Find my post at the top. It’s a phenomenal product in my opinion works hands-down better than orals if you can deal with the mess day in and day out your after year. I did it for two years that product the stronger one combination. Read my post above. Hopefully it helps. Good luck to you.
Finasteride side effects are blown way out of proportion because a few people have erectile dysfunction. I've been on trt and 5mg finasteride for 14 years and started them on the same day. If I've had a side effect I don't know about it... Other than a complete head of hair at age 62. Also maintaining a high DHT level is not a good thing for your prostate which is a positive side effect of oral finasteride! Utilizing your primary care physician for actual prescription medications with a long proven track record is 100% recommended over internet pop-ups looking to cash in.
I don't know wtf happened to me but... at 20 I was losing my hair and I got on propecia when it was newish (this is 90s).. My hair was steady but the sexual side effects were bad. At 34 I stopped taking it and I had 2 years where my hair grew crazy thick. It was the most thick as any point in my life. Then at like 36 I started to lose it again and finally at 40 I decided to try the topical solution. If they could some how capture wtf happened to me at 34 the hair industry would be changed forever.
@@manivang9792it made my hair thicker on the crown and my center front hair grew back. However, my split sides have not grown back. It definitely stopped it from receding at the moment. I was close to looking like George Constanza from Seinfeld if I didn't treat it.
@@vonvon1991 thats nice but you need finasterid and minoxidil to gegrow your hair. I coudnt be happier with the results. Its important to know that it takes a few month until the regrowth kicks in!
Hims I am using it but after dry my hair looks like gel applied hair . Hair is not flexible. Is that the way it will be? I am scared due to stiffness it should not break while I comb after few hours
It's definitely not Hims or Keeps. You are better off asking your doctor to prescribe finasteride pills and topical minoxidil and hope your insurance covers it. If you are going to go with Keeps or Hims, choose Keeps. Keeps is more cost effective than Hims.
@@antoneckhart4010 you cant "transgender yourself" unless you want to be transgender. the side effects linked to fin are due to a hormonal imbalance, yes, but if you're working with your doctor (which you should be when taking oral fin anyways) they should be checking your levels. dont spread ignorant misinformation, freak.
Important Question ⁉ Do those topical Finasteride products have Titanium Dioxide (E171) in them? Because that ingredient is widely used and unfortunately it is highly cancerogenic and stays in human body. Hair is important, but cancer is a bigger problem. Both Propecia and Proscar have titanium dioxide (E 171) in them unfortunately. I'm just trying to find a finasteride that doesn't have Titanium Dioxide (E171) in it. Thanks
I take Dutasteride tablets for over 3 years (stronger version of finasteride). And it helped me so much. Side effects were only first month after that i had no side effects at all….
if you have thinning hair, check to see if you have mercury fillings. the metal dark ones... if you do take those fillings out!!! those mercury fillings cause hair thinning
Great video!! I'm about to start my hair regrowth journey and intend on using the Finasteride and Minoxidil topical combo. Would you recommend anything on top of this ie the supplements in your bio? Also, could you add The Ordinary Serum into your topical routine?
Thanks for sharing this information. Viewers who are users of finasteride of any kind or dutasteride should not donate blood. If a blood recipient is pregnant with a male fetus, it risks birth defects. There is a deferral period of one to three months for finasteride and dutasteride, respectively. I switched to oral and topical monoxidil so I can continue blood donations.
Just bought minoxidil 5% for a treatment of 6 months. It says on the label that it can only help "the vertex" region meaning on top being the head. I wasnt aware of that but will use it everywhere anyway. Thank you for talking so much about this subject, too many males are losing their hair because of DHT
I know it says that, but it helps whatever hair it is put on no matter where it is on the body. You can put it on your beard, and your beard will eventually start growing longer. That is what some people do for growing out their beard. They say only on the vertex because that is the area of the head they tested minoxidil on in trials. Hope this helps. I also want to add that while minoxidil will help with hair growth, it doesn't solve the root cause of hair loss in male pattern baldness--DHT. Minoxidil doesn't really block DHT. Something like finasteride does that. You will eventually start losing hair if you have male pattern baldness and are only on minoxidil. I hope this helps.
