Some take aways from this video:
- Stabilization of the hair loss process starts immediately after taking the first pill! DHT is reduced in hours.
- 4 to 6 Months. That's the time it takes to see improvement.
- A hair that falls off today doesn't grow for another 3 months
- When a hair undergoes miniaturization over 50% of the hairs thickness, it won't be able to grow back, just to maintain its current growth
- 16% of patients experience significant improvement over 1 yr, but 36% over 2 yrs. Patience is key.
- The main benefit of finasteride is stabilization of male pattern hair loss. Thickening is a bonus.
- There are no real areas of more effectiveness (front, crown...) for finasteride, that's a myth. Hair will get best results in areas where the thinning process is less prominent.
- The two major classes of medical treatment for male pattern baldness are blockers (fin) and stimulators (minoxidil). The key is the blocking (fin).

Thanks so much for the price less information. There are so much BS out there when it comes to hair loss treatment, it's so relieving to have a reliable source of information like you guys. Please keep doing what you're doing, it's helping me and so many other guys out there.
Wow. These videos are more informative than any information I have found on the internet about MPB. You guys are awesome!
Thanks for that!

Yeah, the best I've found so far. Pretty cool. Thanks for helping the greater community. I really hope it helps your practice grow as well. I'm sure it would/does when your prospective patients see these.
you guys are so good - i wonder why i found you randomly just now and NOT when i was searching material for finasteride.
Thank you folks for your content ❤️
This is THEE best video I’ve seen on Finasteride and hair loss
This show is incredibly helpful and needs to be advertised to every single grown man that can be reached.
I have just started finasteride 1mg per day. I feel better because I am taking action to protect my hair, whereas before, I felt helpless. My only regret is that I did not start sooner. I let the bottle of pills sit in the cabinet for months because I was so alarmed at the horror stories on the internet. I am glad I started and am on my first week.
jamest681 how’s it going so far?
Any updates?
He ded?
I am using topical fin 0,5% for 2 months (I know its pretty early to say anything). I see improvments in quality and quantity of my hair on temples. Its visible. But my crown still has no gains. Hope it will come back but I doubt. They said in video that it will work better where is just little thinning xd..obviously its nlt that sensitive to DHT. Btw my hair situation is not bad. Not a single person told me that I am losing hair but xd.
I am using finesteride 0.5g each day and minox 1ml each day on my nw2-nw2.5 hair for a bit over a month now. I know way to early too but it really work wonders. I dont know if it was placebo but 1g finest was too much and i think i lost a bit of my libido. But 0.5 works really great for me. Currently no sideeffects for me on both just a bit of white flakes on my head but i always had them so... my thin hair on the front and on the back of my crown starting to come out. Defenitly a Change. Also before usage i had around 10 to 20 hairs when i go through my hair now i have 2-5.. even with a bit of pulling which is insane... I had shedding in the first 1 to 3 weeks so i buzzed it down because it was that much but now they all seem to come back stronger
This show has been so informative, you guys and MPMD have done so much for us balding guys.
For the algorithm.
@@benpeterson7530 For the algorithm!
I'm 28 and noticed a few weeks ago my hairline at my forehead looked thin. Caught this early and started taking Finasteride. Talked to my Dermatologist and he said realistically you'll restrengthen what currently exists. I'm fortunate that I haven't lost much but the name of the game is that if you want to keep your hair then you need to get in front of the issue as soon as possible. I'm okay with thinner hair and stopping the damage - it was naturally thicker than what I wanted. This is a highly informative show and it tells you a lot about Australian healthcare vs. the US. It's amazing how better outcomes can be achieved when marketing and profits come second to numbers, science, and the patient's well-being
Honest no BS advice, should have started on this when I went on TRT, will see how next year goes, then might get a transplant, if a choice of hair or low T, then easy choice.
Finally a video you can rely on. Just feel the honesty and professionalism, that´s something hard to find on this topic.
thats what happens in the billion dollar industry of hair loss, every snake oil salesman preys upon peoples fears and insecurities to sell some useless bullshit. These two men are the best.
