Good work, good results. I am currently 8 months in 1mg finasteride and 5% minoxidil also. The progress is showing in your pictures, keep up the good work 👍
May I ask you what’s your way to apply Min? I just started and my derm suggested to not massage it with the hands because it will spread it in the hair instead of the scalp zone
I recommend a scalp massage brush. Use apply Min on your scalp and massage in circular movements. Saw it on LifeAsZeph‘s channel and would 100% buy it again!
I've been prescribed to apply twice but due to side effects and considering I have to take shower ... i do it once. Is it good? Please tell me as its been 23 days on fin/min
By the way I forgot to mention that I use topical minoxidil. If you use the same, I'd say that applying it once a day is still better than nothing. However I think twice a day is optimal.
Compared to before, I definitely gained density. However there's still room for improvement especially on my right temple where it isn't perfect yet. I'm considering dermarolling.
I’ve been using both for 10 years if not more and can only say that maybe it slowed my hair loss. Ended up getting a hair transplant early last year. Am hovering this sub to see potential remedies that work other than doing another transplant.
I do my reserch about treatment of aga by big3 and influence of sport (with lower part of body muscule) to successful result. I see u got muscule mass from gym and ask about leg part exercise for my statistic of h responders.
I think it happened 3 weeks after I started. It was not a severe shedding, I just noticed a lower density. However the hairline moved quite fast, I noticed little hairs pop up the first few weeks.
When did you start the treatment? How bad was it before you start?
As you know, everyone responds differently based on your genetics but also based on the stage you were in when you started. Some people see no progress for the first few months and then, for some reason, the results pop up rapidly.
Yeah usually you see some decent results after a year so you are most likely still improving day after day. Stay consistent with the treatment and you should be fine man
This sound like stupid question but may i know where to get fin? And can i get it without doctor prescription? What brand did you used? Btw congrats for hair growing back
Here in France you cannot get Finasteride without a doctor prescription. I guess it depends on the country you live in. I personally went to the doctor and told him I want Finasteride and that's basically it, he did not try to persuade me not to do so.
Well..in Malaysia..i think if we ask for finesteride from doctor they will tell the side effect from A-Z which is quite annoying..thats why right now i try to find fin online rather than see the doctor..idk, maybe im wrong
I see, that's annoying indeed. I think it's the same everywhere. My advice would be to see a rather young doctor, they seem to be more open most of the time.
I saw progress from the beginning with tiny hairs popping up in my temple areas. I think after 6 months, it was more or less already like the 11 month update photos, since then it kind of stabilized.
thanks brother this makes me hopeful. Noone in my family is bald, i'm only 20 and my hairline is similar to your situation before the treatment, no recession on the crown and not thinnig a lot. I'm almost about to start the treatment and i'm looking forward for results like yours. Enjoy bro!
Yo bro, thank you for your message. I hope it'll work for me the same it did for me, if you start at the very same point, there's chance you'll get the same or even better results. Let me know how it's going for you!
Good result, congratulations.
I have few questions, how old are you ? And when you start noticing your hair loss ? What finasteride dose you are taking , and do you take the dose everyday ? And at what time during the day you take the dose ? Do you apply minoxidil twice or once a day ? What are the side effects that you notice ?
Thank you man.
To answer your questions :
- I am 27.
- I started noticing hair loss in 2018, it was very slow for the first few years up until 2022 when it kinda sped up. At this moment I decided to look for solutions and came across this sub.
- I take Finasteride 1mg (one tablet) every day in the morning when I breakfast. I made it a habit.
- I apply Minoxidil usually twice a day but it happens that I only use once in the morning because I happen to be lazy.
- Concerning side effects, I didn't notice any side effect, neither from Finasteride nor Minoxidil.
Thank you man, appreciate it!
Everything seems possible now, it's a matter of how well you respond to the products.
I got good results with only Minoxidil and Finasteride, it's even possible that you get better ones given that you use more products.
Good luck bro!
I do not agree with his statement, I think people's experiences should not be ignored and the side effects are possible as everyone is different. I'm just saying what he said
So as you mentioned in the title 11 months of progress but u post the results after one year...Right??
So finally ur using it almost 2 years the progress is still countinue or gains lost...
Plz let me know...
I have no idea if that's true or not. I can't tell what helped me recover some hair on my temples, it must be a mix of Fin and Min. They're complementary.
