I am using minoxidil since 2 months and 17 days and finasteride since 1 month and 17 days and my results are incredible.I started regrowing temple hair aswell.
REGIMEN: minoxidil 2x daily
Finasteride 1 mg daily
dermaroller every second day
Used ketoconazole shampoo for a month but then stopped.
Every day Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo
Every day Biotin
First 3 pictures before and then other 2 are how my hair looks now.

Looks good. I think there IS something to caffeine topically. It seems to work in an independent manner to what Finasteride and Minoxidil does so is worth using in my opinion.

Nice results. A few questions:

1. What Biotin brand you use and what is the dosage?

2. Are you applying Minoxidil only on temples?

3. Any sides so far?

I’m confident you’re a good responder to minoxidil/finasteride
Congrats for you results
I’ve been using Alpecin shampoo and leave on topical for a very long period in the past, but it dis nothing. Maybe the caffeine concentration isn’t high enough, and also the study was made by alpecin so...

Not sure if alpecin helped.I noticed that my hair got really thick when using minoxidil but only with minoxidil i had no temple regrowth.After i started finasteride i started regrowing my temples.

I am not a believer in Alpecin per say but there are more than just one caffeine study showing it's benefits on hair. It is definitely not 100% proven nor had the clinical significance that Finasteride and Minoxidil have had though.

I must say i am baffled by you (not in a negative way). I remember it as like some months ago just that you started your first thread, a classic denial phase thread. And now you have taken this struggle so seriously in such a short space of time haha.

I was never in denial I was opened to my hair loss being male pattern baldness and not being male pattern baldness. I still do not know if I have male pattern baldness as my hair all came back. But I figured with my family history it is not worth philosophising.

Caffeine might work, but certainly not as a shampoo left on for 5 minutes. You need MAJOR androgen changes to get any results. male pattern baldness always has much higher doses than acne for any treatment.

But based on those pics, there is no way in hell it isnt male pattern baldness imo.
