I'm 35 I was balding from the crown, all I do is take minoxidil twice a day, no fin, no derma rolling just lots of exercise, eat healthy and no stress has grown my hair back, bald spot is gone :)
This gave me more hope than the video 💯
@tone9016 people don't talk about it in videos like this, atleast for me it's what's helped, stressing is a big one I noticed my hair was shedding like crazy when I was in stress mode, study the stoic meditations if u need help 😅
do you take your minoxidil in tablet or spray on .
thanks .
best.
@tomsmedley9886 I use the foam and it's what's worked for me so far
@@oldhpirs4 thanks tony i will see if we have it here in uk .
best
This also shows how important is to start the treatment early because the sooner you start the better the success.
permanent?
@@kaleabspica8437 no it is not. As soon as you stop you will most likely start balding again. It's a lifelong commitment or until you want to stop.
Who lives younger for lifetime bro? In young age it's worrying but in old age definitely we will get weak that's okay. The point is that why look bald in young age. Whatever the remedy is it's good if you get good hair and enjoy life☺️
@@Harshreal1 make sense bro
Really like the two camera angles! Thanks for explaining things so clearly and not making judgments about the people in your reaction videos. Always refreshing.
It really shows that you enjoy teaching. You have an excellent calm manner, made all the better with your calm, smooth voice. Good work!
Man I can really see how much hair you've started to regrow Dr. G. Thank you for all you do for us. Few doctors would like to spend their time to make really good educational content like this from a good reputable doctor.
how?
He doesn’t mention any side effects, so your research 80% of males experience the same side effects .
@@raphaelfernandes5195 His eyebrows. He has an extreme type of alopecia that makes you lose all your body hair so at one point, he even lost the hair in his eyebrows. As you can see in this video though, his eyebrows are starting to grow back which is a sign that all of his body hair is starting to grow back again.
@@seekasearchsmart7585 That's because he gets a kickback to promote pharmaceuticals!
@@kevinnorris6558 which type of alopecia is that the hairs come back?
Awesome video, Dr. Gary.
I've done a short video with Garrido after his hit video.
His overall treatment is excellent,, and many viewers saw value in it.
Thank you again for all your fantastic work.
Thanks Dr. Linkov for the great reaction video. Very valuable and informative, I enjoyed it a lot! Greetings from Vienna 😊
your uploads have been so on point lately, i was just doing research on minoxidil as you uploaded this. and the same with your last video on post acne erythema! amazing
I appreciate that!
@@drgarylinkov whats your take on if minoxidil causes skin aging besides drying affect on skin because you can put a moisturizer on?
I just want to say that you are a great Dr. You are calm and collected and confident. Very good sir
Congratulations for getting the eyebrows back. Hopefully it all comes back soon too :)
Do you know how he got it?
@@arefhussaini791 Olumiant. He talks about in another video: "Hair Loss Drug to Cure MY BALDNESS | Alopecia Areata Cure"
@@arefhussaini791 maybe minoxidil
That was great. I shed a ton of hair for about a 6 week period last summer ( 2022 ). Then it stopped. The hair loss was from the top of my head, and I could notice it when I would part my hair. The shedding then stopped. I've read the negative effects of these medicines on testosterone production, so for now I'm holding off on doing anything.
Great to see a finasteride and minoxidil video that isn't clickbait fear mongering for once, and actually showing how amazing these treatments are! Sad that there is a bit of a stigma, but this video shows how excellent they are.
Watch Kevin Mann he shits on all the fear mongering.
@Mark Park Fair point, there is plenty of data that shows the overwhelming majority do respond well, even after 10 years of use. However, you are completely right, there is a % of people who the best they can hope for is simply maintaining what they have.
Then again, maintenance and not losing any more is still success to many.
The bad thing is you have to take these pills for life or you start losing hair again.. doesn’t seem like a good trade off to me
@@kingrama2727 If you don't have side effects then what's the problem with taking the medicine for the rest of your life?