Very informative podcasts. Thanks so much. I wish I lived in Melbourne- I would be at your clinic!!!
Thanks for the video (the hair loss show). Good informations and it really helps a lot of people that are experiencing male pattern baldness. You guys are awesome and continue the good work!!!
Wow, this channel is a BLESSING to people experiencing hair loss!
Don't listen to these people who are clearly paid/get commission from Big Pharma to push Finasteride.
Finasteride has permanent side effects for many people that are irreversible. Their studies don't mean shit because they were mainly funded By Big Pharma and many scientists and regulatory members of FDA were bought off. Their positive results were highly false-positively inflated. Way more people have reported worsening of hairloss and side effects on Finasteride than they advertise.
These people along with many others are clearly bought off and are providing marketing for Finasteride obviously.
Stay away from Finasteride whatever you do !!!!!
@@navalh8679 dont talk shit if you have not used it yourself. I had sides on it a they all went away and now i am normal as ever. But lets talk shit even though we never used it because some x person said so online. Studies will always be more reliable than some nobody's opinion online. Most of these "permament sides" people are probably paranoid or have some other medical issues.
@@navalh8679 yes please give me studies that have thousands of participants with control groups and everything ( high quality studies) and not those with few people in them. And you know what i wont even discuss this nonsense anymore i think certified doctors know more than some nobody broscientist online.
@@navalh8679 some of those i have allready seen. Anyway if Finasteride is such dangerous poisoning medication FDA and EMA would already banned it long time ago. Nobody is disputing side effects but people are claiming a lot of shit that they dont even get. And you cant now say its because of money because Finasteride is not even making that much money compared to other drugs. I will continue using it for as long as we dont get something better.
@@saellenx3528 So again, you're believing the same studies that claim that Finasteride side effects only occur in under 10% of users as the Gospel Truth from the same studies that omit negative findings and deflate the negative side effects rate, which does not make any logical sense. Those studies lose integrity due to that, and it wouldnt be a stretch to believe they'd also falsely inflate "positive results" when they've already commited biasness/progaganda and probably corruption/fraud.
These studies that are pro-Finasteride that are supposedly "independent studies on Finasteride" are usually just corrupt studies that are funded secretly by Big Pharma/Merck with bought off scientists and regulatory board members to portray Finasteride in a positive light. It's simple Business 101 and marketing.
Go to any major hair loss forum that is worthy of respect (not reddit lol) on the internet and you will see a phletora of people say they either experienced side effects on Finasteride or are scared to use it because they know people who actually had side effects.
I wouldn't believe studies that make a product look only good, even if theres more of these studies - it's actually logical that Finasteride would have more pro-Finasteride studies that paint it in a positive light than negative studies because Big Pharma has billions of dollars and that comes with large resources and marketing power to portray Finasteride in a positive light (falsely). They've also had a head start for at least a decade to portray Finasteride in a positive light, but as of 2011, exponentially more and more studies are showing how dangerous Finasteride actually is as opposed to what was advertised and how many more people are speaking out about their side effects.
Money is power however, and there's corruption in every industry or government in the world so as to why some people think the pharmaceutical industry isn't corrupt and isn't ruled by money, is ludicrous.
I would definitely choose to believe the studies that are against Finasteride especially when there's so many studies that speak highly negative against Finasteride. There's several websites talking negative about Finasterides side effects now, there's also a literal organization called Post Finasteride Syndrome Organization that has almost 100 000 users that are regular on its website that is used for those that experience persistent/permanent side effects from Finasteride.
There were also over 1000 law suits against Merck (which manufacturers Propecia) which paid out $4.3 million. If they were innocent they wouldn't have had to pay anything out to the sufferers of Finasteride. So that says a lot.
Merck was found to omit side effects and lower the rate of side effects which is why they got sued. Also, some people died from Finasteride due to the permanent hormonal imbalances it caused which lead to things like severe depression. Mental side effects of Finasteride are real. These things are not small issues like someone just forgot to publish the full side effects report. People had to get paid off and bribed to be quiet to allow such to happen. Which is why I say even the FDA is corrupt to allow the omittance of certain side effects.
