    The data used in this video is wrong. The clinicial trials in the early 2000s showed that after 5 years 90% of patients either maintained their existing hair or regrew more. Also, another 10 year study showed that only 7% of patients went below baseline even after 10 years. No idea where this guy is getting his figures from

    I watched so many of your videos but THIS ONE seems to have an answer that I HAVE BEEN SEEKING FOR YEARS! I saw many dermatologists/physicians but no one could ever tell me why at some point my androgenetic alopecia started to have a mild inflamed look. Got a biopsy, some dermatologists said the biopsy was interesting, some said dermatitis, some said Lichen Planopilaris. No clear answer, but it’s interesting how the inflammation is following exactly the genetic and identical male balding pattern of my uncles. I’ve been having it for the past 10 years but it doesn’t seem to be destroying my transplanted hairs. Had a hair transplant 5 years ago.

    • @jcobjason3
      @jcobjason3 3 года назад +2

      Hey, ive tried them both, stemoxydine is cool, it works, but has a very mild effecto on growth. Alfatradiol im not sure, ive only been using it for about a month, and im not sure, but i think it started me to cause shedding, wich might be a positive i guess (like a sign that it is working), i mix it with finasteride (0.25%), so if my shedding doesnt stop ill up my finasteride dosing. In my opinion both are good addons but not very good on their own, they likely wont stop hairloss alone.

The internet is full of scams, showing almost bald guys getting a full hair growth after using finasteride which makes people having HUGE expectations.

      Im 25 I've beeen taking fin for 14 months now. Im not sure about "regrowth" to be honest but the greatest improvement I saw was the existing hair where the miniaturization was reversed. Before, alot of my hair especially at anterior was thin and whispy and you could see the scalp. After even just a few months I noticed how much thicker the hair strands were getting and it began to fill in. My hair prior to finasteride was like a light brown and now Its VERY dark brown due to the hair shaft thickening and people were asking me if ive dyed my hair darker lol. I really dont think I grew any new hair, but the improvements have been staggering and it also did completely halt my hair loss.

      Hello,
      So by the second year mark I realized minoxidil/microneedling was a pain in the ass plus the minoxidil was causing me to have dark undereye circles. I fell off with my minoxidil routine but kept with the finasteride. That being said I lost all my minoxidil gains however it still wasn't as bad as baseline. I got a transplant a year ago, which was around 2.5 years after I started finasteride. It looks way better now than it ever did. The gains you get from a hair transplant are incomparable to anything you can gain with meds.

    If patient has both DHT and inflammation problem he can use fin for dht and change his diet as well as use steroid cream for his scalp inflammation problems. Diet should not include sugar , processed foods, high carbs, spicy food, fried food, etc..Also stress needs to be managed cuz that has an effect on scalp health as well. Basically, one needs to tackle all causes of hair loss from all possible angles. It’s not just DHT that causes hairloss; it could be the major cause but inflammation and allergic reactions also should be taken seriously. You can use also keto 2% shampoo for inflammation because if it didnt help block dht in scalp it can at least treat inflammation and dandruff which will lead to less shedding and a thicker healthier hair.

    I’m 23. Would love to see you explain the stages in order you should try different treatments. A dermatologist told me i have a bit of MPB at the front but nothing severe (yet). The shedding is likely tel effluvium. After research, I think going straight onto minoxidil might accelerate the balding in the long term, seeing as min has a plateau after about 5 years.
    Is it better to get on min/fin early or wait until I’m showing more severe signs of it progressing? My concern is that I do not want to get on these drugs too early seeing as they will lose their effect before I’m 30.

      Best to monitor your own hair loss with pictures every 3 months and judge what you are happy with. There is no point waiting till your 30 to start if you have little hair left.
      Work on the assumption that min, fin and lllt will allow you to keep most of what you have and then slowly continue to thin 10 years later. With hair transplants as an option to fill any unacceptable areas. That is atleast what I am doing.

    1. What should you do if Finasteride is not working and should I take dutasteride or higher finasteride dose instead?
    For context: I've been on finasteride for around 8 months and have lost significant amount of hair however, it probably slowed down the rate of loss a little bit.
    You stated that it takes 6 months to see results and stability. In my case, there is no regrowth of hair and no stability.
    Furthermore, both sides of my family only have some thinning hair which is to be expected for men who are 50+ but no one is bald or have excessive thinning.
    I have diffuse thinning on the top and sides of my head but not the back. The hairline is nw1. I'm 21 and have been losing hair for around 1.5 - 2 years
    I consulted with a trichologist and he told me that there isn't much dht build up in the scalp and I should get bloodwork done. I plan on consulting with someone else as well.
    I'll probably add minoxidil and possibly laser.
    2. So, what other causes of hairloss could it be if it isn't genetic (for someone in my case) and what should I do about it?

      If monotherapy is not effective maybe you need to add more things to your regimen and if you still continue to lose ground then throw the kitchen sink at it. Finasteride is not getting rid of all androgens in your system and it also causes your testosterone levels to increase so you need a topical anti-androgen to take care of the remaining androgens in your scalp like CB-03-01 or RU58841. That is all you can't do as far as prevention goes. As for stimulation you can also add to your regimen minoxidil, dermarolling and a low level laser hat.

      How much do you take per week of fin? These doctors say to start at 3mg a week and if thats effective no need to do the recommended 7 mg a week, as it only gives a higher chance of side effects. So if you're doing 7 mg a week, I'd cut to 3 mg and see if you have any improvement, as I dont think it will make u lose any hair from decreasing the dosage.

    • @kylekeenan3485
      @kylekeenan3485 3 года назад +2

      The lowering of the dose is ideal for reducing the side effects and attempting to have as little fin in your body whilst maintaining its affect on reducing your hairloss which is different for every person.
      If your not really noticing any side effects then continue as you are to watch the results. If you do notice side effects, then you should consider reducing your amount, but remember that could reduce its effect. The only way to know is to monitor the benefits you are getting at your current dose.
      If you looking thin then add LLLT and Minoxidil too, they complimemt fin and can make the hair recovery even better. However its not necessary right now if you are getting great results from fin alone. Just have to be patient. Proper results are measured in months not weeks.
      For measuring results and hairloss, I picked a light in my house and stand under it at night time (so lighting will be consistant) and take pictures every 3 months. Try to pick a consistant hair style for the shots too like a middle parting and maybe after showering but when the hair is dry, that way to won't have different amounts of greese/oil on your head changing the picture comparison.

      1 year after this switch resulted in thinned temples and hairline. It was even making my hair transplant look thin.