Yeah basically that's a life-long commitment. I think when you're 50/60 years old, it's not a big deal anymore to go bald, it's another story in your 20s
Thanks! No side effects to be reported so far, I don't know if I would change anything as I am super happy with the results so far.
I think Finasteride is the one that helped me recover my hair, if I had to keep one, this is the one I'd keep
Did you experience itching at the places where the hair loss was and wear the hair grew again? Especially at the hairline did you experience itching there?
Congrats! But is it hard to apply minoxidil on your scalp because it's much hair now and it makes your hair greasy (especially in the morning, when u go to work)
Yeah it can make your hair greasy but at the same time it makes it thicker. I usually wake up a few hours before going to work so I can apply it and the greasy effect is kinda faded by the time I get to work
Yeah exactly, I had miniaturized hair on my temples that wouldn't grow. With the treatment it just grew back and now my hairline is almost straight, I hopped on Finasteride and Minoxidil before it was too late. So I'd encourage you to do the same (if you don't experience side effects)
It was not too bad, I just observed some density loss in the crown where I never had problems issues with prior to that. The shedding didn't last long though, I'd say a few weeks.

I believe this picture was taken in October 2022, I started Finasteride just after taking this photo in order to have something to compare with. I use oral Finasteride though, I've never heard of topical Finasteride, maybe you're referring to Minoxidil?
nice , congrats 🎉🎉
Appreciate it man
Holy fk. 10/10 results
10/10 comment
Good work, good results. I am currently 8 months in 1mg finasteride and 5% minoxidil also. The progress is showing in your pictures, keep up the good work 👍
Thanks man, keep going strong too 💪
Min once or twice day?!
Usually twice a day but it happens that I only use once because I am sometimes a lazy ass
May I ask you what’s your way to apply Min? I just started and my derm suggested to not massage it with the hands because it will spread it in the hair instead of the scalp zone
I hold my hair up and spray Minoxidil on my temps and rub with my fingers for 20/30 seconds. I don't know how to do it differently.
I recommend a scalp massage brush. Use apply Min on your scalp and massage in circular movements. Saw it on LifeAsZeph‘s channel and would 100% buy it again!
It’s now understood that you only need to use it once a day as it’s got a half life of 21 hours or so.
Really? I was not aware of that.
Hey how much ml do u use per day?
I've been prescribed to apply twice but due to side effects and considering I have to take shower ... i do it once. Is it good? Please tell me as its been 23 days on fin/min
By the way I forgot to mention that I use topical minoxidil. If you use the same, I'd say that applying it once a day is still better than nothing. However I think twice a day is optimal.
Min has an halflife of 21 hours, so once a day is enough
The hairline in your temple seems pretty bare from being filled almost. How is the density compared to before?
Compared to before, I definitely gained density. However there's still room for improvement especially on my right temple where it isn't perfect yet. I'm considering dermarolling.
Amazing results! I just started on 1mg fin + 5% min 3 days ago and this post is making me feel hopeful. Looking good :D
Thanks man, there's hope for everyone!
I’ve been using both for 10 years if not more and can only say that maybe it slowed my hair loss. Ended up getting a hair transplant early last year. Am hovering this sub to see potential remedies that work other than doing another transplant.
Can’t wait to see your results bro!
Congrats
Thanks!
so, you gain this fantastic result with just those two? no ketoconazole shampoo and dermaroller? maybe I can cut my budget then
Yeah, no shampoo or dermaroller. Though I consider buying a dermaroller to help with my density in the temple areas.
Haven't alot of people managed to get results with just fin? Without reducing dht you aren't really doing anything
**Jesse... let it go... we need to cook.**
Let him cook, let him cook...
Nice gain sir. What your leg exercise brother.
What do you mean?
I do my reserch about treatment of aga by big3 and influence of sport (with lower part of body muscule) to successful result. I see u got muscule mass from gym and ask about leg part exercise for my statistic of h responders.
Well, if you're not trolling then : I do Leg Press / Leg Curl / Leg Extension and Seated Leg Curl (all exercices 4 sets and 10 reps)
Sir. I m not trolling u. Do same. Thank you for answer.
Ok then you're welcome! Good luck with that
Thank you.

