one of the best YT channels ever! Love you guys.

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.

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.

Which treatment is effective against it? Can you use Regaine (Minoxidil) for example?

Could you possibly explore the signaling mechanisms that occur when people describe the finasteride or minoxidil “shed”? Does a new, healthier follicle underneath talk to the thin, telogen-phased hair?

Hi Sir, Is minoxdil without alcohol workable instead of minoxdil with alcohol. Sir please reply.

One of the reasons the hair loss can continue even with a 5AR blocker is because other androgens go unaccounted for in the scalp i.e. testosterone that continues to bind to the hair follicle and cause miniaturisation. Is that correct?

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.

Hi guys, I find your videos really informative. Could you explain in one of your next videos what scarring alopecia means. Is it the same as normal androgenic alopecia? Thanks.

Hair is receding at the front but no loss of hair from the crown, which from what i have read this medication is more beneficial for.

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.

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.

If you have androgenic alopecia: 1Q: No (because the hair follicle is still going to be affected by DHT)

What can u do if u are losing ground on finasteride?

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? Thank you very much

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.

Hello Shivam, I’m not a doctor but I’ve also been struggling with hair loss. I think if you are losing hair in all of those places you likely suffer from Alopecia Areata Universalis. Check to see a doctor, especially a dermatologist or a trichologist if you are looking to stop it and possibly try to reverse it. They are likely to prescribe you Finasteride, corticosteroids or some other form or treatment.

Excellent channel. Thank you so much for all of this valuable information. I have a question: I switched from 0.5mg/day to 0.25/day of finasteride about 5 months ago. Recently I’ve noticed an increase in shedding and the density of my hairline has decreased upon closer examination, after having been quite stable for the last few years before lowering the dose. I’ve had a htp and my hair is very coarse so it’s not so easy to notice subtle changes, but the difference is obvious to me. My question is should I be able to regain my density if I increase my dose back to the usual 0.5mg/day?

@dualscreengrant

You probably should increase your dose to 1mg or at least 0.5mg. The only reason I can think of for using only 0.25mg is if you are worried about side effects. If you are able to tolerate finasteride without getting side effects, you should probably increase your dose to 0.5mg or 1mg.

Eat more. I was anorexic and on finesteride. I thought it wasn't working because I was still shedding a lot, but then I started eating more and now shedding is almost gone

Will we ever have a cure for hair loss?

Hi doctor, I too finasteride last September for 6 months after my hair transplant with no side effects but the only thing I noticed is that my anxiety (that I didn’t have for the past 10 years) cake back. Doctors here told me that finasteride doesn’t cause it, but do you have other view/experience? My hair is thinning so I started now to take it again but only 3x times a week as you recommend. Thanks for any thoughts!

The booklet is saying depression is a possible side effect, so it might be linked tot that. You could try stopping and starting again on a lower dose and slowly building up, that's what I did (I had different side effects) and worked quite well to weed out the worst sides.

@@ElmerAwesome thanks for the feedback. That’s what I did, started with once a week, moved to twice then now taking it only three times a week, all since 2 months ago. I’m having bit of groin pain on my left side when I do some yoga positions (similar to what happened last time and was gone after a while).. so let’s see. But refreshing to heard that reducing the dosage second time got rid of side effects!

@@TokenTornado Early 2021, I had POIS sort of symptoms for a week so I panicked and I stopped finasteride (3 times a week) as I read POIS could be a symptom. I started this week taking topical finasteride 0.2% that reduces (based on a lot of studies) DHT serum inhibition thus having less side effects. My hair is anyways still thick and all I’m doing is just maintenance. Why are you asking? Did you also suffer from panic anxiety symptoms due to finasteride? My personal conclusion is that this medicine hits you in your weakest point, for some people it is sexual for other mental and so forth

do you think that age pays a role in these statistics?..an older persons hair loss might not be as aggressive ?..and maybe there is a better chance of being part of the 68%.

what if my DHT level is 500 should still be taking Finasteride?

Good information. Keep the good work. Thank you.

Is taking 5mg of finasteride every 2 weeks effective will minimizing side effects? (Similar to the 1mg x3 per week?) Cant seem to find the 1 mg tablets where I’m from, can only get my hands on 5mg gel capsules (cant be split into smaller doses).

sir love from india Biggest fan I started finasteride 1mg alternate days initially it increased my libido after 6 tablets i feel libido has decreased and not getting morning erections less erections.Is drug taking time to adjust to the system shall i stop or lower dose now or power through it and see if it continues even after 3 months. I have taken only 7 tablets till now its 14 days into treatment. Plss advice and suggest ways to keep libido fine.Will weight training and omega3 tablets help do i need to eat foods high in dht or testesterone in order to keep libido high.suggest ways pls

Finasteride worked better for me than dutasteride. I was on dutasteride for a year (after being on fin for 4 years) and I progressively lost my temples and hairline. Do you know why this could be? Finasteride was maintaining just fine for me and I never lost a hair in the shower on it. Been back on it for 6 months now and things have stabilized and regrowth has returned. Thank you.

@@shahzodmashrabi9085 Yeah I saw testosterone can still play a role in hair loss even when DHT is nuked. I had just struggled to figure out why these studies always showed dutasteride to have a better hair count. I guess there weren't enough studies done. In most of them people started on dutasteride, it wasn't a switch from fin. I can assure that my assessment of dutasteride wasn't a delusional one. 1 year after this switch resulted in thinned temples and hairline. It was even making my hair transplant look thin. I guess our genotype determines which balance of test vs dht will be better for hair. 6 months back on fin and the front looks great again. I guess I should just be grateful and leave dutasteride as a last resort.

No, it's a myth. If it's not addressed here check out Kevin Mann's videos on the topic. It was started in forums online by men disgruntled with their hair loss suffering from a range of preexisting mental health issues and lawyers looking to build lawsuits. Finasteride is an incredibly safe and well studied drug for male pattern baldness.

Post-finasteride syndrome is extremely rare. I wouldn't worry about it. A lot of people get psychosomatic symptoms because they worry too much about side effects. If you think positively and assume that finasteride will help your hair, you're more likely to get good results.

I’m on my second month taking Finasteride, 4mg per week. And literally I feel like the hair loss has stop. It’s very rare if I see a hair when I’m shower. Also using minoxidil once per day with topical dutasteride.

Hi Dr, I want to start with Finasteride now and do a hair transplantation about 2 months. Is it a good idea? What do you recommend?

Isnt it dangerous to stop something that naturally occurs in our human body that has evolved to be perfectally like that just for consmetic reasons, it seems like quite a gamble and unwise risk to potentially be doing something we dont know to yourself for cosmetic reasons... Does it effect our behaviours? We dont know, anything really..

Yes, most people in the 10 year study still haven’t had hairloss progression, really disappointed with this video.

does amount of inhibition of 5 alpha reductase done by finastride depend on persons height weight age ?

Those numbers may be droping because of the Age of the Control Group ? Hairloss does get worse as we age, even though DHT Levels naturally lower themself with age, so there is the general aging effect of the Human Body in play. For my part, I'am 22 years old, eat healthy, do a lot of exercise and do not smoke or take any other drugs, still experience hair loss due to my genetics and the DHT. So, I'am hoping that the dropping in efficiency is due to the age of the Controll Group ! 🙏 Just a thought of mine, just hoping to stabilize my hair loss till I'am 30 ^^ What are your thoughts on that opinion ?