@@akalion213 ummmm really?? Taking pills for the rest of your life?? Have fun with that
I REALLY wish you were closer to the Midwest. I love your informative videos. I just got my first transplant & VERY sadly was in a wreck & the airbag/along with the paramedics taking off my head wrap caused almost ALL the donor follicles to shed😭😭😭 and now I have to wait to heal & repay for a new procedure & no sadly insurance doesn’t cover the wreck🤬. Btw I’m fine & the person was just elderly & didn’t notice the stop sign. But BE CAREFUL AFTER SURGERY, don’t drive even lol, stay at home & don’t leave. I mean I have to laugh or I’ll cry. And it was a 2022 AMG G63(not being a show off, just meaning it was am extremely safe suv), but still that’s not a match for a pretty much solid metal 1970s American made truck☹️. The woman, 87 btw was fine, not a scratch🙏🏼
You look beautiful without your hair, Doc! I know it's not for everyone, but you have a nice head shape and the lack of hair really suits you well. You look like an otherworldly being, so smooth, so pale. I love the look.
Excellent idea to feature someone else's video in order to make your point. Good work (as always)
At the age of 30 I had a mature hairline but it was barely noticeable and overall had a full head of hair but was still worried I'd eventually start balding so I got on propecia as a preventative. A few years later I realized if I buzzed my hair it would look a bit thinner so I stopped buzzing it and kept it grown out a few inches. Today at 46 there has been no changes and I still have a full head of hair. I never got off proscar and I acutally upped my dose from 1mg to 2.5 mg. No side effects. So far it's worked out for me and taking the preventative approach is best. It's easier to hold on to what you have via meds than trying for regrowth.
Really wish I knew about preventative meds and maintenance I was learning to accept it instead and just been shaving my head for the last 7-8 years even before it really was showing much it’s finally noticeable enough to bug me . Was looking into getting a transplant but from the sound of it it seems like there are some good medicine i maybe should try first , really trying to do my research just really hard to get honest reviews and information, this doc is great
@@devon-savage-recovery You should be on finasteride or dutasteride for atleast a year before you consider the hair transplant route. I wish you all the best.
Dr. Gary Linkov, More Plates More Dates and Hairliciously are the only three RUclips channels on hairloss that I trust. You can just tell they are authentic with sound judgment.

is your alopecia improving? it look like your eyebrows have regrown and that you have a moustache shadow. Looks good and happy for you
Yea he is improving
@@cooldudecs That’s good and i’m dealing with some hair loss issues including hair thinning and i hope i can improve in my hair as well.

@@phinaexis981meth is a hell of a drug
Wow, welcome back, eyebrows! Congrats
Dr G you always explain everything so good and tell the whole truth
I'm a peri-menopause lady with a thyroid condition so thinning hair. Using the generic 2% minoxidil on my scalp has actually helped my eyebrows and eyelashes to thicken up. I was surprised but happy. I have full eyebrows again after all these years, I have even forgotten how I used to shape them!😀
Whaaaat, that's cool! I only have little half eyebrows so I got them tattooed. They've mostly faded now though
@@nunpho I thought about getting that done but my natural hair color is dark so I saw where the brow tats fade they can go reddish. That stopped me. I didn't want to be channeling Ronald McD on my head, ya know?
So you use it on your scalp, or did you put it on your brows
@@cynthiaking5308 Also the lashes, I am wondering if that would be safe for the eyes, I somehow doubt it.
@@JustTheTruth-Please oh 😆. I *loved* mines but I put in a lot of research into getting the best person I could. I have dark hair and pale skin and didn't get that overly warm pigment. Noone knew they were tattoos either, they looked very natural. The only real downside is the £££
Hey doc you touched on it in this video a little, but could you do a full video covering guys who are using minoxidil liquid on their face to grow their beard. I know it wasn’t approved for that but lots of videos on youtube showing big growth from it.
We’ll definitely film this video in the future. Be on the lookout! 👀
If I start using minoxidil can I stop it one day or do I have to use it for life
Man, I love your channel! Helping us men so much!
That hair journey bit at the end cracked me up 😂 appreciate your vids as always!
your eyebrows are back!! looks great
I know, right! 😊
What do you mean?
I wonder how he got it back. I have the same problem too.

Dr. Gary, your hair is coming back, dude!
I'm starting to thin a bit. I'm going to try this regimen.