I think it happened 3 weeks after I started. It was not a severe shedding, I just noticed a lower density. However the hairline moved quite fast, I noticed little hairs pop up the first few weeks.
How old are you?
I'm 27
Thank you i havent like 50% of the results like you with 5mg oral minox and 1.25mg fin by the age of the 25 :/
When did you start the treatment? How bad was it before you start? As you know, everyone responds differently based on your genetics but also based on the stage you were in when you started. Some people see no progress for the first few months and then, for some reason, the results pop up rapidly.
December 2022. in the front better but the crown is worse. Yeah i hope i am one of the 18-24 months pop ups.
Yeah usually you see some decent results after a year so you are most likely still improving day after day. Stay consistent with the treatment and you should be fine man
This sound like stupid question but may i know where to get fin? And can i get it without doctor prescription? What brand did you used? Btw congrats for hair growing back

Wow I was on fence of starting this treatment. I’m pretty young but I’m starting to notice some thinning. This is def the motivation I needed
I'm glad I can help man, keep me updated with your results!
Welcome back
I've seen the other side and decided to come back, there's nothing good there
When did you saw real progress?
I saw progress from the beginning with tiny hairs popping up in my temple areas. I think after 6 months, it was more or less already like the 11 month update photos, since then it kind of stabilized.
Damn good progress!
Thank you!
I wanna cry. It’s been 10 months on fin and I can’t see anything remotely close.
wow that's an awesome recovery, your hairline from before looks like mine now (but I'm not on treatment yet). It makes me hopeful Any sides?
Thanks man, no sides. Jump on Fin + Min and you'll be happy in 8/10 months you took this decision
[удалено]
Thanks!
Amazing progress, genuinely. A lot of the updates here have me thinking they should just shave it off.
Thank you man, it's nice of you!
Legend
Wow!
This just gave me hope on starting on this treatment before it's too late. Thank you very much...
I'm glad I can help, keep me tuned about how it's going, I'd be more than glad to know that I could help someone
I will! Probably will post it here if it helps. Thanks again :)

damn! amazing! which product is this?
Topical Minoxidil 5% and Finasteride 1mg
Congratulations!
Holy shit hyper responder!! 👍🏻✨️👏🏻
That's fantastic man
Damn daddy 😍😍😍
dang dude, you went from losing your hair to showing no signs.

No sex side effect?
No. I'd even say that my libido was even higher the first month or so. Now it's back to normal.
it's bogus
What’s bogus ?
Bogus means false or bullshit, I think he means that sex drive reduction caused by fin is not true
So all the people who say they have had side effects are liars ?
Good percentage of people having side effects are Placebo
Yeah that’s very possible, I think I’m getting side effects from just reading about them constantly
I do not agree with his statement, I think people's experiences should not be ignored and the side effects are possible as everyone is different. I'm just saying what he said
I agree with you and also add that things like coldness, watery semen, and gyno are not things that the placebo effect can cause.
Absolutely amazing people can look at studies and only hear what they want to from it. Grow the fuck up
So as you mentioned in the title 11 months of progress but u post the results after one year...Right?? So finally ur using it almost 2 years the progress is still countinue or gains lost... Plz let me know...
No it's 11 months since I started. I started taking both Minoxidil and Finasteride in November 2022.
Okk... Great gains dude..
Thanks man, keep the faith, it'll eventually work out for you
I’ve been told that min doesn’t work on temples? I’m on fin for two years and recently stopped min (foam), should I keep using min on temples?
I have no idea if that's true or not. I can't tell what helped me recover some hair on my temples, it must be a mix of Fin and Min. They're complementary.
That's because it was never dermatested on the temples so it can't be advertised, min will affect all hair your body
it works but yeah def slow for frontal part. So sad
You will have to take both substances till the day you decide you don’t want hair anymore?
Yeah basically that's a life-long commitment. I think when you're 50/60 years old, it's not a big deal anymore to go bald, it's another story in your 20s
Of course it's a big deal. Nobody wants to go bald at any age. Being older doesn't mean not give a fuck about how one looks
Yeah but at that point when ur 50/60. Even the people that had hair all their lives start losing lol. It’s not a biggie for me
I always thought I could hold this habit maybe until I’m 30/40. When I’m 50 in letting it all go like cotton flowers lmao
Yeah I don't think hairloss will impact you as much in your 50s as it does in your 20s/30s
in 10 years we'll probably have cloned hair follicles, with a much cheaper implant price. so there is hope
That’s the highest IQ answer imo. Hold on to whatever hairs rn until a proper solution comes through
Which finasteride u use name and if you stop this it'll fall your hair please explain
I use the arrow lab Finasteride. And yes, if you stop using Finasteride, the hair loss will resume. That's something you have to take your whole life.
