Can minoxidil save Finasteride grown hair?

[too bald too furious]

I know its not possible the other way around but lets say I use Finasteride for 5 years and then dump it off and switch to minoxidil with or without spironolactone. Will that save the Finasteride maintained or regrown hair?

How about other options like Revivogen and Proxiphen?

Everyone will tell you no.

I don't know why, it makes sense to me, but that is the way the gods intended it.

yeah but gourmetstylewellness.com maintained his hair after quitting Finasteride using spironolactone + Revivogen. :roll:

No.

Soon after your stop using finasteride the attack on your follicles from dihyrotetosterone, that you have been keeping at bay with finasteride, will continue with nothing to counter it.

Minoxidil simply extends the growth (anagen) phase of the hair growth cycle and has no know effect on DHT levels in the follicle.

It makes perfect sense.

that is because these products, like finasteride, inhibit DHT, minoxidil does not inhibit DHT.

Well, tynan. That's plain wrong. Finasteride inihibits 5 alpha reductase II.

tynan?

my apologies, to be accurate finasteride inhibits the production of DHT.

Wait! -- When did gourmetstylewellness.com quit Finasteride?? And WHY?? I need to know! He was always my Finasteride HERO! He's why I got ON it, for god's sake! aranoid:

And where did gourmetstylewellness.com's old nifty intro to the site go? The one where he talked about first noticing he was losing his hair while looking into the rearview mirror of his car or something? (Or is my memory playing tricks on me?)

i think it was Dr. lee, who said that propecia doesn't stops the follicle from being harm.[/quote]

well, I still do not get it. I mean if i quit after 5 years and then start Minoxidil, sudden build up of DHT will not change the hair phase from anagen to telogen.

Infact the DHT will start attacking the follicles but minoxidil will keep the hair in anagen phase much longer.

I do not think the quit finasteride shed will be as terrible as the quit minoxidil shed. :roll:

Not right away, anyway...

For a while, anyway...

Agreed.