Always informative!!! Here on west coast son has Dermatology apt tomorrow and we have a list of questions! Thanks to your videos.
Had this video going in the background while doing other stuff and watching in my periphery before actually looking and going WHOA he has hair!!!
I’m 51F and on a compounded pill of minoxidil 1mg and dutasteride 0.4mg. I’m already seeing a bunch of baby hairs filling in my temples, which makes a big difference. I’m not seeing a lot of regrowth in other areas but it’s only been 2 months so it’s still rather early.
It’s so nice to just pop a pill instead of having to mess with sticky topical minoxidil, especially since I have long hair. I don’t have any side effects either. I’m looking forward to seeing what Dr. Gary comes out with on his online hair loss store! 🥰
I dont want to put your hope down, but my experience using minoxidil was that hundreds of baby hairs grew all over my temples hundreds of them and on my bold area, but they never translated into real hair, Plus I was feeling tired during the day using minoxidil, I tried it for over 6 months with no results other t han I grew a thick beard, then decided to use hair system, one of the best decisions ever, it looks super realistic, I have a beautiful hair that can style, I can take showers go to gym , sleep and swim with it as you would with real hair, and once you are use to the maintenance is very easy to maintain, it cost me around 700 pounds a year is about 1000 dollars a year, since you need to buy new system every year. and I use 2 a year. I have a lot of dates and I couldnt be happier, I look 20 years younger.
How did you get it prescribed? Do you just go to our local GP or did you go to a specialist? I want to start min and fin/dut.
hi! how did you get minoxidil in pills? did you have it written down? thank you
@@RV-vx9ek in the UK I don't believe you can get either on prescription from your NHS GP. A private physician should be able to prescribe them for you.
@djbethell cheers for the reply? I'm Aus based so I'm hoping it's a similar process.
3:55 it's absolutely true what he said here, the problem with minoxidil is the following, when you stop to apply it, you will lose your gain and much more... That what I have experienced when you start minoxidil do not stop
"Happy Hair Journey To You All!" ---> The video you spliced into that pub! So funny. Love your channel, would see you in person if/when I need you if you lived close to me. Best of luck!
This is guy is so smart. Thank you for this video 😊
Dr Gary is a top G!
Hopefully not
Another great video Gary thank you! You are looking well. I have a question for you. I’ve always had a very dry scalp, like tough dandruff. Is there anything you would recommend? I would imagine it’s affecting my hair loss (on generic finasteride for over a year and still noticing a loss) :( currently trying baby shampoo and have used apple cider vinegar in the past. Tried many things to be honest. I don’t think the derma pen is beneficial due to my already dry scalp, I’ve use it many times. Maybe a particular oil could help? Coconut oil perhaps or rosemary. Thank you and take care! I’ll look forward to the next upload.
See a derm, it's possible that you have mild psoriasis. If you do it's a different type of shampoo that u need to use
@@AshwinJoshua999 What about ketacanozole
Congrats on the 500k!
1:30 do generic type finasteride pills lose their effectiveness over time? There are several brands in my country alongside Propecia. So I am wondering whether the generic types are produced differently.
After two decades of hair loss that started in my late teens, I finally started to see results last year from 2 things: I had 25 PDO threads placed in my scalp. The resulting hair growth blew me away. For the first time in my life, I felt so much new hair I actually had a stubble on my scalp. A month after this phenomenon, I finally was able to see my derm to get a prescription for 1.25 mg oral minoxidil. I have been using that for 3 months and had a similar growth trigger. I am now going back for another round of PDO threads almost 7 months after I first got them. I am so so excited and have never experienced or even imagined such results
Which country are you from? and how much did it cost.. please share your experience..any pain?
@@JJ-so7ir I am based in Boston, USA but the threads were placed in Lahore Pakistan. The cost was per thread. I paid the equivalent of $450-$500. The person who did the procedure did his residency and training from New York and is well respected. I experienced some swelling on my forehead which went away after 4-5 days. I went in with zero expectations because 3 sessions of PRP had failed on me(those were done in Boston for over $3000) but I was at a point where I was willing to try smth even if it didn’t work. Oral minoxidil was another pleasant surprise. I was expecting increased growth on my face and had already lined up an electrologist to zap away the hair that started to grow on my chin
Thank you for your response.. btw are you male or female?