Finasteride and Propecia have far too many scars for anyone to believe their honest and have integrity. Once again, if they can falsely deflate the % of negative side effects experienced by users and if they can omit side effects in their publishing reports/studies, it's obvious they'd also falsely inflate "positive results".
With so many scars against the product it would be delusional to believe half the things Merck or other studies say that only praise Finasteride.
Yes, it's unfortunate that there are lack of better *FDA approved* treatments for Hairloss other than Finasteride currently, but there's other alternatives which is why I always recommend people try the safer stuff first. If and only if they have no success they can try Finasteride as a last resort, and only if their hairloss is really aggressive.
Also, they are working on getting Finasteride banned, unfortunately its a lengthy process and we're in a Pandemic so theres a huge backlog to work through.
The FDA is corrupt once again and ruled by money. That's the only reason Finasteride has been around this long with all the side effects.
"20 Liters of Semen" . great band name!
Gonna copywrite that one!
Im surprised at how accurate this is. I have been on finasteride for 9 months by now and its no miracle, its just like you have described .. the quality may improve but quantity wont.
malhar jajoo It depends on how much hair you already lost and for how long you had it already fallen out. There ARE actually many cases of people who regrew a decent amount of hair with finastride because they didn’t wait too long to use it. I just recently saw a video from a kid where his whole top and front part filled in.
STH AKA Angry Mathematician precisely ... finasteride can have amazing results it all depends on how much hair you have to begin with
Exactly
@malhar jajoo, I'm no suprised. They, Dr.Jayaprakash and Dr. KNudsen, are licensed, professional doctors with decades of knowledge and experience. I wish I had meet these two great doctors at the onset of my MPHL. :(
have you had any side effects
You two are awesome, thank you!
Really enjoying your video series about possible remedies for hair loss, can you please talk about revivogen and how effective it is as well!
U guys really put some sense in my brain
Thanks for the video. Do you recommend going for tests serum DHT, scalp DHT, Testosterone, Estradiol before and after starting oral/topical finasteride so as to compare results?
WOW ! those doctors are amazing if you have any questions they have the answer Great doctor’s thank you very much doc.
Amazing information, God bless you!
Glad to be on finesteride. I really don't want to lose my hair, and since 2019, I've seen it get thinner and my metabolism slow down. Getting closer to 30 has been a bit rougher than I expected.
Hang in there friend 😊

AWESOME CHANNEL YOU GUYS!!!!
Superb presentation, as always!
Thanks again!
Finasteride is such a scary thing, well based on what people have been saying on Google etc. You guys really explain everything so well and it actually helped me make a decision to start taking Finasteride. I have been taking Minoxidil and Finasteride since the start of the year and honestly, the results for me have been astonishing! My receding hair has stopped completely, and even started to grow back! All the hair I have is thicker and looks in better condition. The pigment of my hair shaft is darker, they are more dense and thicker! I did a whole video about my experience after 6 months of treatment and I can't wait to see what it will be like after a year! Thanks for giving me the courage to start Finasteride!
Can u please share your experience about the side effects it posses? They say it affects ones sexual health? How far do u think is it true? Please give your honest input.
Tariq Bugti hey dude check out the video on my channel it will explain everything :)
@@ThePainter1989 just watched your both the videos, u did well to volg it. It really helps for the people who r confused whether or not to use fin. I think i m gonna start using it now, the drug has been on my table but wasnt sure to use it. Thank you, looking forward to more videos on your experience with the thing. Subscribed your channel for that. Good luck.
Tariq Bugti thanks for watching! Good luck!
