I love how the show is always in one clean take. It comes across as genuine. Thanks to your show I decided to get over my fear of Finasteride and save my hair.
If nothing else, I do not have the skill set to edit it....
Good luck with the finasteride.
@@TheHairLossShow 😂😂Love You!
@@TheHairLossShow aww so honest and cute to admit x
agree. This show is informative and scientific
@@TheHairLossShow hahah
You guys clear everything up , there has been so much confusion about treatments and now its all crystal clear and precisely explained.
Can some reply; if increase in testoreston then will the DHT also get more?
Also can shilajit increase DHT as this increase testorestone?
First of all, thank you so much for your educational videos, they have been very helpful.
Watching most of your videos about Minoxidil and Finasteride, I have a very simple straight question.
Taking an example of a male with male pattern hair loss and hair thinning, most likely due to the DHT imbalance, which of the following options or combination of options will give the best results. Best result would be healthy thick existing hair with some new hair growth if possible on the head. Keeping is view that the main objective is to have hair on the head. Disregarding how fast or slow it works.
1- Topical Minoxidil only.
2. Topical Minoxidil with thrice a week 1mg Finasteride.
3. Compounded Finasteride and Minoxidil.
I know Finasteride has very low risk of any side effects, but I am happy the way I am and feel otherwise, except for the hair thinning on the top of my head. If it does not have a significant difference in the result, I don't feel comfortable to play with my entire body's chemistry to have hair on my head and would prefer to just apply Minoxidil topically forever. How would that work for my hair on the head?
Thank you and stay safe.
Love these guys. Straight forward no nonsense advice.
Appreciate that.
You 2 Rock . Godspeed.
Please do a section on the role of DHT in the body in the next QnA. It's very important. Thank you for these video's btw they're very helpful.
@Sasi Arsivi well he's right but it also has useful functions in the body still. I don't know the details but basically sexual and brain function. Would love to learn more about this but can't find good information on that.
@@NightOwl577 are you on finistrade?
10000000000%
Just can't express in words, I have been cleared of all misconceptions and will now be starting medication after 4-5 months, as I don't wanna experiment before my Entrance Exams are over. The level of anxiety has really gone down due to these videos, love you both!
Did you see a doctor before taking it Amitabh? I am also an Indian thinking about taking it on low dose without a doctor.
@@AllenBaby7 hey brother, i'm from india too, did you start it without consulting coz its hard to find genuine doctors here
@@AllenBaby7 ur now taking fin bro?
Very informative! Thanks
Hey Doctor! There’s one topic I haven’t seen on your channel yet - supplementation, such as Nutrafol. Do you recommend anything in this area? And can we expect a video on it in the future? Would love to see the other doctor in a Zoom call with you too!
And also you've yet to do a video covering saw palmetto extract, as it's listed on wikipedia as a 5α-Reductase inhibitor
Love this channel! For a young balding guy, this information is well needed. How I wish this channel, with all the information, would have been available 3-4 years ago when my hairloss began. Spent 1 year in denial and 2 years in fear from finasteride and minoxidil due to not being well enough informed and few people online giving it a bad name.
You can get all the info you need about Finasteride here propeciahelp.com
@@dx398 thanks mate, been on fin for 6 months now and just started min 3 weeks ago, hoping for the best!
@@amanjohal305 there is no side effects cogitive like brain fog or sexual effets ?
@@aymanepro3658 No mate defintely no sexual ones, still going good. Would say no regarding brain fog as well, its more the Covid-19 situation causing slight depression if anything 😂 but yeah start with fin sooner rather than later. 1 year now, still going good.
@@amanjohal305 how are you doing
Doc, although you mentioned Dutasteride in your question. Can you make a Q + A on Dutasteride only? I would like to know more about it
I see it always been mentioned just as a sidenote in most videos but tends to be one -i not the first- of reasons for people stopping treatment so, Can you talk a little more about the shedding phase for using just minoxil, just finasteride and (especially for me) BOTH, PLEASE? :D
Amazing job!.
