Questions answered in this video:
- Is the transplanted hair relatively safe from further loss and permanent, seeing as though it was harvested from the safe zone?
- What is the max density we can restore? Do you risk losing some of the previous density/transplant/procedures in the same location?
- How frequently should I be micro-needling, and when purchasing a needling pen, whether a high or low needle count is the most beneficial?
- Should we get extensive or some form of blood work before starting Finasteride?
Thank you for your effort making these videos. I think your efforts are working out well as ive seen you referenced all over reddit. Best wishes.
Reddit is such a clown world, they should feel blessed for this channel
1.Finastride (1mg) tablet should be taken till lifetime..?
2. Finastride should be taken on daily basis or thrice a week..?
3. Does cancer can occurs as a side effects due to long time usage..?
Kindly give your advice.
1. Yes, but you will lose hair anyways because of aging, so I would quit it as early as it has no sense anymore.
2. They recommended taking it every second day, if you still lose hair, then you should take it every day.
3. New studies have shown that there is no such risk/connection.
What is the max dose of dutasteride within a week u recommend for some who hasn't responded to finasteride
Great stuff as usual doc - I’m talking through my own experience with hairloss / medication on my channel. Keep it up 👍🏻
1. Is it better to apply minoxidil when the scalp is wet?
2. If one takes 3mg finasteride per week, how often and how long do you suggest one stop taking once in a while to prevent finasteride from building up?
Thank you.
1. They advise to have completely dry skin as it's better for absorption, but it doesn't make such a difference.
2. It's not necessary, but they've advised to take a break once per 3 months, take a week or two-week break.
According to a recent research dutesteride may result In less chance of side effects than finesteride. This is due to the Dalton size of dutesteride being bigger and unable to penetrative though the bbb (blood brain barrier). Please comment.
Also dutesteride reduces more dht without giving more side effects. Why isn't dut approved by the fda ?
And is to safe to take twice a week
Topically ? I have diffuse and large area. Tried it thru Happy Head and it made me impotent, but was using it every day for a week. I may, with your anecdote try it again 2x a week.
How much risk is it taking a low dose finasteride when you already have medication induced gyno? What's the chances of fin making the gyno worse?
Cheers thanks mate 👌👌
Can you please talk again and in more detail about delayed finasteride side effects (even after more than 1-2 years) why they appear? (if finasteride builds up in the system already after a couple of weeks) and how to deal with it?
Also, have you ever encountered increase in peeing as a side effects?
Please it would be very very very much appreciated 🙏🏼
I am women age 40...I have enough having a children ...now hairline is reducing...losing my hair density in front head...in crown area....can I take finasteride 1mg for weekly twice ...? Female pattern hair loss having recently....can take tablet finasteride 1mg?
Checking liver function... Vitamin D ? Does that have a impact on hair loss doctor?
Fab. Another Q for you.. is taking minox and fin together worthwhile in the long run, ie once. Minox has achieved its regrowth does fin retain or is there significant benefit to continuing both? Thanks!!
They’ve answered this before, and the answer is ‘sometimes’ finasteride can hold on to the minoxidil dependent hair once min is stopped. But not always. Fin first to slow down hair loss, then min if you want to grow more.
Is it better to apply minoxidil when the scalp is wet ?
Hello,
what are possible reasons that minoxidil when applied toppic is more effective than oral minoxidil?
Do an update video about hairclone uk
How do u not do blood work w everybody???? When you literally block most androgenic hormone in your body. Doesn't matter the age, everybody should get their blood work done
Why the excesive worry? all proper proffesionals know that the side effects of both finas and duta are extremely mild and unprobable (just like with most of all drugs); you are already accepting the chance because you value hair. And if you have an issue you just stop and that's it, body will rebalance back again - the drugs wil not have a permanent change in your body; all those theories have been debunked.
the only valuable thing is maybe checking the prostate antigen value, as finas/duta can alter it, so in case of serious desease (not related to the drug) the values will not be showing it and it may be more difficult to detect. But that's just a veeery small fraction of people, its not common for a young man in his teens or 20s to develop prostate cancer, at all.
Is it worth/advised to apply minoxidil when you know you want to get a hair transplant in the near future?
Can using Dermapen 2mm hardly cause permanent damage to hair follicles? Please help me i do this for many times and now i note receding in my hairline and i use also fin 1mg and minoxidil 5% my question is that damge permanent or can grow again?