What are the chances of experiencing loss of libido with topical finasteride? Are they saying it doesn't happen with the topical solution because it doesn't go directly in the bloodstream like the oral use?
Topical Finasteride caused me permanent damage to the genital tissue. Don't even think about trying it. Hims is a devil company with no remorse for their victims.
So if I stop using Keeps Finasteride .25% Minoxidil 5% gel, any gains made will be lost if I stop using it? It’s like using Rogaine? Expensive and stopping treatment will result in the loss of hair gained from using it… right?
All I wonna know is if I start this can I stop if I wanted to ? In the sense that if I stop I’m assuming it will eventually go back to how my hair was but will it make my hair loss worse?
From what I’ve read you do have to continue using hims to keep your hair. Once you stop your hair will fall off and thin in the same way it was before you started using hims. I read in some places that it might make hair fall off quicker after you stop using it but idk. Overall I’d prefer to just not use it and hoping what I have is just a widows peak lol.
Don't just use products. Use micro needles or derma stamps. Those will give you permanent benefits. Oh and you don't need finasteride, if you have male pattern baldness, you will go right back to balding after you stop it, and I don't think you want to mess with your hormones long term.
I've recently come off of oral finasteride & been taking topical for the past few weeks & have niticed increased hair shedding. Is that normal & how long will this last?
Fact that your shedding is a good thing. It means it’s working well for you. My personal experience starting with the topical described in this video was it worked better more hair thicker less loss…… but it was a pain. Oily hair scalp all the time just messy and laborious. I Use oral exclusively, both, I’m not thrilled about it, but it’s easy to take a pill and the deal with that every day. That’s just the truth to hair transplants four years on medication’s. My advice is if you can avoid the orals it’s a healthier choice to go with the topical combos in this video. No question about it. It worked, and I think it works better. Just messy pia…
Which concentration of finasteride in spray form is best? I suspect the higher concentration but if the results are comparable I’ll opt for the minimum effective dose so as to mitigate against side effects Also, I’m microneedling. I’m told microneedling, finasteride, and minoxidil are great as they they compound or stack the benefits in your favor. What are your thoughts on micro needling? Can I microneedle on the same days I use the spray or should I wait 24 hours to microneedle then wait another 24 hours to resume spraying ? I’m using a depth of 0.5mm to 0.75mm so as not to hit that bulb or bulge (I forget the term)
I'd urge you all to be careful. Tried MIN Foam 5% on its own for about 2 months last year. Got chest pains and depression. It's supposed to flush out of the system about 4 days from stopping. Yet it took a good 3 weeks to get back to normal. Saw some aging effects too. Be careful guys...
I'm using a topical solution containing 0.1% minoxidil and 0.1% finesteride, you think it'll be effective in promoting beard growth? I do have a little hair and somewhat dense french-cut like beard, but I'm using this solution (Densita MF) to aid in beard growth, you think this combination of this 0.1% concentration is going to be effective? I'm not using it to treat baldness, I'm not going bald yet
You may also want to look up SYLFIRM microneedling (only 1.5 “ deep) used with topical Exosomes. It did wonders for my sister and my friend and they had a lot of hair loss on the top of their head, especially in that center cap area. However, I tried it for the front of my hairline where I was getting a receding hairline (I’m female) and it did not work very well. Apparently, with the Exosomes you have to have hair follicles near by, like at the top of your head , for it to take affect…..and not that much in the front where there is no hair on a receding hairline. So don’t wait if you’re receding because it’s more difficult to treat. I only offer this info because I know how devastating it is for some people to lose their hair and this really does work for some people. But obviously do your due diligence! I’ve also heard that just plain micro needling with a stamp can also be effective because it brings oxygen and blood supply to the scalp. My sister also used the iRESTORE hair cap and although it did not give her a tremendous amount of hair , she was very happy with the results. It is very expensive and it does require 30 minutes several times a week I think… but she thought it was worth it and she found wearing the cap very relaxing. There is also a smaller laser cap that goes over the receding hairline area for three minutes and you just keep moving it back until you cover the area you need. I do not remember the name of this one, but the RUclipsr “ Hot and Flashy” uses it and she loves it. SO THANK YOU DR. ASPIRES! For all your enlightening videos, and in the smooth way that you present the knowledge so that we can understand it in layman‘s term.! And for providing wonderful comment sections for us to learn. You’re an excellent doctor and an excellent teacher!!! 👍👍👍 Btw- Do you have any information on the safety and efficacy of microneedling(stamp) the finasteride & minoxidil into the scalp? 🤔
I just received the HIMS topical spray today. I still have a full head of hair, and haven’t noticed any shedding. But when my hair is wet, it looks like i can see more scalp than i used to. So we’ll see. Does anyone have experience with the warning that the new hair may grow in differently than your existing hair? What does this mean? 😳🤨
@@keanandarnell8709 lol. I get that. I’ve seen my own self with wet hair everyday for my whole life. I only started seeing more scalp in the last few years when my hair is the same degree of wet. 🤣
Any gains you make with minoxidil or finasteride will be lost if you stop taking them. You will gradually be sent back to where you started before you took it. However, if you resolved the issue of the hair loss due to unhealthy eating or COVID while you were taking minoxidil and/or finasteride, your hair will probably be a bit better than before you started taking them. I hope this makes sense and helped you out.