Tks Dr for answer so clearly and good for mr
Thanks a lot ! Can you please answer another question:
How long does finasteride work in general ? What can you say from your experience with patients ?
Doctor J. - Would you be able to comment on a potential hypothesis as to why axillary hair growth doesn’t completely halt upon administration of finasteride? Thank you for the informative videos! It is much appreciated
Thanks 🙏
Thanks for the valuable content. Please do a video on RU58841 and/or Alfatradiol as a topical treatment for hairloss. Thanks.
Hey, you guys are great. Please do recommend some good practice to improve or keep healthy hair during gaining process. Or of there are any supplements or medication can be used specially to avoid thin hair. I have a good growth but hair are very slim or thin. Please advise. Great job keep it up...
repost of Leonardo Rossini's comment so this doesnt get lost:
1:10 can you take a break from finastride
3:45 finastride or dutesteride?
6:10 what if i dont want to use finastride
7:45 how long until i see results?
thank's doc!
Does taking zinc while on Finasteride lower the risk of side effects related to estrogen like Gyno and if I took it with Fin , will it lower the efficiancy of Fin and wont give the Fin the best results?!
Hi, dr
I've watched most of your videos relevant to me; however, I just have one or two questions that haven't been covered by your videos.
if you get time, can you guys address the following questions:
1) I'm an athlete, and I'm wondering what/if finasteride would have any affect on muscle hypertrophy?
2) what purpose does dht have on the body that might be affected by reducing its production? I know it's a more potent androgen, as mentioned in one of your videos.
as you can see, my concerns are based on it affecting my athletic performance.
many thanks
This is a great show - thank you!!! Can women in menopause take finestaride - and at what dose?
Hi Sir,
I appreciated your works. I wanna ask about that after hair transplant to take Minox + finax OR Minox OR Finax for hair transplanted hair is important ??
Thank you for your videos. Would you explain how long will finasteride work for?
Does any one know the science behind why hair specifically thins out in the patterns that it does? I have had a slow, diffuse thinning on the top of my head since I was 17-18 (low hair density over most of the top of the scalp). I am now 29, and although my hair has always been noticeably thin up there, it is not receding anywhere and I still have my original hairline. The hairs that I have left are relatively strong and do not look to be miniaturised. I am wondering why the follicles that I have left are different from the follicles that have already disappeared from the same area. Why does the hair not all go at once from the affected areas?
Can finasteride affect patchy beard as well?
Should one use Finasteride at 35 yo when notices gradual loss the last years, but they are not sure they suffer from androgenic alopecia?
Thank you.
Sir, please make a video on Telogen Effluvium. I've been diagnosed with TE after losing 30+ pounds.
Hi dr. I'm taking my daily supplement iron 65mg and zinc 50mg. If i take finasteride 1mg 3x a week should i stop my daily supplement or no problem taking all together does any side effects. TIA. More power to your show. Im always watching and not skipping the ads.😄 keep safe
Question: how can you tell between acute or chronic telogen effluvium (male) and the beginning of pattern baldness (male)?
Please make a video on Diffuse Patterned Alopecia and Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia
Love your content! Is it possible to take aromatase inhibitors with finasteride to leviate the estrogen sides?
estrogen elevation happened due to higher testosterone conversion then the higher testosterone must aromatize via aromatase enzyme,you can lower your estrogen via 2 paths one is aromatase inhibitors or lower your testosterone so you have less conversion
Could you touch up on about shedding on finasteride and how bad it could be thats one of the only reasons i’m hesitant and i really want to do something about my hair i’ve heard people have scary shedding for months and if so does it just keep your hair as it is after the shredding or does your get better like does it return to how it looked before shedding or even better than before shedding phase just your experiences from your patients hair shedding and what to expect and how bad and how long til it starts and last I would be greatly appreciated etc i’m sure others would also great input always guys
Please make a video about RU58841.