I had that level 2 loss when I was 22 but I had no further loss for the next 40 years with no treatment whatsoever. In fact looking back at pictures of me when I was 11 I had the same loss because I’ve always had very curly hair so my hair could never cover bits where I didn’t have hair. Now the gray is a bit annoying but I can live with it. I do, like my mother did, have psoriasis (nothing like to the extent she did in her later years yet) but the hair always grows back after a flare up. When the psoriasis goes on a rampage I shave my head because having hair makes it more annoying and when it settles down I grow it again.
psoriasis ...ever try totally eliminating sugar from your diet?
you may be very surprised what happens
@@jadezee6316 Psoriasis and type I diabetes are both acquired autoimmune disorders and there is a fairly strong familial link for acquisition of psoriasis but a very weak one for the autoimmune form of diabetes. No compelling evidence for a link between sugar intake and psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis has been established or that glucose levels provably affect the extent of a psoriasis flare up. In any event I have never had high blood sugar levels and have never shown signs of insulin resistance or a failure to produce insulin.
Hah funny ! I'm 22, level 2 hair loss and i also have some psoriasis (really not much but it's annoying) i also just shave my head when it become too annoying
Sir sir sir I am literally your 11 year old version like. Actually I am 18 started balding at 13 (i too have curly years hair so my head look like pubic hair after balding)and now have big bald patches over my head.
What did you do sir ? Since you said u had no hairless for 40 years??
Cause Of hairloss was severe stress (stomach ulcers+migranes+emotional issues).
Will my hair grow back sir??? Kindly reply
Always find your vids very informative! Can you please do one on receding hairline in women? Stay blessed
Hi Dr. Linkov. I have been watching a lot of you videos and appreciate your honest approach to realistic solutions for people experiencing hair loss. I have been weighing out my options. I am 63 and have had hair loss in the frontal area (not so much the temples). I also have significant hair loss on my crown area. The loss began in my late 40’s and more so in my 50’s. Do you think that it’s too late for me to try a medical solution to try to grow back hair? I know without seeing me and consulting it’s harder to say, but in general since I am not experiencing any additional hair loss (probably over the past 5+ years), should I be considered a better candidate for a hair transplant solution? The hair I still have in the back and the sides is pretty full. I also just subscribed to your channel and appreciate your sharing of information. Thanks!
Can you do a video on the potential side effects of these/all medications for hair growth??
You mentioned the formation of scar tissue due to frequent microneedling. Does this affect the results of the hair transplant?
Bro your video is insanely motivating, love your style, thank you for all the infos, thank you for your share
I'm currently in the researching phase about how this dermarolling/pening + minoxidil ect therapy works. Struggling very badly with hair thinning and loosing hair.
In most cases i see people who use derma roller or pen, are using the topical version applying the drops of the drugs on the scalp because they say it is the most potent after needling. . But the doctor says it is more potent if taken in oral form.
So what is now the really most potent form? Or is the topical form more potent only if used after needling? Because the scalp is under active stimulation?
im kind of scared of taking finasteride cause im also on an SSRI and im woried that the combination of 2 could make any potential side effects (sexual or mood related) worse althought im on the ssri for 20+ days and havent really had any side effects and i dont really think i will so im asking for your opinion because i havent found anything saying anything about ssri use with along side fnasteride?
Also is it true that it increases the risk of prostate cancer because i heard that newer studies disproved that
Hello Gary, when is the best time during the day to use oral minoxidil and oral finasteride?
My boy got eyebrows! Looking good!
happy journey to you all in front of the audience really had me laugh out loud
Thanks for all your videos. The reaction series are actually kind of helpful to sort out the hype from fact of other sources.
Two questions from me relative to what you covered:
1. Finasteride generics - are they all much the same or could individuals see different efficacy for different brands (I've been on Accord for 18months no real improvement hence Q2).
2. Does the generic Vs OG issue carry over to minox (I'm thinking tablet form based on what you said on this video)? I think I will add as my second modality for maybe 6.-12 months before adding in a derma stamp. This way I can monitor variables.
