    Going All In This Time. Oral finasteride, dutasteride, Min, Dermapen

    You tried using it on wet hair? I think it helps with the pulling. Except for that, I use the newest A8? dermapen, which I think helps with tearing and sh*t like that.

    Going All In This Time. Oral finasteride, dutasteride, Min, Dermapen

    Everyone is different. Some people are saying they have experienced dramatic hair loss (after trauma caused by dermapen/dermaroller). Some are even saying some of the hair didn't grow back. In my personal experience, if you're this unlucky, you might as well find out now. For me, dermapen is...

    Going All In This Time. Oral finasteride, dutasteride, Min, Dermapen

    I think if anything's going to help you, it's gonna be that 1.5mm dermapen, as 1.5mm is the length used when aiming at regrowth... To be honest, if you lost the hair long time ago, then it will be very hard or impossible to regrow right now. I'd consider transplant (and I will do transplant on...

    What Do You Guys Think? Here Are Some Pics. Is It Over?

    Finasteride may make you shed, but only in the beginning... later on it grows back stronger than ever... If you don't jump on finasteride it will only get worse.

    Rate My Norwood - And Help Me Decide What To Do.

    Yep , that's the thing, I don't feel like I have lost that many hairs, but I do feel like they're all so thin that my scalp has become easily visible through the hair... PS. I did lose most of my hair already, it's obvious, but I know a guy with similar hair density whose scalp you can barely...

    Rate My Norwood - And Help Me Decide What To Do.

    I might try some of those concealers, although I'm worried they might negatively impact hair growth. I did shed at the beginning for about a month I'd say... After that, very minor or no shedding has occured. I am trying to hang in there, but it's quite hard considering I can see obvious signs...

    That's what I thought :/ Thanks anyway. I'll try to get dutasteride, but I don't think it's gonna be easy to get in my country... it's not commonly prescribed. What other methods do you have in mind? If you mean estrogen theraphy, then that's out of the question. Anything other that I might...

    Yeah well, I don't expect results, I just expect someone to tell me if there's any signs that this routine is helping me. Perhaps someone more knowledgable than me knows what are signs of head reacting positively to treatment.

    From finasteride: Perhaps minimally lowered libido, although I had it very high, so I'm not complaining wanting to masturbate less XD. I'm taking "Finaster" which is 5mg finasteride. I divide it by 4, which is roughly 1.25mg per portion. Taking one portion a day. "Finaster" is supposed to be the...

    Finasteride Making Me Lose More Hair

    Start using nizoral shampoo, as noted here: https://www.gourmetstylewellness.com/treatments/propecia/ Every 2 days would be my guess... Do not quit finasteride just yet.

    I am - does that mean it's impossible to say anything at this point? I feel bad, look bad, and my self-esteem has taken a big hit because of this. I need results.

    Any Tips On What To Add To My Regimen?

    Hmm, I might give it a try, if I can get it from my dermatologist. Is it expensive? I live in a country in which the costs do matter a lot. (prices of medicine are often higher than in USA, while we earn 5x less). Also, is it possible to order it without prescription, if even possible?