Thanks for your fantastic videos. They all are pretty helpful. I stopped using finasteride due to a side effect (Libido drop) for 1 month and my hair started to dropping badly. I started again the same dose (1mg) but still I'm having hair dropping and my libido is dropped. Any advise?
Great video...i have grown baby hair at temples(after minoxidil usage)...could finasteride make these baby hairs thicker and longer?
Thank u sir..
Can stinging nettle be used as a substitute for Finasteride? There are studies which prove that Stinging nettle is an active DHT blocker, also it doesn't have any side effects. Would you recommend it?
Hey love the videos. Can you do a video on shampoo. Do you recommend any? Is there any out there that prevents hair loss? Thank you
Just filmed that very video. Will upload it in the next week or so.
hey i was wondering if you guys could make a video on folexin im curious about it and wanted to know what professionals thought about it
Evidence on topical finasteride vs oral finasteride?
Hello, I'm brand new and just started researching TODAY. I found your channel and love your presentation. My hair grows super slow. I get 4 or 5 haircuts a year. When you said to wait 6 months to see results, would that still be applicable for someone with slow-growing hair? Thanks
If the hair cycle is longer, then maybe you need to wait a little more. Either way, remember; stability is key. Good luck.
First of all Thank you very much for informative explations for Q&A . I would have a question for Finasteride or Dustasteride using which some specialist recommeds those drugs till before starting of 40 -ages for regrowing of hair loss in terapy...That recommed is true or not ?.....Your answer is so important for me because that's side-effects is so severe otherewise there is a wild-goose chase... please leave a comment for my question.
Have you guys ever had a case of someone who still had side effect approx 3 months after taking the pill even if they took only 1 or 2 1mg pills?
I have started documenting my progress on my channel.
Doing a 3 x 1mg fin a week and minox everyday.
Let's see where we get.
Thanks for these videos, very helpful.
im doin tha same! subscribing.
I just picked up my prescription today but not sure I'll start it just yet. Been documenting LLLT and Minox but will add fin before the summer. I'll go scope your videos in a second.
Me too!
I hope it works for you better than it did for me!
Omar S what happend to you ?
Love the show guys, very informative! Question: I'm on Fin for about 5 months now (1mg daily) and my hair still keeps falling out. Not huge sheds but continuously every time I run me hand through my hair some fall out. Is this a sign it's not working?
max hampapa hi , I’m on Fin for about 7 months now “ 1 mg/day then switched to 1 mg every other day” and i do still sher like crazy specially when i shower but sometimes it’s less! But i have an extremely oily hair ! And i think i have build ups of oil!! Let’s text to know more . +201065589083 whatsapp me bro
how is it going now?
Isn't it safer to start with topical anti-androgen, and if it doesn't work, move up to Finasteride?
What should be my finasteride routine for a woman in menopause and on BHRT?
Hello , when you stopped using the minoxidil and continuing to finasteride did you notice shedding ? I mean ,does it benefit to continue on finasteride alone?
Thanks for the informative videos! What percentage of patients in your experience develop gynecomastia after starting finasteride? Is this reversible if the medication is stopped?
they had a video about that
How does one switch to dutasteride from finasteride? Is it okay to just switch next day or is there a transition phase needed?
Is there a risk of rebound effect with Finasteride? that is either hair
loss gets more aggressive after you stop, or your body tries
to compensate and produce more 5-Alpha Reductase enzyme?
Can i take oral minoxidil & oral dutasteride together in the morning right after my breakfast? Or they will have some sort of conflict? Thanks
I've heard creatine (pre/post workout) and even ashwagandha increase testosterone/DHT, so if I'm taking finasteride to help block DHT, would it be best that I not use creatine or ashwagandha (300mg daily)?
Are there any shampoos, conditioners, or holistic solutions you might recommend? I've heard benefits of castor oil or rosemary essential oil as well. Are there any healthy habits to include when taking care of hair, or any significant unhealthy habits to avoid? Thank you all for such a helpful series; it's reassuring that such reliable doctors are spreading knowledge and kindness. You guys really help calm my anxiety!
