Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm seeing different answers to this when I looked it up. I've read that leving gel, cream ect in for too long can block the hair follicles and I've also read that there's no proof this can cause hair loss. The thing is I've got long curly hair and if...

Apart from the finasteride and the dermapen I use a keto shampoo and take some vitamin tablets for hair. My health is generally good. I had a full health mot at the doctors recently (blood pressure, weight, blood tests ect) and everything came back normal. I run once or twice a week, I try to eat...

There was a guy called FredtheBelgian who used to dominate these boards years ago (as I'm sure a lot of you remember). This Betaboy guy reminds me a bit of him, except Fred at least (occasionally) had some informed opinions. This Betaboy however is talking out his *** despite the know it all...

So, is it worth carrying on at this stage? I've read I really should see at least some improvement by now however if anything my hair looks worse then when I started! I have been taking finasteride for a few years which worked but the bloody dermapen has set me backwards! FYI, I'm using a 12 pin. I...

Cool, I didn't know you could get results that quickly. Sounds promising!

So I've got my dermapen but I'm still a bit unsure what I'm doing and some of the info I've read online is confusing. There's plenty of youtube videos telling how to use a derma roller but hardly any about the dermapen. I understand it's a slightly different technique with the pen but do I just...

Update - so I've ordered the Dr Pen a6 off Amazon. I just hope it's genuine.

What about finasteride alone with a roller or do you need to use a topical?

Thanks for the replies. Several comments here seem to recommend the dr pen so I looked it up on Amazon. It wasn't what I expected tbh. I thought it would be an actual roller but it is literally a pen shaped instrument! Still it's readily available and gets mostly good reviews so I'll give it a...

I'm interested in adding Dermarolling to my finasteride and nizoral regime and have done some research but this has only raised more questions for me. 1) Can anyone recommend a good dermaroller for hair (regrowth) or are they all similar? I've seen that ther's quite a few available on Amazon but I've no...

I think this is different to the prostate cancer scares because ther's actually been some clinical trials that reported some cases of male breast cancer (hence the reason they had to reference it in the patient leaflet). As far as I know there has been no proof or instances of men getting...

Ther's been some new information in Finasteride patient leaflet that got me a bit worried - "You should promptly report to your doctor any changes in the breast tissue such as lumps, pain, enlargement of the breast tissue or nipple discharge as these may be signs of a serious condition, such as...

I'm not a fan of Nizoral because of the harsh ingredients. I liked Regenpure Dr because it's free of parabens, sulphates ect while still having the benefits of the keto. Unfortunately I have to order it of the internet where I am and the price seems to have skyrocketed in recent times. It's...

Finasteride is the most important of the "big 3". Keto shampoo (nizoral) and Minoxidil (regaine) can help regrowth but finasteride is the only treatment that blocks the root cause of male pattern baldness. So basically Nizoral and/or Regaine on their own can have short term results but only finasteride will...

This (combined with the cheap price) is exactly why I'm sceptical. If they are using "a top clinic" as they say what's the problem with telling people who they are? Hair transplant clinics aren't regulated and if they go wrong you're screwed. Anyone with sense would do proper research before...
