Does Progress Continue After One Year?

[Ummwhat]

So I have been on finasteride and minoxidil for a little over a year. In that time I've had significant improvements. I'm incredibly happy with my results.

Having said that I'm curious if the progress will continue. My hair is a lot thicker than it was and even other ppl have noticed and told me. I just got a new dermatologist and I had to show my before pictures to prove to her I even needed finasteride in the first place. But there is still room for Improvement and some spots are still a bit thinner than I'd like them to be.

Am I capped out on progress since it's been over on year? Or do some ppl have continued progress beyond that?

Progress can still go on. Even after 2 years.

Been reading that result peak at 2 years. Care to share some progress photos?
Any sides during this time? Even minor?

No real side effects. I did go through multiple shedding phases but I thinks that's all part of the process.

The first 2 photos are from the month I started.

The last 3 photos are at one year.

Congrats on the progress. Solid gains.

Did your experience a heavy shed?

are you asian by chance?

Did your experience a heavy shed?

Yes! a few times. Once when I first start, again 4 months later, and again 5 months after that. Each time I thought I was losing all my hair. I would shake my hands though my hair and hundreds of hairs would fall out (I did this once over my desk and counted them). Also I thought my hair looked a noticeably thinner each time (could of been psychological though). All of my sheds lasted roughly 6 to 8 weeks and then out of nowhere would just stopped.

Maybe 8 months in. I took pictures every month. You need to take photos to notice results.

A bit hard to tell the exact difference due to difference in hair length but overall look really good. When u say no real sides what does that mean? Is there any alight side u notice now?

Well maybe for a while my semen was watery... And my scalp itched from time to time but not anymore. Thats about it. I have had no other issue. So Before I started taking Finasteride I couldn't really grow my hair too long because it grew all un even especially on top. And as you can see in the photos a very notice able thin spot was always visible. That spot is seems to be very filled in. I would like to buzz my head again and get a more comparable photo.

Nice. You definitely seem to be on the right path. Especially if you didn't run into erection, libido or morning wood issues