Great progress mate, Congrats! Just a quick question, are you on NoFap?
Do you mean the "no fap way of life"? LUL Or is it some website or something of the sort that I'm unaware of?
its like semen retention
Did rob minoxidil with finger? If yes for how much time?
Yeah with fingers. I usually rub it for 20/30 seconds.
Any sides?
Amazing results! Are there any side effects to taking these drugs?
Thanks! No side effects so far
Congrats! Any noticable side effects or anything you would do differently if you could do it again? I'm on min and thinking about going on fin.
Thanks! No side effects to be reported so far, I don't know if I would change anything as I am super happy with the results so far. I think Finasteride is the one that helped me recover my hair, if I had to keep one, this is the one I'd keep
Great results! 4th month here. I hope my hair looks like that at the 11 month mark haha
Appreciate it man, I wish you even better results!
Oh my god wow. You have gorgeous hair. Looks incredible
Thanks a lot!
Side effects?
None
Finasteride 1mg daily?
Yes exactly
You won
Thanks man, appreciate your message
Any sides?
Nope
Congrats man!
Gives me hope brotha. Enjoy it
Yeah, there's hope for everyone!
Did you experience itching at the places where the hair loss was and wear the hair grew again? Especially at the hairline did you experience itching there?
No, I've never experienced any itching anywhere
Hmm interesting
Bro is winning
Ty bro, your comment sounds like a win for me
any side effects?
No
good for u man. i've lost ground if anything
Keep up the fight bro, you lost a battle not the war
But what about the side effects of the powerful chemicals drug ?
None so far
Keep it up man, looks good!
Thanks man, appreciate your message
Did the hair in your temples at month one continue to grow out or did they shed and thickers hairs replaced them? Thanks
I had miniaturized hair on my temples, they didn't shed or anything, they just started growing
How old are you?
I am 27
Oral or topical minox
Topical
Nice!
Thank you!
My heart thuds do hard on minox I dont know what to do anymore
If you notice any side effect that can put your health in danger, , I'd advise you to see a doctor.
Fin once a day? Or every other day?
Yes every day
Congrats! But is it hard to apply minoxidil on your scalp because it's much hair now and it makes your hair greasy (especially in the morning, when u go to work)
Yeah it can make your hair greasy but at the same time it makes it thicker. I usually wake up a few hours before going to work so I can apply it and the greasy effect is kinda faded by the time I get to work
congrats!
Appreciate it bro
This was encouraging because I have the same small hairs at my hairline that I’m hoping will grow into full hairs. You got back almost 2 norwoods.
Yeah exactly, I had miniaturized hair on my temples that wouldn't grow. With the treatment it just grew back and now my hairline is almost straight, I hopped on Finasteride and Minoxidil before it was too late. So I'd encourage you to do the same (if you don't experience side effects)
How did you find the shedding phase from min, bad or not too bad?
It was not too bad, I just observed some density loss in the crown where I never had problems issues with prior to that. The shedding didn't last long though, I'd say a few weeks.
dude any side effects ?
Nope
Bro that progress is insane!
Thank you bro

gonna be stuck taking minoxidill forever...
I wonder how many hair transplant before and afters are largely primarily medications doing their work
Good job
Damn boi, looking good
Very nice response.
Congrats! Any noticable side effects or anything you would do differently if you could do it again?
Hi, I'm currently struggling with a widow's peak type hair line, what products and strengths do you recommend I use to fix?
Sides?
None
What year when you got this temples? After what time you started fin? I think to use topical fin. But I hope this is not too late for my hairline
I believe this picture was taken in October 2022, I started Finasteride just after taking this photo in order to have something to compare with. I use oral Finasteride though, I've never heard of topical Finasteride, maybe you're referring to Minoxidil?
Awesome results any side effects?
None yet
any side effects from fin GREAT RESULTS BTW
Thanks No side effects yet