This guy you reacted to seemed to show excellent overall density. I'm hoping just to get my bald crown filled as that is just the worst of the hair loss spots!
Can you do a video on Pyrilutamide? I know it might not be too much research on it but a lot of people have said they got good results and that its better than minoxidil and finasteride I was wondering if you could touch base on that.
Thank you Dr. for sharing your professional opinion. 👍
I use the minoxodil foam, but this video seems to state is that I should instead be taking an oral dosage rather than a topical solution. I use the 5% solution topically. What would that translate to in terms of the strength of a pill, and should I be doing that instead of the spray.
Your eyebrows are hairs are coming back man , may god bless you 🧿
Thank you for making this video. It answered a lot of questions for me. I have been considering trying minoxidil. I do micro needle every 6 weeks or so and use a multi-peptide hair serum by the Ordinary. I think it helps very marginally to be honest. I am 38 now and I have a slightly receding hairline at the front. I really don't know how to stop it, can hair grow back if the follicle is essentially gone due to hair receding? I don't think it can. I feel like a lot of companies promise things that won't actually work. Thanks again Dr Gary, l always enjoy and learn so much from your videos.
Take fin
Finasteride and minoxidil are MOSTLY preventative treatments. For MOST people you won’t see any magic new hairline-outta-thin air results, but if you’re starting to recede then it might be wise to see a dermatologist and start taking either finasteride or minoxidil to prevent tragedy further down. And you never know, maybe you’ll be lucky enough to get your hairline back without surgery.
Micro-needling every 6 weeks is not sufficient. Beginners once a month & build up to twice a month. I believe once per week is too frequent & it could lower the effectiveness of a potential future hair transplant
I had two operations spaced 3 years apart where my skill was opened on the right side due to brain tumors. Over 20 years later I noticed that it is only this region where I'm loosing my hair that is not giving me and a symmetrical look. So I have to ask is this hair therapy safe for someone like me who when through this experience?
A mixture of 3% peppermint oil/ 97% jojoba oil was proven to work as well, if not better than rogaine in a clinical study done on mice. Now I know we're not mice, so do you think its worth a try (the application was 6 days a week). If its worth it, should a person microneedle at the same time? If so, what gauge of needle, and should it be used every single time the oil mixture is applied?
Dude, this is a very informative video. It’s really cool hearing your review of his review because it puts a lot of what he says into perspective and gives me more confidence that what he’s saying isn’t just BS lol
Hopefully you’ll answer this but I was wondering when shedding starts after you take the oral medication. I’m going away and I’m hesitant of that happening while I’m away
Dr Gary, can you share your insights about Finasteride side effects? Are those common among your patients?
From what I’ve researched people recommend an oral finasteride and a topical minoxidil but you say it could be beneficial to use both as pill form. Which one do you think is better?
Dr. Has eyebrows now!
I thought I had read somewhere on the packet that there was an upper age limit for topical minoxidil eg 50 or 55? Is that really so as i have never seen any discussion anywhere on it ? Does it apply to any of the other therapies discussed here eg tablets/finaseride?
Thank you Dr, much easier to understand on examples, excellent video
Is that scarring rigidity a concern with microneedling long term? Does that modality eventually become less effective over time due to scarring? Is that a case to try doing MN at a shallower depth to begin with once a month? Thank you for your videos!
It's explained further in the main video to it.
I'd love to see you talking about the use of probiotics for hair growth.
They do NOTHING for hair loss
This was good and informative. Did I understand or misunderstand about the use or I should the stopping of using anything will cause any new stuff to fall out? Like once you stop, it just goes back to normal? Or does the newer hair stay? Thanks!
Hi Doc. So if I've been doing microneedling of my crown for years, and then decided to do hair transplant. Does that decrease risk of success due to the fibrosis/scarring?
I watched his video a month ago and I was waiting for your reaction vid..thanks doc
Hope you enjoyed it!
