Almost 10 Years On Finasteride And Dutasteride

[DefyingHairloss]

Hello!

I thought I'd give an update to all you balding in your 20s, worried sick about being a bald. I'm 34 and have been on finasteride/Dutas since age 24.

My hairline began to recede on one side initially and luckily I caught it and educated myself at the perfect time.

I first found out about male pattern baldness due to having a keen interest in fitness which leas me go reading articles on anabolic steroids, which mentioned male pattern baldness as a side effect.

Both sides of the family have significant hairloss.

I'll try and find some before pictures but my hair I've probably lost about the tip of your thumb worth of hair on both sides of my hairline since beginning treatment.

I've used inhousepharmcy the majority of the time.

Treatment: 1mg per day of finasteride for around 5 years and then moved to 0.5mg per day dutasteride. I use Nizoral every other day.

I'm looking to have my temples filled but I'm very happy with the amount I've maintained!

Here are my pictures from today with my head soaked:

Yeah you caught that just in time. I wish i would've started a lot sooner. I thought id be on with shaving it all off, i wasn't. Now I'm praying i can get a lot back where the hair, and maybe transplant a lower hairline later if i can't deal with the elevated hairline.

Looks great though. Any sides on dutasteride?

No symptoms at all

I've bought avodart over the counter abroad in pharmacies so the product is legit!

Here's a few pictures after when I dry it:

So in relation to your eyes and facial shape, how high is your hairline, can't tell in the pics of course. Would you say it looks like a typical matured hairline? I think i caught mine maybe 1/8 inch too high. Sometimes it looks ok, Sometimes a bit high, depending on the angle and reflective surface I'm looking into.

Only the corners have receded. I've always had quite a high hairline but it still looks as it did when younger when my hair is down.

 

[OldnBald]

Yeah does fine with your face. Looks great man.

Here's mine so far, just getting started. In these pics the hairline looks ok at these angles. Getting good results so far. https://www.gourmetstylewellness.com/intera...-result-ill-be-updating-as-i-go-along.126657/

Cheers dude. Looking good man, stick to it, it definitely works. I was very lucky I researched it early. I never noticed any recession until I read about male pattern baldness then checked my hairline. Then looked at my family. Never even knew it was a thing!

I'll press through that later

I knew, from an early age, I just didn't bother with it. But yeah nobody would know you lost virtually any hair.

I delayed it for 2 years but was constantly worrying. Constant pictures worrying about the weather etc. The Norwood 0 have bypassed me now from back then.
I'm gonna have a look into a minor touch up or see what the specialists say

What were you looking to get done? Hairline lowering at the temples?

If I get my current hairline filled in by finasteride n min, I'm going to sit on it for a bit, and if I can't get used to it, get an 1/8 inch hairline lowering. We'll see.

Hey bro,
Is your hair from your current age the same as when you started treatment?
Was your hair when soaked at the beginning of the treatment the same as your current age?

And did you still shed?

Why did you switch from finasteride to dutasteride ?
