What Can I Do More To Regrow Temple Area

[Stigabe]

My current regimen is :
1 mg daily finasteride
2 times a day minoxidil
3 ketoconazole shampoo other days alpecin for hair growth
4 biotin zinc aquamin magnesium zinc
5 dermaroller
I am thinking about prp treatment or laser i mean I can afford treatment which costs 1500€ but not more.I can see the small hair on my temples i want to make them strong any ideas?

I wouldn't bother going for PRP to be honest. It's expensive as f*** and doesn't do that much for your hair.
Have you gotten any results on your current regime? Got before & after pics?

The results are pretty amazing considering the fact that i use minoxidil for month and half and finasteride since 14 days i will let the pictures talk and u can see these small hair around temple area growing i had 0 hairs there before minoxidil.First 4 pictures are before and other after

Nice ! Looks great man. Just keep at it and you'll be good. This motivates me as f*** to get on finasteride lol

Is it pointless trying only minoxidil on temples?

Yes

Why is it pointless? I only put minoxidil on my hairline, and that includes the temples. They've clearly gotten better

I heard it has to be used with finasteride. I'm still not ready to jump on finasteride but willing to try minoxidil on temples.

Just worried it might have a negative effect on other areas when I will only apply it on temples. Have you experienced any of that?

I've had no negative effects whatsoever. Zero side effects. I felt bloated at the beginning but it faded away after consuming more water.

I am going to show you the way, brother!

1. Use a 1.5 mm dermaroller.

2. Roll ten times sideways, diagnolly, and horizontal over all the
bald areas. This includes the vertex as well. Possible thinning errors.

3. Use 5% Minoxidil after dermarolling. There shouldn't be a lot
of blood, if any.

4. IMPORTANT* Use Finasteride. Most gains are used with the big
two. In fact, you can see results faster and after 12 weeks of usage.

Good luck!

Thats pretty much my regimen what you described

Have you had your hormones checked?

Ye everything fine

Were your DHT levels high?

@Stigabe

You still haven't "maxed out" yet on your hair regrowth. Minoxidil combined with Finasteride
shows maximum results much earlier (and better results), and I believe it is four
months. I also believe the maximum results on Finasteride alone can be up to two years,
but the density regrowth is usually not as good as the combination.

I need to show you a government study, which I recently saw (recommended from @That Guy)

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3746236/

They derma rolled everywhere, even the places with hair.

I actually never did it this way (and I used a smaller needle, but I ordered another one).

The Microneedling+Minoxidil group got a forty one to ninety two percent
density regrowth.

My 1.5 millimeter microneedle has been uploaded in the mail.

@rclark Going to take a hormonetest in a few days. What do I do if my DHT-levels are low? Do I still use finasteride?

I'm almost in my fifties.

I take testosterone to help my plumbing.

If it's a matter of not getting erections, I would recommend cutting down the dosage or
getting supplemental testosterone.

Keep in mind you have to be careful with testosterone supplements. If you use them
too much, your testicles will shutdown testosterone production.

I've already had my kids, so I don't know what to say on that subject.