I do wish he posted consistently dry and or consistently wet hair for his progress that final before and after the left is damp at the very least while the right is dry. I'm 20 and am thinning pretty bad on minox and fin (doing derma rolling every 2 weeks) i'm around 3 weeks with it hoping to see improve in 6 or so months if not within a year i'll probably heavily consider a transplant seeing as it's the whole of my scalp that is thinning and has been since 2018
lol, i saw results after 4 months, and happy with both mino topic and finasteride 1mg
How did it go , wouod be super nice of you if u could share your experience . Btw i am going through the same things u said
Hi Dr. Linkov. Would you say that all generic Finasteride is equally effective ?
Eyebrows look great Gazza. 👌
You're the guy that made me take action against my hair loss. I started taking saw palmetto + other supplements and massaging my scalp with rosemary and castor oil. I'll probably start microneedling in a month to see if the oils and supplements are working. Then I'll add some more stuff gradually if needed
update?
TLDR: Before the shedding phase I had almost 0 hairs fall when massaging the oils on my scalp. Now it's shedding very minimally, but I love that it feels healthier and stronger, and it might be getting slightly thicker.
I was extremely surprised that for the first 2 weeks I had almost 0 hairs falling off. Previously I didn't want to massage the oils on my scalp because the hairs would fall, but nothing after a couple days of saw palmetto. I think a month and a half later I've seen very little amounts of hair falling, but it could be the shedding period. I have taken a couple photos and my hair seems healthier and stronger. I could say it's slightly thicker in the crown area, but could be placebo. Regardless, I'm buying the microneedling "equipment" soon so I can start with it.
PD: I don't think it has covered my balding pattern, but I have high hopes that in about 3-5 months we could see some changes. I also shaved my head before starting on saw palmetto. So now that it's grown I need a haircut to compare the results the "apples to apples" way
great,and i was wondering about mine cause i start a little bit thinning in my hairlline and crown area and its not even noticable cause i have so many hairs and is it good if i use minoxidil?what do you recommend since am not even shadding that much@@The12231
What oils do you use ?
@@ToeKnee831 hello 👋. I switched to rosemary and pumpkin seed oil. Pumpkin seed is less thick than castor oil, and easier to apply and massage. It seems research points to better results with pumpkin seed, so I decided to try it and I really like it. No strong scent, mixes well with rosemary oil.
I'd say start with saw palmetto (if you don't want minoxidil or finasteride) and rosemary + pumpkin seed oil with daily gentle massage in the scalp. Hopefully it helps 👍
Great info! Does this apply to women also? Or do you recommend something different?
men and women have different hormone levels. Women should not use finasteride.
Would you comment on Grand Lash MD for eyelash regrowth? They also have a brow and a scalp treatment. I know the eyelash stuff worked for me like gangbusters, but I need help with the balding crown. Do you know what they put in it, why it works? Will it work on the scalp as well? Thank you!
I'm about to take my first fin pill. Was getting some second thoughts, but this video made me feel better. Thank you.
How have you been?
Rip
Love your work Doc and appreciate the clarity on the matter!
I'd like to ask an opinion on a transplant I recently had ( 8 months). How can I contact you?
If you want to avoid medical therapy such as Finasteride and minoxidil, what are the best alternatives? I use rosemary and permanent oil in a carrier oil and massage into my scalp. I also derma-roller every few weeks. I did take propecia in the early years, but had sides and so stopped. I had a FUT and have definitely thinned a lot since then, so a little worried that I am losing the FUT. However, I don’t want to use meds that I then have tot take for life. Any further tips would be amazing
At least use the minoxidil combined with the microneedling. If the hair fall is aggressive, then just the microneedling will not be enough. Also, I would recommend you topical finasteride solution, combined with minoxidil. That is what I am using and I heard it minimizes any potential side effects.
Try oral or topical minoxidil but not before talking to a dermatologist. If that fails to work and you really wanna keep your hair, going to turkey for hair surgery every few years might find it’s way on your schedule.
@@someguyontheinternet4277 you can only get but so many transplants and youll get over harvest in turkey
First, u don't have to take the meds for life. Only as long as u want to keep ur hair. Second, there is no other alternative than using preventitive medications because nothing natural has ever really saved someone's hair
Thank you Doctor Gary for you video they very informative, I have a question I'm 51 and I started minoxidil 5% in October 2022 I use the topical solution and apply it twice a day, I have experienced a good improvement overall on all scalp but I still see some area of the scalp where I'm still bold, is this because the therapy is not working ? or is too late form me as I started at 51 , do you suggest alternative ? thanks.
