Hello Doctor, first of all I want to say that your Videos are really good and informative, keep it going. I have been on 1 mg of Finasteride every other day for about 4 months and since one month I am on 1mg every day. I am now starting to panic a little because I haven't seen any results and my hair loss hasn't stabilised yet, after the 5 months of treatment. Is that unnormal because my dermatologist hadn't any answer for me? What shall I do? Continue 1mg Finasteride? Start Dutasteride? When can you expect to see results? I am 19 years old with receeding hairline and haven't had any side effects. Thank you.

Thanks. It seems your hair loss is more aggressive than usual. Since hair loss continues despite Finasteride. However, let me assure you it would have been worse without it. Do not stop. You are too young for Finasteride though, but your dermatologists must have assessed your baldness and found you fit to initiate it for your hair loss. However I would be hesitant in recommending Dutasteride to a 19 year old. Are you applying 5% Minoxidil as well?

Thank you for the quick response. I am not using Minixidil because I have sensitive skin and am bit too lazy. Would you recommend it though? I dont know if my hairloss is extremely fast because I am suffering since 4 years and lost only a little ground each year. But like you said I will continue Finasteride. Is it possible that I will still see results in the next months? I read that it takes 3 to 6 months to see any results and I am in since 5 months.

I was wondering, My hair fall stated around 22 years of age, now I'm 37. As my hair fell and grew back again I became less worried and didn't pay much attention until recently when I noticed thinning hair shafts and lots of tiny hairs with uncontrolled shedding., I stsrted taking 2mg finestroid, 3 time a week for 5 weeks now. My massive shedding shopped. I don't know if its the hair fall cycle at play or not. I don't think I'm seeing any side effects yet. I was wondering if I should keep the current dosage or minimize it, since I think maybe less would do for me and minimize the chances of future potential side effects.

Studies show that 0.5 mg stops 60% of DHT conversion vs 1 mg stopping 70% stoppage, and 1.5mg to 5mg only stops 75%. Its about getting the most out of the least chemical exposure, especially since we're taking this for life, and will have to up the dosage or move to Dutasteride.

I have a few questions I was hoping your could answer: 1) Should we move him to 1mg daily or is 0.5mg the sweet spot, or should we do 1mg every other day? 2) What time should he take the medication if he sleeps from 2am to 11am? 3) He's physically active and lifts weights, is this negative in the hair loss battle? 4) Is additional protein supplementation a negative?

Your doctor would know your baldness better- how stable it is and how likely it is that your hair transplanted were not miniaturised. He might also have evaluated your hormone levels and your psychology and felt you are not the right candidate for initiation on Finasteride. If he has not started you on Finasteride it must be for a reason. Most of my patients take Finastreide 1 mg a day for 6 months after the procedure and then I see if the drug has to be stopped, continued or scaled down. Each person is unique.

In the other video you mentioned the protocol of 1mg of finasteride for 90 days followed by 15 days off and repeat.

What brand laser comb have you been using and how often? And are you still making gains?

Dear doctor, I am 25 and I am taking dutasteride 0.5 mg on alternate days from last 14 months as prescribed by my doctor. My hairs have become thicker and I am having almost zero hairfall. But I am facing some mild sides as well like frequent urinating at night (minimum 1 time per night) which is disturbing my sleep big time. And I think I may also be suffering from insomnia. Apart from these I am not facing any serious sides. What should I do?? Please help

Testosterone DHT levels before starting?

Hello Dr, I have really important questions. 1. I start fin at 26 with norwood 3. Balding since 20. I tried fin for 7 months already 3 months 0.25 2 months alternate 0.25 & 0.5 1 months 0.5mg Now, the 7th months I wanted to up the dosage to 1.25mg eod. But I think that's not enough so I wanted to take 1.25& 0.5 alternately. For example : M - 1.25 T - 0.5 W - 1.25 T - 0 5 F - 1.25 S - 0.5 S 1.25 I take proscar and split into 4. What is your opinion on alternating this way? Is it safe? I dont experince any sides on the eod 1.25. but the begininng of 0.5ed i feel eye a little bit dry

Topical formulation is a bundle of lies. Finasteride does not penetrate the skin in sufficient amounts to cause an effect. It is only a placebo effect.

Since you have been confused with so much information, you should try it on yourself for 3 months and see.
