Results After 8 Weeks (finasteride, minoxidil., Ketoconazol, Supplements)

[criOpz]

Hi, I am 37 (Asian/Caucasian) from Germany and my hairloss started when I was about 19. I applied Minoxidil (Brand Spectral) for the first time on my scalp when I was about 29 but unfortunately I did not see any new hair growth, but at least it stopped my hairloss at that time. But pretty dissapointed of the results I stopped using it after about 5 months.

8 Years later on 12th July 2018 I finally decided to try finasteride (1mg per day) and combinded it with Minoxidil (Brand Alopexy in the morning / Regaine/Rogaine Foam in the evening) + 0.5mm Dermaroller (2x a week), Ketoconazol and Supplments (Daily: Vitamin B-Complex, Zinc, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, OPC, Magnesium, / Copper (1x time a week)), Shampoo Anaphase 6x per week, Ket 1x per week. I did not experience any adverse effects from finasteride nor did I experience any shedding so far.

I workout 2 times per week and I do not waste much thought about what I eat. I just check that I get enough proteins and carbs for muscle growth and I just try to stay healthy. I rarely drink alcohol/energy drinks etc. and I quit smoking when I was about 25.

Here are my results after about 2 months. I have to admit that it works faster and better than I expected and new hair is growing everywhere on my scalp. I am looking forward to the next months and I will keep this thread updated.

Edit: I keep wearing my hair for the next 6 months short, so that we can see here the real results.

Looks really positive. You can see it's coming in fast and much darker. You could be a fast responder by the looks of it. Will be interesting to see how you go after 6 months. You should have really good growth. Well done.

 

[Me Vs DiffuseThinning]

Those who see results earliest, tend to get the most growth. Keep at it!

 

[teknoo]

It would be good to know which products supplements and their generic names that you use?

 

[Derelict]

great progress, you are a fast responder.

 

[criOpz]

Thank you all for the encouraging feedback! The next update will be posted within in the next 2 months.

Here you are! I have added a list of all supplements/medications to my first post.

Here is an update! My result after 3 and a half months (picture below). During the last 6 weeks I did a few changes:

• I replaced my roller with a derma pen. Instead of using the Roller/Derma Pen 2 times per week i use it now every 2nd day (0.5mm). Derma Pen: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07B2RYSPB/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
• I use Ketozolin 2% every second day
• I didn't cut my hair since the last six weeks. I just wanted to see the weak growing spots better. Usually my hair grows very fast without medication but with medications it feels like it grows up to 50% percent faster.

As you can see the medications work pretty well. After 14 weeks from actually skin-bald to this. It is still not dense because it is all new hair but you can see it growing all over my scalp, even at the temples.

Next update will be within the next 8 Weeks!
