Hi guy and in today's video we look at my progress for the first 1 year of taking finasteride by microdosing Propecia. This video shows you what you can expect when you first start taking Finasteride during your first year of use. In the video I go through the process and how the gains were for me from the first week which was back in October 2008 to December 2009. When I started out you can see from the picture just how much diffused thinning I had. Styling my hair had become almost impossible and it was very clear at this point that I was going bald. My scalp was beginning to become quite visible and I had also gained a lot of weight as a result of this. As time goes by and I start taking care of myself and start using finasteride as well you can see how my hair starts to regrow back in areas where I had lost it. I must say that it all did not happen just at once but little by little as I tracked my progress you can see how it moved from the first week in October when I started to the last week in December 2009.

hi, please advise what should I do) My situation is not dire, but the process has started, what is better: start taking finasteride and minoxidil together with a mesoscooter or get a transplant right away?) the transplant for me will cost only $800 since you have your own hair. but if I get a transplant, it turns out that in any case I will be prescribed finasteride for life to save my hair?! This is the problem: transplant or finasteride with minoxidil( sorry for google translate)

My hairline has gotten worse, not drastically but I can see that it has slowly thinned and receded.

Hi Alex, beautiful results, I'm 29 my hair line receded about 1cm, I got fin prescription, I take like 1.25mg every other day for 3 months now, but hair is falling the same rate and the hairline is thinning further, did I need to try to take fin every day or search for other reasons maybe it's not DHT, because before I notice shedding 2 years ago, I take antibiotics, after that, I got seborrheic dermatitis(or something similar) on my hairline and a lot of dandruff on my head. I heal it with special shampoo, but maybe it's still doing something to my hair follicles it's just not visible on my skin, because I'm using that shampoo time to time, to not get that itching red spots on my scalp.

@billyjoeguy640 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, I’m not Alex but I will respond to your comment for you. I’m 22 years old, and I got unlucky with my hairline recession starting when I was 17, now I take finasteride 1 gram and my hairline is mostly back to normal, which has been really satisfying for me. Depending on who you are and your genetics, finasteride might not work for everyone as well as the best patient, but from what I know, At your age being 16, I would not really recommend taking finasteride to begin with, but I understand that you are really young and you want to stop your hairline early with the hair that you have before it’s too late. You should definitely ask your GP or a dermatologist to see what the best solution for you is, but generally speaking, I’m pretty sure that a 0.5 would work fine for you, to at least stop the recession before you can take a stronger version to regrow your hair. Again though, best advice anyone can give to you is to ask a doctor first. But finasteride 0.5 is not a bad idea for you to start off with, if you want to save the hair you have left and to maybe even regrow it.

Hair loss can be caused by several factors, not just dht and that could be a reason you haven't been able to stop the progression. If the only factor that you are losing hair is because of dht then taking dht blocker like finasteride will help. Regarding side effects, one way to determ is by hormonal test and look at total testosterone compare dht, if dht levels are less then10-15 % of TT then there is a higher possibly for side effects

wow congrats on your growth! happy that you were able to take control and regain your hair. it is unlikely that your hairline was re-established from fin alone and thats ok but please let others know that you had a hair transplant so they dont get their hopes up. your face is better framed now. appreciate you making the video, please also let us know your dosage and other supplements you are taking. i saw in the comments you said it is personalized and we get that everyone is different but it would be nice to know what you are taking

Hey Chris, hair regrowth is a complex process. You need to address hair loss from all angles. Most guys address it only by the angle of growth stimulation and dht blocking. To get results I have been able to get (and keep for almost a decade) requires dedication and work. No, I haven't done a hair transplant. Supplamation and diet has to be personalized from possible trigger foods and deficiencies

Take finasteride. Because once you bald you'll also looks hair at your crown. If you only get a hair transplant you'll in only certain areas, you'll still have thinning in the other areas eventually. Finasteride is better in the long term. You either keep your current hair with it or grow it back and maintain at the same time. Results are different from everyone. If you can, do both(finasteride and hair transplant) and you'll have a lot of hair to last you for a very long time.

@@danieldaniel7718 so the data on finasteride improvement is that in the 1st year 18% of patients had a noticeable improvement of hair count and quality. In the 2nd year 36% of patients taking finasteride as a monotherapy had noticeable improvement of hair count and quality. The thing I want to stress with you is patience because if you take your finasteride in the long term you can respond very well. Another thing I wish to mention is the shedding phase. You have taken finasteride for 8 months... the drug finasteride causes shedding within the first 3 to 6 months. If most of your hair sheds on the 6th month you take Finasteride then it takes 3 months for the new hairs to enter the anagen phase an grow new hairs. Another point is this. You have been using minoxidil and microneedling for only 2 months. This also causes shedding within the first 3 months of use, but the mechanism of action is different from finasteride. Minoxidil and microneedling are stimulators that thicken up damaged miniaturized hairs. In doing so it sheds away the miniaturized hairs and new hairs push the old ones out with thicker healthier hairs. The old hairs that were shed from minoxidil and microneedling will also take another 3 months before they enter anagen phase and start growing. My advice for you is to not take experimental stuff and just stick with finasterid 1mg, minoxidil, and microneedling (1.0mm to 1.5mm once a week) for another complete year and you should see very significant improvement. And if you are taking topical minoxidil you might want to switch to oral minoxidil 1mg to 2.5mg once per day. This is a far more potent stimulation therapy than topical minoxidil. I hope this helped you out.