Dr. Linkov,
I came across some material in a journal and a video about results using PRP and administering it via compressed air into the scalp without needles. I know that you've used this in the past. Is this something you still use as medical therapy and/or as a suggestion with your clients?
I'm actually scheduled for a consult with you in the upcoming months.
Hey Dr. G - any comments on the staggered dosing of finasteride? Mon, Wed, Fri for example. I saw a recent study showing similar efficacy, lower side effects...
I've been on fin for about 2 years now and I take 1 mg every day with no issues. I'd say only stagger it if you're experiencing the side effects
you can start with eod (every other day), and you can start with 0.5mg too..
Its up to you. it will be effective too... bcause it lowers the DHT in the blood by 70-80%.. I started with an 5mg pill (cutted for 5mg) then have side effects, I did quit, but I have to do a bloodtest and check my dht levels, so you I can hope on fin with much more security. and I have to get the 1mg pill, not the 5
When taking finasteride + minoxidil simultaneously, do you recommend the minoxidil in solution form or is it more effective if both are in pill form?
pills are more potent and more effective
Then ending was awesome 😂
"happy hair journey to u all"
seems that the signup is not working for me. Is the page down Dr G ? I have some questions about taking some of these medications while my wife wants to get pregnant. Does Finasteride and other medications have sexual side effects That I should stay away from until we conceive? Thanks
I am using minoxidil x1 daily (2 x daily is recommended) (Regaine 50mg/g foam) + dermaroller and have regained some of the hair I've lost around the crown. Without visiting any specialist I came to the conclusion that my hair loss was due to 1. genetics 2. wearing a motorcycle helmet every day for the more the 20 years 3. Age (63). I am realistic and I am happy with what has grown back. Losing my hair has not been as traumatic for me as it is for so many men. I keep what I have short (I've got a great barber) and I am happy as a pig in mud.
So once you get your hair to the best state possible? Do you HAVE to use all of these things to keep the hair? Or you would lose all your progress ONCE you stop using them?
You would lose the progress in a period of time, preferably you should keep doing those things
So is it ok for me if i use dermaroller and minoxidill all together? Heard a lot of people saying that dermaroller and minoxodill together could let minoxidill penetrate in your blood flow and give you cardiac problems
Hello! Love the chanel! I have a question. I hope you have time to answer. When I microneedle for hair growth at home; do I have to do it only to affected thinning areas or all of my head? I use Dr Pen. Another question: how long do I need to wait to apply topical products such as minoxidil after the microneedling? Cheers :))
I started pumkin seed oil internally and rosemary oil externally. Consistency is the hardest part but I’m going to keep on top of it and see where I get. I’m not balding but maybe thinning,
I’m sorry bro but what exactly do you think oils are gonna do, bring follicles back from non existence? if you’re starting to thin then see a dermatologist to prevent further thinning, and if you really want those hairs back surgery might be the only way unless you get lucky with miraculous finasteride/minoxidil results. Good luck
@@someguyontheinternet4277 rosemary oil is proven to be just as if not more effective than minoxidil. Pumkin seed oil is taken internal to help hair strength. I’m not looking for miracles just help. I am not balding at all yet. 28 years old.
@@someguyontheinternet4277 Takes two second to see the efficacy of rosemary oil compared to minoxidil. Similar and more potent in some cases "bro" Can't believe people as mentally challenged as you are still around.
Don't waste your time with ANY of the natural remedies. They do NOT work. In fact, the oils clog your pores and follicles. Stick with the meds. If you're really, really lucky, they may work a bit.
I get to see several people like you in my clinic. Recently we had a 20 year old re visit us after a year and a half when we prescribed him Min, Fin and Nizral. Guess what? He didn't use it and went from a NW1 to NW3.
Hey Dr. Gary, I'm 17 and recently discovered that I am suffering from traction alopecia at the corners of my hairline. What treatments could I start with to slow and reverse the effects.
use black beauty as a shampoo. it has a horse logo on it. im just not sure if its available in ur country because im from the philippines. itworks for me. also im gonna try this minoxidil
@@blackpinkonly3242 Hey, thanks for the helpful reply. I started using 5% minoxidill recently so I'm going to see how that goes. Also I'm not sure if you're a guy or girl but if you are a girl then I think you should be careful with minoxidil since its typically for men and some women have grown facial hair from using it. Otherwise, good luck on regrowing your hair.