Anyone know how often u should replace your derma roller to get best effectiveness and avoid needle dullness? Does it matter
Can I do oral finesterside 1mg 3x/wk, topical minoxidil 5% 1x/day and take oral minoxidil?
What is the recommended dosage on oral minoxidil and frequency?
If someone takes finasteride prophylactically before experiencing any hair loss, could getting off finasteride cause a “rebound” effect that would set off hair loss sooner than it would have normally started for that individual?
Can someone please explain finasteride build up mechanism/theory in our body. I dont understand that if we lower DHT up to 70% but get sides for example after 6 months even though our DHT is after few days already reduced about 70% (if we take 1mg).
It builds up gradually in the system.
I suppose after someone takes it over a period of time the fin builds up in the system and will start to suppress more and more dht in the body, therefore giving u more sides
You are supposed to clear it up every six months on average,
Let the 5AR enzyme work periodically, the build is enough to sustain DHT blockage in your scalp for 3 months, but your blood needs to be cleared of this stuff after sometime.
What is your guys’ opinion on blink pharmacy for finasteride? A friend of mine recommended that to me, as opposed to getting it through my local pharmacy, because blink is considerably cheaper. I was wondering if the results should be similar across most pharmacies while hopefully not increasing the risk of side effects
What do you say about combining finasteride with dutasteride?
Finasteride seems very promising but I freak out reading the side effects including infertility. I wonder if that was what my husband was taking for a while when he was younger and I am not sure if that caused his sperm issues (low count high deformity) or was it just genetics for him. In the end, we had to have IVF to have kids.
Is heavy shedding on finasteride normal? if so how long is it normally lasting?
Put some light on dutesteride also. Thnx
Please do for Dutasteride
Wanted to ask if finesteride effect wear off with time? Is it the same case with minoxidil as well?
Great video Doctor, what's your opinion about RU58841? It's a topical anti androgen cream.
Don't risk an unproven drug. Hold out for when Breezula is fda approved if you want to try something different
Hello Doc and thank you for useful videos. Can we recognize if a specific hair which has fallen due to shedding or hairloss? I have noticed some hairs is white at their origin and others dont. Does it mean something? Please answer. Thank you in advance!
@@tagada7 thank you for responding. I agree with you but my question was if we assume that someone suffers from male pattern baldness, is there any way to recognize if a specific hair has fallen due to normal shedding or hairloss. Thank you anyway again!!
I'll ask the same question here as I did on another video.. Does the long or short term use of finasteride casue shrinkage of the penis or the genitals? It is not a topic you've brought up so far, but it's a common question on the internet. It has made atleast myself to stop medication till I can get a clear answer from someone who knows what they're talking about, like yourselves or someone with your knowledge
sir plz make a video on CAPIXYL lotion
I've read that finasteride can cause prostate cancer. Is that anywhere close to reality? And if your patient doesnt want to take finasteride, what is alternative that you would recommend?
Vikram or Russell can you please tell me how quickly 5alpha reductase is made in the body, basically what is the the enzymatic half life of 5 alpha reductase?
I started fin beginning of the week, took it for only two days. I stopped because I was getting gynecomastia side effects. I now have tenderness in the breast area as well as rubbery lumps under the nipple. Will this go away now that I have stopped? It’s been three days since stopping and I still feel a slight pain in that area.
great content, have you heard of anything on Breezula? i am using finasteride but i will feel a bit safer if i added a topical as well.
Also, is RU58841 safe? and do you have to use it everyday?
What else can i do in my dad to day life to get a healthier scalp whilst on finesteride 1mg?...prp, coconut oil mask, derma roller etc should be done??
Hi! I have a question. I started taking finasteride 8 months ago. I saw immediate stabilization and regrowth on my temples and crown after 4 months. But now I noticed that my hairline is receding (the density and crown stay the same). What is going on and what would you recommend?
@@Itsmemario24 I switched to dutasteride 5 months ago and added topical 1% hydrocortisone gel with tretinoin for the anti-inflammatory action. My temples are getting better now, not to mention the boost to overall density!