I'm 24 and I started fina 30 days ago. My temples lost a bit, and my hairs started to get thin so 4 years ago I started minox 2% and I got some results, I wanted more so early 2019 I started dermarolling + minox 5%, I saw a significant result on the thickness and quality. But I want more results, I don't want to truly believe it but I feel like minox 5 + derma gave me some regrowth on the balding spot, I'm sure that I see these baby hairs slowly growing bigger but I refuse to believe it, kinda weird but yeah, I have the hope that fina increases that point but I'm unable to be really optimistic about it. But after 30 days I start to see a difference, the first two weeks, I was loosing like 200 hair per day against ~20 before the first pill despite a little quality raise (It was really terrible for me because I never lost as much, my hands was full of hairs when applying minox, I was dreaming about it as well)
Few days ago it stopped, I feel my scalp "different" and the quality of my hairs is increasing as well. This is quite relieving and I hope it keeps up on that (hair)line.
Hey Dr Knudsen. GREAT hair for your age man. :)
Very clear ! Thanks!
You guys rock !!
Almost a year on finasteride , your videos and other youtubers helped me pull the trigger. I am a NW 1.5 (not totally bald in hairline just some thinning so there is hope for REGROWTH) so I still have a good head of hair and my hair feel much healthier and thicker. Before I took finasteride , the hair seemed so sensitive and when I brushed it with my hand it felt weak. I am so glad I did , no sides for me thus far. :) thank you.
I fear to think what it would be like if I waited another year or two.... only regret is that I didn’t start even earlier but I feel that I am rather lucky in that I didn’t wait all that long.
I feel disgusted when I read comments like this
@@rnisam92
Why?
@@rnisam92 lol what's disgusting my good sir

55 years old.I started and have continued on Finasteride for about 13 years now. The Doctor took a picture of my thinning hair before I started Finasteride. I recently had another picture taken by the same Doctor. I could not believe the change! My hair now looks like what it looked like 20 years ago.I didn't realized the difference Finasteride had made until I saw the before and after pics! When he showed me the" before pic" I actually asked him who is that? (forgetting how thin my hair was)
@Shady Isaac None that I know of.
what dosage and frequency?
@@zariftahmid3403 1mg daily taken with breakfast.
Can u share ur pics if u don't mind?
You've gotten no issues? No side effects in those 13 years?
This a the real deal. I mean people have been misinformed on crazy marketing products etc. The earlier you tackle and make a prevention on your hair issue the more chances you experience these benefits
*please do a video on why some strands of hair turns white prematurely*
Hey Doc..been watching all your videos been very helpful to stop my hair fall after using finasteride to some extent..
would you suggest derma rolling near the forehead area
.what are the chances of hair regrowth on the receding lines...
Thanks
I'm not sure if you guys read comments on old videos- but I just wanted to add a datapoint- I've been shiny bald for 8+ years and I have managed to regrow a few thousand hairs up top over the last 4 months. Nothing amazing there asthetically, but it does seem to go against the "once 50% is gone, it can't be a healthy hair" idea. I only mention this because I hear it repeated in this and other videos on the channel. (been doing microneedling,fin, and min.)
Any updates?
Very informative now I start taking finasteride hope will work for me
Hello doctor. First of all thanks for the video. Now my question is what is the right age to start finasteride considering I'm at early stage of mpb and any medical tests is recommended before going for finasteride ? Thanks in advance.
How long does finesterdie shedding take place?
How about Dutasteride? Dutasteride inhibits type 1 & 2 AR, and type 1 AR has been implicated in male pattern hair loss. Many people have had significant re-growth form using Dutasteride and many say it simply has no substitute. Finasteride only inhibits type 1 AR.
Awesome!
What is more effective doc for 36 years old taking finasteride 1mg or 5mg…
Please answer
Thank you
good video
Do you think that propecia 3mg/week is more effective than topical finasteride (fortified with minoxidil) applied twice a day?
I don't know why I didn't look for this channel sooner. Luckily I'm only 20 so there's hope, I've been reading about fin on reddit and the internet which has created an anxiety around taking the pill for me but starting first of September I'll be taking 1mg 3 times a week, thanks to you two doctors. Much love from South Africa
Benjamin Lambert so did you take it?
the anxiety for some is quite real
Hey I’m also from SA and turning 20 next year lol. We’re you able to just get it from a pharmacy with a prescription? Also how much did you pay, because I’m seeing varying results online.