Do you meet people in your daily practice having heart palpitations( extra systoles)from topical minoxidil? Have you heard about such cases? Is that possible with the topical form when used normally as its recommended? (half of cup once daily)
How long does minoxidil work for most patients? Does it ever lose it efficacy or it forever works as good as it did in the beginning? especially when combined with finasteride as the blocker and minoxidil as the stimulator..
On average How long can a 20 year old who is balding expect to keep a good amount of their hair when on both of these treatments?
do gym and strength exercises effect the hair loss ?
No
Hey sir..I am from India..I am 28 years old..taking fenesterid form last one month no sexual side effects..but thickness of semen decreased.. water like semen coming out..I am ok with it..but from last one month I experienced huge shedding.. temple area is very much visible..my das is 56 and half bald..so I am thinking of adding minoxidil..am I on right path..or fenesterid itself enough to give me good result in future??
I have a question, how can we differentiate between new growing baby hairs and minituarizing hairs. I am on treatment for hair loss, i have so many small hairs around my hairline and i am confused if they are new growing hair or miniaturizing hair
miniaturized hair
I have also have so many miniaturized hair on my hairline and I have been using minoxidil for 5 years and it still remains the same
You should be able to tell if they are going small or bigger across time, altough I understand might be confusing at first. Try to take close pictures of the areas and then compare months after, if those small hairs are still there, they are making bigger or at least hanging thanks to the treatment. If they are smaller or gone, well...
@@whysoserious7553 Just minoxidil? That will not be effective, minoxidil has its maximum effect on the first year of treatment, some people can maintain results for another year, but then it will slowly lose its efficacy, just "some" follicules will remain estimulated by the minox, some others will not; you will decreace the speed of miniaturizing though. The treatment should be combined with finasteride or dutasteride to get proper relevant results (+ ketokonazol shampoo, altough not that helpful at the end of the day)
@@theledebb I'm using finasteride 1mg and I have tried using dutasteride but it cause severe shedding for an year so I stopped using duta continued with finasteride
Hello,
And what is the reason you do not typically do blood tests on adults before taking finasteride?
Thanks
It’s the conversion in the tissue (aka scalp) that matters. Serum or circulating DHT can’t predict this.
Well said.
Once finasteride is stopped, will hair loss accelerate for lost time? Or will the hair loss simply pick up where it left off before finasteride was started?
Simply pick up - it’s like a “pause” button.
@@glamapandacapital It's not like that. If you've been taking finasteride for a long time(at least 3 months), DHT won't be able to reach its start level for at least 2 weeks. But you will normally lose hair after that 2 weeks, it won't accelerate or something...
Hi sir, i am on fin and i feel that i am receding even more on month 6. My hairfall is low but its just receding more. Is this normal and do i have a chance to get back to my baseline?
update
I just really want to hear your thoughts on the recent dementia articles related to taking Finasteride. MPMD talks about his worry of Fin blocking Neurons. Also I've read a lot of comments from people warning about potential prostate disease from taking Fin.
All are myths. It's a wonderful drug to halt progression of MPB
Myths - I recommend stop hanging around in internet balding forums, etc, where a mass of people are saying nonsense regarding finas and duta. They all report incredible things, not checked by proper proffesionals and science. Truth is that those are a small % of people, mooooost, the vast majority of finas/duta users are just living their normal lives, without any worry or noticable/permanent side effect. THats why those drugs are sold in millions! Also most studies show there is no much to worry about. Finas is approved by FDA, Duta is approved on many Asian and Europen countries. Just relax.
@@theledebb Completely agree with you mate. I'm on finasteride for 5months.. Tbh zero sides
@@haarishay224 Thank you mate, it's just like you say. I was on finas for 2 years, no serious side effect, just the usualy temporal balls scratch and some liquid sperm, but it all went away after 1-2 months. Then I had to change to Duta beacuse of my gut intolerance to a finas component of the product here in my country, I've been on Duta for 6 months, no problem at all so far. I just take the pill when I wake up and forget about it, I live my life normally.
Before starting finasteride I worried greatly because I was reading the online doom and gloom stories about the horrors of finasteride. I just started taking it a year ago and tried not to worry. Worrying can bring about a self-fulfilling result. Even though I'm an older bastard my gorgeous love machine can get as hard as a rock in spite of finasteride use. Don't let all the bedwetters scare you.
