U
My hair is getting worse ever since I lowered avodart from 1 mg daily to 0.5 mg daily. Maybe it is because the DIY solution is working and I have a shedding from higher dosage? Maybe because the solution is not working and I lowered avodart? I dont know but my hair is indeed slowly getting worse. I will have the blood test on may 30. Expect the results by June 6
U just need needling once a week with 1ml min a day.

too lazy to do that. I only like to swallow pills and inject once a week x). My biggest effort is to use minoxidil on the hairline daily with tretinoin.

Dude, look in the mirror. It's hard to understand your feelings of superiority.

I was on here. You did the exact same thing. At least I coped for 30 years as a man. You never were a man and never will be one. I have several beautiful and brilliant children, and I move fine in women's spaces. I don't isolate myself in LGBT spaces or nonsense. The feminists never had any issues with transsexuals. Their issues, and I agree with them on this, had to do with XY's throwing on a dress, if that, and then invading women's spaces and making them feel uncomfortable and yes, it's creepy but don't unload you toxicity on me.
I can't take you seriously after you threw your disgusting nudes with a lollipop in your mouth here. Oldfags remember.
"You're not a man" - is that all you can tell me?
Maybe I'm too biased towards you, but you've ruined my opinion of myself too much. I see you as a crazy pervert autogynephile. And all your photos are creepy, with the uncanny valley effect, you give off a crazy vibe.

I agree. But once a week derma stamping fast wont hurt. I may do it. And apply 1ml fast on head. But I still use 1mg finasteride oral eod and oral min 4mg daily.

But tbh idk how much benefit would I get considering im taking a nuclear regimen. I understand it can work for ppl with a normal regimen, but if it will give me only few hairs I wont bother.

Ye. But read recently of ppl on reddit that never responded to topical min for months and years only when they added needling just once a week did they see results. Pretty interesting nevertheless.

Yeah, in my case I do respond to topical minoxidil thanks to tretinoin.

Read that needling could maybe increase sulfotransferase which will make min more effective. Some studies suggest that microneedling may lead to an increased activity of sulfotransferase enzymes in hair follicles, potentially boosting the effectiveness of minoxidil in stimulating hair growth. If this is true then if u ONLY used oral min and needling it could make oral min more effective. But I will use both oral and topical. I do hate topicals but slapping on 1-2ml before bed time once a day is easy. Brushing our teeth takes wayy longer.

Oral minoxidil already uses liver to convert into minoxidil sulfate, wont make a diff if you needle it or not. It is only effective for topical. Tretinoin also upregulates sulfotransferase that is why non responder respond when using minoxidil with tret

Lol tried that for 2 years, ages 17-18 and didn’t do jack sh*t. I tried everything. I must be on strong AAs + derma needles to regrow hair
I was being sarcastic ofc. But I will give it a try. Needling once a week is easy and takes less than 10 min. I did my first needling just now.

I know about the liver but if needling produces it in the scalp then u get an extra boost?

Daily topical minoxidil+tret way better than just needle once a week imho.

Why would you ever needle with so much hair? @losingbattle88. What a waste of time. If oral minoxidil is not working good for you, then change to topical. There are many stories on Reddit that others have responded to topical better than oral, myself included. I didn’t drop topical, but I added 5mg daily for whole 6-7 months and it didn’t give me anything. Not even a bit of thickness.