@@SJokes yo man I had to get a prescription from my doctor for proceipa or something like that and I'm able to get it from the pharmacy in checkers with my prescription . I'd say just start with the suggested dose of 1mg daily because doing it every few days seemed like a waste tbh. I was afraid of sides but don't give them any thought and you should be good my man
@@mehul9793 yo sorry for the late reply . I've been on finasteride for a while now yes . Been taking 1mg daily except for like 2 months where I went off just because I got lazy. I've maintained most of my hair but recently decided to throw min in the mix to get some regrowth on my temples and to thicken up the top of my head
thanks a lot for this, How would you compare Dutasteride in low dosage 2 times a week with Finasteride in terms of effectiveness and stability, regrowth?
I would be interested in this too. What about cycling duasteride, fintasteride and time off.??.
I've been doing that for nearly 8 months ... it works wonders I promise. The only "side effects" I've had from doing the combination of finasteride 7 times a week and dutasteride twice a week is my hair has become thicker and I have an increased sex drive.
So True Doc. I've been using finasteride and Minoxidil for the past 100 days and only now i've strated to observe some results
Did you just ask your local GP/Dr for the medication On the basis that you're concerned about hair loss?? Was there any issues raised by Dr?
@@darrencain1092 my dermatologist prescribed me the medication after proper tests and diagnosis so I started taking it. About 5 months in and i seriously think that everyone suffering from androgenetic alopecia should consider it
Dr Knudsen: Ask a question
Dr Knudsen: Answer own question
I'm 29 and my hair is thinning slightly, mainly around the temples. Would you recommend going on three 1mg tablets a week? Or is it better to do one everyday? I know you talk about three times a week but I don't know whether you're talking about older men etc etc. What is the best thing to do for someone in my situation? I'm not losing any hair yet but I am aware that it's better to catch this while it's in the early stages
If you haven't already, experiment with 3x a week. See if you get any sides, which you likely won't, and then cruise on that if your goal is maintenance.
At 3:30 of this video you say a hair that falls out today doesn't grown back for another 3 months. This has been your experience and your understanding as hair specialists? If true, this is encouraging for me because I've been taking Dutasteride for 3 months and it's clearly induced accelerated shedding. I thought all the shed hairs may be lost forever but hopeful that at least some of the hair will grow back (of course I probably lost some because they're too thin to recover). I spoke with another doctor and she said there should be a new hair coming up through the scalp immediately behind the shed hair with no delay, but from what I hear you saying, is that there IS a delay from shed to a new hair coming through. I'm little suspect of her opinion. Great stuff Dr.'s. I've seen all your videos.
update?
@@James-cg4jo No regrowth. I've shed and/or lost hair for sure since starting Dutasteride for 3 months and Finasteride for the last 9 months. So unless Dutasteride or Finasteride have been know to make things worse, then the hair I lost was must have been hair that was too far gone to save with these drugs. Or, I'm a non responder. But after looking at pics of my hair right before treatment and now it seems like it may have been hair too far miniturized to be saved. Wish I started prevention 3 years ago. Oh, well.
BTW, I''m only talking about the front and midscalp....which is just more diffuse and the corners are recending... The rest of my head is pretty much the same as it has been.
@@napnap609 maybe try, did the shedding stop? Also maybe try ru 58841 bc that nukes DHT to undetectable levels supposedly
@@James-cg4jo Too hard to tell between shedding and progressive loss. It initially seemed like shedding because I was alarmed that it seemed to be happening faster then I've ever known, but could very well have been loss I was destined for because if it was shedding I would have gotten it back, and I haven't. As for nuking DHT, no thanks. That's why I got of Dut after 3 months. Too heavy for my body.Fin has created a DHT suppression ratio that my body likes much better. There's a reason Dut hasn't been approved for hair loss, it's too heavy! Your body need at least SOME DHT for crying out loud. Unless your prostate is the size of a lemon.