Hey! Hoping you'll reply. I have previously taken finasteride 1mg daily when I was around 18, 19 years old (of course, prescribed). I had good results for sure, my hair loss reduced and new hair although very less in number, came in. But I faced some side effects like gynaecomastia (very less but it was there and still hasn't completely gone away) and decreased libido for sure. I told the doctor and he asked me to stop it immediately. Should I now opt for tropical finasteride or just stay away from finasteride and continue minoxidil? Thank you.
Fact if your shedding After switching from orals to the topicals in this video in my experience is a good thing. It means it’s working well for you. My personal experience starting with the topical combo described in this video was it worked better without question, more hair thicker hair less loss…… but it was a pain. Oily hair scalp all the time just messy and laborious. Especially if you have a large area that you need to treat which I did, and a lot of people do. And without question less side effects. Oral minoxidil even now causes me once in a while irregular heartbeat. It doesn’t last long but it’s real and it sucks and I work out every day. It’s not something that’s ever happened. It’s definitely because of oral minoxidil which I take 1.25 mg which is half of the normal pill of 2.5. I find if you could limit or eliminate caffeine. That problem goes away. But I like my coffee so all tough choices. I Use oral exclusively now, I’m not thrilled about it, but it’s easy to take 2 pills then deal with that every day. That’s just the truth Of the pros and cons of oral or topical. Two hair transplants four years on medication’s. My advice is if you can avoid the orals it’s a healthier choice to go with the topical combos in this video. No question about it. It worked better no question . I simply switch to the convenient route. I don’t like any of it, but that’s the choice I’ve made for the last 18 months. To me at all sucks but what are you gonna do. Especially if you’ve gone as far as to have surgery, like me, and others, spent the money gotta do what you Gotta do. Good luck!
I have thinning all around too and I’m afraid that a topical solution would make my hair look greasy and thinner since it would make them clump together. I in fact wash my hair everyday just to prevent oily hair making my hair look thinner. Do you apply the solution at night only and wash it off in the morning?
@@jojomp_459 would the hair go back to looking dry with no clumping if I just use a comb gently after 30mins? Also, do you apply on a dry scalp or is it alright to apply after a shower?
Well, sadly not exactly what I was trying to find out. I am getting a new shipment and was looking to see if topical finasteride is still safe if taking the pill form or if I should even do that vs justa minoxodil only formula for the topical treatment.
I have a happy head Fin. 0.3%, Min. 8% (Happy Head Finasteride Liposomal) perscription does anyone know what that equates to if i were to take an oral fin equivalent?
How early before potential pregnancy should you keep Topical Fin away from a female partner? Like they should never get near it as it does perm harm to child bearing functions/future offspring? or just can't come in contact just before or during pregnancy?