@@coolshadow4541 im a guy. im gonna start using minoxidil also.
First Stop the traction
@COOLSHADOW45 hey can u update how's it going?
idk if anyone said it but your eyes got me sinking in to them
im 23 and trying to get my hairline under control. It has started to recede in the past couple years. what do you recommend I do? I'm about to invest in a topical finasteride + minoxidil to apply to my hairline, should I consider taking it orally instead? Would it be good to combine both the topical spray & the pills? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
Finasteride ruined my entire life. Meanwhile these videos encourage young men to take it!
Tell us about. What's the side effe ts that you got
I don't believe you.
You say it ruined your lufe but don't elaborate 🤔 I call BS
@@DC_Fedens then go ahead and take it. Don't come back crying. won't matter anyway
I been on finasteride for 3 months now and I'm seeing incredible results with no side effects
Did you choose generic or propecia
@@Garenop what’s the difference
Hi, are you still on it ? What are the results ? did u get side effects
@marc6995 yea im still on it, no side effects. Results have been good on crown. Been 1 year now I been on it, I don't plan to ever stop.
I'm starting a 6 month supply of Finasteride this Friday, wish me luck :)
How does one get a prescription for finasteride if they dont have a regular doctor?
Is this a prescription that can be had from any simple walk in clinic? Or do I need a specialist dermatologist or something like that?
Wanted to ask something its been 3 months since treatment of dermatitis and I lost a lot and a lot of hair from it and now I am worried will the hair come back or not because it did crucial damage to my left and right corner hairline and I don't have a lot of hair there so will my hair comeback?
I’ve been taking oral minoxidil for 8 months, and started shedding month 3-4. The hair has not grown back. How long does it take to notice results? Thank you
It should have worked by now switch over to Finasteride
Dr could you please talk about minoxidil and the side effect of wrinkles? Could you talks about it please
I've been using Minoxidil for over 15 years with no obvious signs of increased wrinkles on my face. Just like my brother who isn't using Minoxidil.
@@jacku8304 thanks bro Internet is place full pf rumors, its almost like they want to keep us balding, so how did you respond to the treatment? You just use minoxidl? Did it get your hair thicker? My hair is thinning
@@godfatheful I used to have center parting hairstyle then I realized I'm seeing more scalp. So I change my hairstyle to side parting. That helps for several months but the loss of hair especially the crown starts to show.. I started using topical Minoxidil and dared not use finasteride as I have stage 3 ckd. It took about 7 months to regain back most of the hair I loss. The-first 3-4 months saw almost no growth. The thickness of the regrow hair started fine or thin and became thicker like the surrounding hair. I used it twice a day and after 6 months, once before going to bed. People with oily hair are best to shampoo before using it. An oily scalp could affect the effectiveness of Minoxidil.
Once I stopped using it for about 3-4 months period a decade ago and shedding came back. Recently I stopped using for almost 7 months and my hair got thinner. Even my barber noticed it. I'm going to start using Minoxidil again.
A friend of mine has achieved good result with the Minoxidil and finasteride combination.
Great video!! Can you please PLEASE make a video about telogen effluvium from illness/medication? (they dont know if it started from covid or isotretinion i took for 2 months before quitting due to tons of severe side effects) I waited 3 months to see a derm and she only saw me for 10 min and knew nothing about hairloss. I'm a late 20s female with previously VERY thick hair and ive lost about 50% density in the last 4 months ive had TE
Hey doc, when can we expect your hair oil to come out? Or did I miss it? I think you said it was coming first quarter of the year or first half.. sumn like that
Great video! I enjoy how you explain everything.
His hair looks great.
Also:
The irony.
While I was watching this, my eye lash area on both eyes became itchy and then some of them fell out. 🤦🏻♀️🤣 (I typically experiencing a burning itch before hair falls out. Sometimes the itch is so bad it will wake me up during the night)
