loss, but slow it and occasionally cause regrowth.

Your pictures are limited because you took them from arms length with a phone, so they're going to have a fish eye effect which makes it extremely difficult to see if there's been an objective change. Qualitatively they look identical though.

Green shirt is now. Greyish shirt is a year ago. I’m simply not maintaining on finasteride. Been on it since 2019. Im 29.

 

[JohnSmith21]

I just have a ton of miniaturization now. It makes no sense because I’ve been maintaining since 2019. Then boom this year, ton of loss. Looks diffuse

Your hairline is a lot better than the original pictures on this post. You definitely have enough hair at this point that you could pull off both really long or really short hairstyles without embarrassing yourself. If you prefer to comb it over the top that's one thing, but you definitely don't need to do it to hide hair loss at this stage.

Even the extreme left and right temples look much better than they did originally. Propecia is definitely fighting and slowing down future hair loss in your case.

Thanks bro! What Norwood do u think I am? I just turned 29, so I feel like I could always go the transplant route

 

[bsmith]

I'm going to guess a Norwood two, if that. It is a decent hairline now.