First u have to understand that finasteride is a 5 Alpha reductase blocker so inhibiting the formation of DHT.If your baby boy is going to be a male and the women is exposed to finasteride then it might inhibit the descent of the testes into the scrotum bag and also cause fluctuations in the hormones of the baby 5:24 5:24
I’ve been taking 1mg finasteride Oral Medication since last April I’ve noticed improvements in hair coverage and reduction in hair loss. Im tempted to try topical to see if I notice any difference in my mood etc do you think it’s worth it
Side effects may be irreversible and include persistent erectile dysfunction, depression, suicidal tendencies, loss of libido, anxiety, and otheradministration of finasteride decreases social interaction and results in cognitive deficits, potentially through a cholinergic mechanism. Further studies are required to understand the exact link between the cognitive effects and the cholinergic system. neurological issues (ie. memory loss, altered mental status
Mans said "Topical fin / min spray is gaining popularity in post menopausal women...but you'll need to speak to a doctor because it's not to be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding." I swear you can't make stuff like this up.
So im thinking about using minoxidil but my hair loss is weird, im loosing hair all over my head from the back to the sides and on top but my hairline isn't receding so i dont know if im experiencing male pattern bladness. So im quite unsure if one i stop using minoxidil, then the hair grown will fall off
The authors of this study, noted that “Although there is decreased absorption of topical FNS compared to oral, a decrease in plasma DHT levels after one week of treatment with either topical or oral formulations. “ ➡️ www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6609098/
I don't know about finasteride, but I've used minoxidil 5% for the beard, everyday for 3 months, and seen very good results. It's still not completely full but if I trim it right, it gives the impression of a fuller beard. You can expect some shedding when you stop applying minox, but when the air has become black, it won't fall off. It's only the hairs that grew but aren't black yet that will fall off if stop applying minox. You should go for it!
I’m 25 and I just got diagnosed with alopecia areata what is the best option for me if anyone can help lmk I have lost a small circle patch in the worst spot possible on my hairline In the front. Also with having alopecia is it bad to wear my hair back?
I think Finasteride is the best option as it'll stop new forms of patches in the future and minoxidil can help fill it in by your hairline but wearing your hair back tightly can cause tension hairloss
I take a pill finasteride and in my opinion i dont see or feel any side effects whatsoever. My sexual drive remains the same and I feel same levels of energy at gym and everywhere else.
@clma3780 thank you, I have full hair on my head. But i noticed some hairloss when I showered as well as beginning of some hairloss in the corners of my hairline. So i decided to start on minoxidil and finasteride as preventive measure. So far it has worked and my hair feels stronger and doesn't fall off as easy.
Anyone not using finasteride and minoxidil weather you decided using topical or oral is the only ture tried and decades tested .you'll be losing ground if you use anything else ,but hey you'll find out the hard way making up lost ground is very hard and next to impossible if you buy into quackery .i stil try adding some of these new gimmicks to my stack just to see if i get another added boost and no nothing new takes off .they use to say copper peptides made your hair grow .well i would have looked like a werewolf by now .i injected it directly into my scalp with an insulin needle and nothing new grew .its funny how guys that don't have androgenic alopecia have the answers to hair growth when they never have it for themselves .it's either you have it or you been gifted with good generics .in this you tubers instance he could just put moose in his hair and it will make his hair look good
My honest hair growth journey: prioritize sleep, maintain scalp cleanliness, shampoo less and hydrate more, get frequent trims, comb hair daily, and apply liitlllextrra Reactivate hair serum daily. It includes rosemary and other helpful ingredients that regularly promote the growth of new baby hairs.
True but that’s def not a cure all… works in the movies it in real life it’s a fact like heredity and stress etc etc .. 99% probably stress and heredity etc
I was on 1.25 mg of finasteride pills for 3 months back in 2018,awesome results but after 2 and half months i started with anxiety ed and depression state.Should i consider the topical?
2 questions: How was i able to order from Amazon without sending any pics? Also, can i use to prevent balding. I don't think I'm balding but i see hair receding...only 31
You have to use it for at least 6 months to see actual progress. It’s a good chance that op didn’t actually put more time into the product before giving up.

I'd urge you all to be careful.
Tried MIN Foam 5% on its own for about 2 months last year.
Got chest pains and depression.
It's supposed to flush out of the system about 4 days from stopping.
Yet it took a good 3 weeks to get back to normal.
Saw some aging effects too.
Be careful guys...
what was your dosing schedule? did you put it anywhere else besides your head?