What I want to know is what alternatives can we take if we don't want to run the risk of finasteride
Topical Finasteride is still in the pipeline with Breezulu. I use Minoxidil 5% in a 60ML bottle . I have ordered 60 Finisterade tablets at 1mg strength with a view to crushing them and putting them into the 60 ml minoxidil bottle and apply it topically. Can you tell me how many tablets I would need to crush and add to Minoxidil in order to create an effective topical solution. Any advice would be most welcome from the doctors of this video. Thanks
I remember like 10 years ago I went to a doctor and tried to get a prescription for finasteride. They told me that they had to take my blood. I told them no and didn't get the perscription. The only thing I've tried since then is those Rogaine like products and dyes.
Great .. in one video u said that for consective 5 years use of fenestride is highly useful ... what shoul be the way to take it for 5 years ... any break should we take in the middle and how long
:,) you guys. ... that you !!
Thanks for the video, very insightful. So if 82% had hair stabilisation over two years and 86% after one year, does that mean from year one to year two, 4% of people stopped reacting to the drug?
Take finasteride 1mg every 2-3 days take 1-2ml of castor oil a day and cycle that
Take pumpkinseed oil put a few drops of castor oil n hair when washing
Use biotin shampoo. Use 1.5 derma roller once or twice per week firmly pressing you may bleed. This works you can also stack minoxidil on but yu have use it forever if you use it except in beard the effect will last on the beard even after stopping
Hearing finistride is great to take for Transplanted hair - Strengthens and thickens for better results?
Can you make a similar video about dutasteride? I'm 23, with agressive hair loss. My dermatologist prescribed me avodart 0.5mg daily, but I'm afraid to start treatment because it's different of finasteride. The consultation was fast, I had no time to ask those questions.

Hello. Have you found any connection between finasteride and metabolic syndrome and diabetes? I have seen studies showing an association but not directly indicating causality. Have you found any relation in your experience?
Today I took my first pill..will keep updating
How its going

@@ratzelsambora7123 I did not see any side effects...Go ahead, give it a try
Reflex HyperAndrogenety. Dr. Can you please talk about this. Is it common? Can Finasteride cause it? Im ok with a " normal shed ". But a hardcore shed that can accelerate your hair loss its too much for me. Im thinking in jumping on Finasteride but im really apreensive because of this.
What about the high impact prostate cancer stats for use of of the drug.
In another video, you said that you prescribe 1mg 3 times a week - is this less likely to produce gyno as a side effect?
yea because fin has diminishing returns, so going above a certain dosage wont give you more benefits, but rather put you at a higher risk for side effects
What about combination therapy? Surely combining Fin and Min will shorten the result time and better result right?
my doctor recommeded finastride lotion plus tablets so which one i can avoid
Is it possible that stability doesn't occur immediately? I'm on dutasteride for 8 months and still seeing no slowdown in recession.
I have seen so many videos and cases, whole reddit full of stories and pictures of people who grew back more than 60 percent of hair if not all.
so how do u know if most are below or above 50% i was full baseline 4-5 years ago its online the crown for the most part can definitely see the scalp in some areas. am i still mostly early enough or will not get baseline anymore.
If dutasteride has more efficacy and similar side-effects with finasteride can I start on dutasteride 0.5 mg daily or 5 days a week ???.....or else do u suggest combination of finax 1 mg 5 days in week and dutasteride 0.5 mg 2 days in week?
Two questions:
1. Best time of day to take it? I typically take it every night before bed?
2. Is the topical as effective as the oral? Currently I’m taking the oral.
Take it before you sleep so you don’t see “side effects” and oral is the best

Hi, I’m taking Finasteride every other day for the last year. I should be starting IVF in roughly 4 months no exact date yet. Dr Russell said to stop taking 1 month before conceiving ‘so it’s out of the system’ and Dr Vikram said to stop a few months then said a few weeks before conceiving. From what I’ve read the sperm cycle is like 3 months so shouldn’t I abstain for 3 months before an ivf date to make sure it is out of the system
Does finasteride cause prostate cancer in long term usage?
Would daily hair styling products prevent Finasteride from working?
no
Went to my dr to get prescribed this and he is very hesitant. Sorry dr i'm still getting it lol
Dr.Vikram, I know you mentioned once that you were on finasteride and then quit. What was the reason for that ? As someone already mentioned in the comment section, there seems to be visible thinning on your scalp.