If we are on finasteride after how many years or months we can stop it for a short duration??
And what is the length of taking break ( for not making babies but to stop build up and ADR )???
I'm sure many of your viewers who do not tolerate finasteride very well or rather take a natural product turn to saw palmetto... An interesting topic for a future could be alternative options to finasteride. Also is it beneficial to take finasteride and saw palmetto together?
Is it realistic to see your hair grow more thick? I have small receding temples, but notice that my hair is not all that thick, its on the thinner side. Can I except more thick hair aswell?
If you're on TRT can you still take Finasteride?
Does it have any worse effects?
Hi. Can hair expert doctors prescribe tablet minox? Because my gp said he does not have authority to prescribe a general dosage of 10mg minox tablet in Australia for hair growth purposes. Please reply thanks.
i'm thinking about taking finasteride and really think it could help my thinning hair but worried about the side effects. ive asked my doctor but he didnt know much about it. should i ask my doctor to look into it for me or just jump on it and hope for the best?
Thanks
hey guys id like to know your thoughts on ketaconazole shampoos? eg nizoral (2%).
would finasteride use affect my muscle gains in the gym?
sir, pls answer my question. What is the difference between Proscar, Propecia and generic Finasteride? I can't find Finasteride in any Pharmacy store i have come. I found in the Internet and they said thay Proscar is much similar to Finasteride??? I'm not sure abt it. Can i take Proscar instead of Finasteride?
Hi Doctor, Please answer my following question:
Q - I am not shedding lots of hairs, but I am experiencing thinning, so which therapy will be better in my case? Minoxidil or Finasteride?
With minoxidil you are just buying some time. Finasteride will be 100% needed. Start with it always exept if you are 15 16..than you start minoxidil and add finadteride when you are 18 at least.
Sir I'm 38 years old and suffered from baldness so I wants to used fenestoride so pls advised mg and does and how long it takes
Hi doc , Please do a video on how to reduce dandruff.
use candid b lotion on your scalp daily. it will clear your dandruff.
ketaconazole shampoo also helps
It I’m feeling mild sides in week one should I give it another week and some of it may settle?
Hey doc I would appreciate it if you would answer. You think by taking 0.5 mg 3x a week would be okay to see results ? Would greatly appreciate a response
Any chance finasteride will reduce/prevent excessive body hair growth??
Can we use more than one product at rhe same time , for example i have a multivitamins solution ,Coffin solution , can we use all of them at the same time with the minoxidil
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.
penile shrinkage possible with the use of fin?
Sir please start a clinic in India .most of doctors in India are just hungry for money and there are so many clinics and we get confused. We are even scared to visit any clinic because they do not tell us the truth like you advice us and they just want to earn money. I have many friends who want to get advice or counseling but they are so much confused and do not know. We will really support you and will spread your good knowledge and they way you are guiding us honestly .even the patients are ready to pay high price for surgery but still doctors in India play with their health and emotions.so we request you to open here too.please. and please if you have some clinic here or do you treat here then share your number or address so that we can contact you.please sir.save us from these devil and greedy doctors
Hey Dr Vikram/ Dr Russell If you could answer this I would greatly appreciate it.. was wondering if Taking Finasteride 3mg a week will increase the shedding period from the usual 3 month or so mark with 7mg a week. As I have heard speculation on this?
Marko Jov great question i want really professional insight to this!!
Hey doc im almost 18 and i have thinning on the crown can i take finasteride or i can take fin when i am 20
Can Finasteride stunt facial hair development?
Hi doctor, I need your help please. I use finasteride 1.0 mg everyday once and duetasteride 0.5 mg every five days. I haven’t have any side effects so far cause I have only use them for 3 months. So the question is that the right way to use them ? And there will be any problem in the future? P.s I am 25 and I have a terrible hair loss on my crown area and hair line. Thank you so much.
That is great that you are not having any side effects. Just carry on.