@@3ndoku5h Only my head and only applied once a day
I'm using a topical solution containing 0.1% minoxidil and 0.1% finesteride, you think it'll be effective in promoting beard growth? I do have a little hair and somewhat dense french-cut like beard, but I'm using this solution (Densita MF) to aid in beard growth, you think this combination of this 0.1% concentration is going to be effective?
I'm not using it to treat baldness, I'm not going bald yet
You may also want to look up SYLFIRM microneedling (only 1.5 “ deep) used with topical Exosomes.
It did wonders for my sister and my friend and they had a lot of hair loss on the top of their head, especially in that center cap area.
However, I tried it for the front of my hairline where I was getting a receding hairline (I’m female) and it did not work very well.
Apparently, with the Exosomes you have to have hair follicles near by, like at the top of your head , for it to take affect…..and not that much in the front where there is no hair on a receding hairline.
So don’t wait if you’re receding because it’s more difficult to treat.
I only offer this info because I know how devastating it is for some people to lose their hair and this really does work for some people. But obviously do your due diligence!
I’ve also heard that just plain micro needling with a stamp can also be effective because it brings oxygen and blood supply to the scalp.
My sister also used the iRESTORE hair cap and although it did not give her a tremendous amount of hair , she was very happy with the results.
It is very expensive and it does require 30 minutes several times a week I think… but she thought it was worth it and she found wearing the cap very relaxing.
There is also a smaller laser cap that goes over the receding hairline area for three minutes and you just keep moving it back until you cover the area you need. I do not remember the name of this one, but the RUclipsr “ Hot and Flashy” uses it and she loves it.
SO THANK YOU DR. ASPIRES! For all your enlightening videos, and in the smooth way that you present the knowledge so that we can understand it in layman‘s term.! And for providing wonderful comment sections for us to learn.
You’re an excellent doctor and an excellent teacher!!! 👍👍👍
Btw- Do you have any information on the safety and efficacy of microneedling(stamp) the finasteride & minoxidil into the scalp? 🤔

I just received the HIMS topical spray today. I still have a full head of hair, and haven’t noticed any shedding. But when my hair is wet, it looks like i can see more scalp than i used to. So we’ll see. Does anyone have experience with the warning that the new hair may grow in differently than your existing hair? What does this mean? 😳🤨
Your hair is gonna look less dense when it’s wet because it clumps together more so there’s more gaps to your scalp.
@@keanandarnell8709 lol. I get that. I’ve seen my own self with wet hair everyday for my whole life. I only started seeing more scalp in the last few years when my hair is the same degree of wet. 🤣
Hey, have you noticed any noticeable shedding since using? I know its been a week or so since you commented but just curious
@@dgevox6941 Nope.
How long did it take for them to ship it to you after they approved you ? They approved me but they haven’t shipped it yet
If the hair loss due to low calorie eating disorder,covid19,low thyroid will it fall when we stop using it?
Any gains you make with minoxidil or finasteride will be lost if you stop taking them. You will gradually be sent back to where you started before you took it. However, if you resolved the issue of the hair loss due to unhealthy eating or COVID while you were taking minoxidil and/or finasteride, your hair will probably be a bit better than before you started taking them. I hope this makes sense and helped you out.
What about more hair on the body with the pill vs the spray?
Hey!
Hoping you'll reply. I have previously taken finasteride 1mg daily when I was around 18, 19 years old (of course, prescribed). I had good results for sure, my hair loss reduced and new hair although very less in number, came in. But I faced some side effects like gynaecomastia (very less but it was there and still hasn't completely gone away) and decreased libido for sure. I told the doctor and he asked me to stop it immediately.
Should I now opt for tropical finasteride or just stay away from finasteride and continue minoxidil?
Thank you.