Maybe he had side effects?
He answers that question in this video at timestamp 8:11

El Tio Riqui minoxidil
I've been on it like 4.5 months but only .5 mg a day up until this week when I started 1 mg. So far not one single side effect 🤞 I should be on the cusp of seeing some improvement soon I hope
Update?
Would it work once hair has fallen out?
What does a less than 50% thickness hair look like?
Half less
which is more effective
Using 1mg of finasteride every other day or using 0.5mg of finasteride everyday?
they mention before in other video both are the same
Would dutasteride 3x/weekly be more effective theoretically than finasteride daily? Currently being prescribed dutasteride but feel maybe a more frequent dose of fin would be better
Yes, they recommend 3x/weekly of fin, so with dutas you should not need more. The difference between 3x and everyday is not significant in most cases, and dutas has a really stronger half-life and is a stronger drug than fin, so 3x should be fine.
How can I tell if my thinning hair has thinned more than 50% or not?
You don’t. Men who lose most of their hair won’t notice until 50% of it is gone. You also have to consider that there’s hundreds of thousands of hair strains on your head. So you won’t know you’ve lost half your hair until…you lose half of it.
@@natechenry I think the question was related to the thickness of a single hair not the overall appearance of all the hairs.
What about saw palmetto vs finasteride?
I lost probably 60 percent of my hair all over the head except from the sides, I used saw palmetto and got very little new hair growth, shouldn't I get more hair regrowth if I use finasteride then (which is stronger) ?
These guys are saying you can't improve with 50% hair diameter decrease yet they don't explain why or how you even determine what stage of miniaturization you are at.
I took finasteride for more than a year (with very good results) until I knew my wife was pregnant. My "baby" is now 13 yo with a tremendous genetics and super healthy. Side effects (sexual drive, semen viscosity and volume) were gone after stopping the drug.
Iam on finasteride too me and my girl wanna make a child do you stop taking finasteride?
@@serifdincer208 I would
@@RoldanGarron thank you
@@serifdincer208 and get back on it if you want your hair. Better to be safe than sorry
Would the use of Finasteride over a period of time (months to years) increase 5-AR concentration? A follow-up of this question is that, if this were to be true, would the discontinuation of this medication result in more profound hair loss than normal due to elevated 5-AR levels?
@Anton eckhart shut up with your bro science
Is 0.5 mg alternate days effective?
I started using finasteride daily, a dose of 1 mg, at first, it was a terrible fall, and after two months the fall stopped, but the shedding did not stop, but it is less since the beginning of its use, here I am to 3 and a half months, and there is no progress, what is your advice, please? My psyche collapsed because of baldness 😢
What’s early enough? I started 4 months after I first noticed loss and I had already thinned out a fair bit in that short time.
that means your hair follicle are very sensitive to DHT , i guess try to take 1mg every day instead of 1 mg 3 times a week
@Josh your hair got destroyed in a short period of time out of the blue?
@Dr Beechas I'm almost 19 years old the hairs un my temples are thinning.i have very thick body hair too.does that mean I'm sensitive to dht as well?
My friend facing ED issue left dutastride after using for 5 month....its been 1.5 month he had left taking dutastride...he is very concern whether the Ed issue will be reverse or not. Please reply !!
can u talk about weight and fin
I was prescribed dutasteride and I have been on it for 5 weeks. I can see lots of small dark hairs popping up on my temples where I was extremely thin. There are some studies that show that dutasteride is much stronger in reversing the miniaturisation especially
dut is the best MPB drug.
At what dosage and how many times a week do you take it?
How do you get prescribed dut?
Any update ? Seeing any side effect or not
Does do finasteride or minoxidil cause shedding of hair when you first start treatment? Does your hair fall out more rapidly than it would naturally?
Minoxidil can cause, but not fin. They affect differently.
@@xPRODIGYxGAMER Hi! are you sure? The question is "when you first start treatment", not when you stop.