Yes you can use with dhea supplement to minimise the side effects and check ur testosterone total and estradiol every 3 month
Fact if your shedding After switching from orals to the topicals in this video in my experience is a good thing. It means it’s working well for you. My personal experience starting with the topical combo described in this video was it worked better without question, more hair thicker hair less loss…… but it was a pain. Oily hair scalp all the time just messy and laborious. Especially if you have a large area that you need to treat which I did, and a lot of people do. And without question less side effects. Oral minoxidil even now causes me once in a while irregular heartbeat. It doesn’t last long but it’s real and it sucks and I work out every day. It’s not something that’s ever happened. It’s definitely because of oral minoxidil which I take 1.25 mg which is half of the normal pill of 2.5. I find if you could limit or eliminate caffeine. That problem goes away. But I like my coffee so all tough choices. I Use oral exclusively now, I’m not thrilled about it, but it’s easy to take 2 pills then deal with that every day. That’s just the truth Of the pros and cons of oral or topical. Two hair transplants four years on medication’s. My advice is if you can avoid the orals it’s a healthier choice to go with the topical combos in this video. No question about it. It worked better no question . I simply switch to the convenient route. I don’t like any of it, but that’s the choice I’ve made for the last 18 months. To me at all sucks but what are you gonna do. Especially if you’ve gone as far as to have surgery, like me, and others, spent the money gotta do what you Gotta do. Good luck!
Was the topical solution messy and difficult because you had long hair?
Great question… no medium kept at 1” on top. It’s just how big an area and how tedious you want to be. Day in day out 365 real pia for me
I have thinning all around too and I’m afraid that a topical solution would make my hair look greasy and thinner since it would make them clump together. I in fact wash my hair everyday just to prevent oily hair making my hair look thinner. Do you apply the solution at night only and wash it off in the morning?
@@nebula1863 I've started topical solution and you're right but it dries out after 30 minutes
@@jojomp_459 would the hair go back to looking dry with no clumping if I just use a comb gently after 30mins? Also, do you apply on a dry scalp or is it alright to apply after a shower?
Well, sadly not exactly what I was trying to find out. I am getting a new shipment and was looking to see if topical finasteride is still safe if taking the pill form or if I should even do that vs justa minoxodil only formula for the topical treatment.
Thanks just started hims
I have a happy head Fin. 0.3%, Min. 8% (Happy Head Finasteride Liposomal) perscription does anyone know what that equates to if i were to take an oral fin equivalent?
How early before potential pregnancy should you keep Topical Fin away from a female partner? Like they should never get near it as it does perm harm to child bearing functions/future offspring? or just can't come in contact just before or during pregnancy?
First u have to understand that finasteride is a 5 Alpha reductase blocker so inhibiting the formation of DHT.If your baby boy is going to be a male and the women is exposed to finasteride then it might inhibit the descent of the testes into the scrotum bag and also cause fluctuations in the hormones of the baby 5:24 5:24
Does min work on the hairline that shredded 2-3 months ago?
is there also a finasteride oil?
I’ve been taking 1mg finasteride Oral Medication since last April I’ve noticed improvements in hair coverage and reduction in hair loss. Im tempted to try topical to see if I notice any difference in my mood etc do you think it’s worth it
is there any bad side effects?
Side effects may be irreversible and include persistent erectile dysfunction, depression, suicidal tendencies, loss of libido, anxiety, and otheradministration of finasteride decreases social interaction and results in cognitive deficits, potentially through a cholinergic mechanism. Further studies are required to understand the exact link between the cognitive effects and the cholinergic system. neurological issues (ie. memory loss, altered mental status
Talking this product what are the side affects ? When it comes to Libido ??????
Im 49 now so according to the advice on the packaging I'm now too old for minoxidil
Is there a Finasteride spray or foam available in the market?
I have the same question . I don't know where to buy it
Yes. Hims foam
Keeps have the foam and gel.
Mans said "Topical fin / min spray is gaining popularity in post menopausal women...but you'll need to speak to a doctor because it's not to be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding."
I swear you can't make stuff like this up.
What’s wrong
@@ahmedabdi1150just think about it. Menopausal women and pregnancy/breastfeeding?
Not all women using topical fin are going through menopause dummy he just meant that it’s popular with women post menopause
"Mans"? Who talks like this?
I want to know what you take to maintain your hair.
Good genetics
Hey brother, does the hims combo spray work for beards too?
Beard hair is not negatively affected by DHT on the contrary it is stimulated by it so I recommend not using any Fin only Mon if needed
@@mv4424 cheers mate 🤝🏼
I have been using the hims spray minoxidil and finastride mix for 3 months and my hairline looks worse 😢
I've heard for some people it could take like 6 months to a year
That means it's working. You are in the shedding phase, where the weak hairs are being replaced with stronger ones.
Called shedding phase .. it’s on its way
This is just a long ad
So im thinking about using minoxidil but my hair loss is weird, im loosing hair all over my head from the back to the sides and on top but my hairline isn't receding so i dont know if im experiencing male pattern bladness. So im quite unsure if one i stop using minoxidil, then the hair grown will fall off
Same my hairline is perfectly intact but the top of my scalp is thinning fast
Very common. Topical and oral are still a remedy. Check to make sure you don't have Jada Pinkett Smith disease first
Diffuse thinning vs. Male patter
any advice for using minox with long hair. I just find minox too greasy. Is there any non greasy minox on the market?
Have you tried the foam versions?
MPMD makes a legit minox that isn't greasy
So is this product worth getting?
yes if you're early in hair-loss. worth testing for 6 months if you have sustainable hairloss but peach fuzz in the balding areas.
Why is 2.5 % of finasteride the most common topical finasteride is that the equivalent to 1mg Oral finasteride or more ?
The authors of this study, noted that “Although there is decreased absorption of topical FNS compared to oral, a decrease in plasma DHT levels after one week of treatment with either topical or oral formulations. “

Can minoxidil 5% & finasteride is grow for beard
I don't know about finasteride, but I've used minoxidil 5% for the beard, everyday for 3 months, and seen very good results. It's still not completely full but if I trim it right, it gives the impression of a fuller beard. You can expect some shedding when you stop applying minox, but when the air has become black, it won't fall off. It's only the hairs that grew but aren't black yet that will fall off if stop applying minox. You should go for it!
Hi doctor
What will happen if we discontinue the use? Will the hair fall starts again?
Unfortunately, yes. Any gains you make with it will start to fall out gradually until you re where you started.

I’m 25 and I just got diagnosed with alopecia areata what is the best option for me if anyone can help lmk I have lost a small circle patch in the worst spot possible on my hairline In the front. Also with having alopecia is it bad to wear my hair back?
I think Finasteride is the best option as it'll stop new forms of patches in the future and minoxidil can help fill it in by your hairline but wearing your hair back tightly can cause tension hairloss
@@jojomp_459this is alopecia areata, its where the IMMUNE system attacks the hairs, not DHT which is androgenic alopecia.
I take a pill finasteride and in my opinion i dont see or feel any side effects whatsoever. My sexual drive remains the same and I feel same levels of energy at gym and everywhere else.
How you doing
@clma3780 no noticeable changes on mood or energy levels. Sexual drive still strong.. been on the pill for 4 months
@@DaBeezKneez ty wish you best results🙏
@clma3780 thank you, I have full hair on my head. But i noticed some hairloss when I showered as well as beginning of some hairloss in the corners of my hairline. So i decided to start on minoxidil and finasteride as preventive measure. So far it has worked and my hair feels stronger and doesn't fall off as easy.
Sir, please make a vedio about minoxidil with tretinoin..❤
There is a channel by the name of Haircare that made a video about tretinoin and minoxidil. It's pretty good if you are interested in checking it out.
Are you even a doctor? Why don't you speak about how it is a hormone and why it is RX?
Anyone not using finasteride and minoxidil weather you decided using topical or oral is the only ture tried and decades tested .you'll be losing ground if you use anything else ,but hey you'll find out the hard way making up lost ground is very hard and next to impossible if you buy into quackery .i stil try adding some of these new gimmicks to my stack just to see if i get another added boost and no nothing new takes off .they use to say copper peptides made your hair grow .well i would have looked like a werewolf by now .i injected it directly into my scalp with an insulin needle and nothing new grew .its funny how guys that don't have androgenic alopecia have the answers to hair growth when they never have it for themselves .it's either you have it or you been gifted with good generics .in this you tubers instance he could just put moose in his hair and it will make his hair look good
If you stop taking finasteride after getting results would your hair just fall off?
Yes
You will melt

im not a doctor but based on information, try reducing dosage first to 0.5mg and see what happens
yep got all the sides from oral fin within 3 weeks. would be interest in sides from topical?
