I was able to grow my hair back with liittleextra reactivate hair growth serum. Taken 3 months apart. First one in Jan, second in March. It's important to apply the serum directly to the scalp and massage into scalp with very little pressure. Do not pull on your hair. The hair coming in seems to be good quality. There's been less hair fall over all. I use at night, the serum does not make your hair greasy, but you only need a few drops to work - less is more. Additionally, switched pillows cases to a satin material so that sleep is easier on my hair.

@@irfanm5892 actually, it makes more sense to say that we are the product of genetic mutations and environmental filtration over time without any help of a personal God. It isn't some purposeful blessing to lose your hair. It just sucks and life would be better if it didn't happen. The fact that some people just lose hair because they happen to have the genes and the body for it is a strike AGAINST the notion that there is an all powerful, all knowing and all loving god in our lives. Regarding the moon: it took hundreds of thousands of years of humans being ignorant of outerspace and what the moon really is before people finally came up with the scientific method and finally discovered everything needed to actually travel to the moon. If there was a loving God, then maybe the truth of the moon and outerspace would have been revealed hundreds of thousands of years earlier in a holy text or something. It wasn't. You find NOTHING in holy texts that is unexpected based on the cultures of the times they were written. Nothing about DNA, for instance. Humans had to figure it out after thousands of years of people living and dying in ignorance. People were even killed by religious people for talking about how the orbit of the earth in relation to other things works. The best we can do is depend on each other and recognize that we are all we have. Then we can have compassion and work on the many problems we face (like hair loss).

Great information! Agree the best medication is patient specific. Hard to place a label as best medicine for all takers. Every medication can have side effects as was explained.
Please bring Russel to talk in detail about Oral Minoxidil, how it differs from Topical Minoxidil, and how safe is it considering that it's an off label use and there haven't been any Randomised Control Trials on OM like the one Russel was in for TM and there aren't likely to be in the future as no reason for pharma companies. And how should we as patients approach this fact.
Thank you guys for the work you do. Your insight has helped so many people including me make informed decisions. I wish you guys all the success in the world
I love how you said that you don't know what kind of a dose the patient needs, it's so true. You have to test it and to see if someone has the side effects etc... Not every patient reacts the same. I know and heard some people who got bad things from fin, but have gotten good results from min... Whatever it is our bodies are different and react differently so I have to thank you for your honesty! I talked to a few people and they said that Nordic helped them the most, so I'm just gonna leave it here for people that are afraid of fin, min and all that stuff. Hopefully this comment helps someone.
Guys, do a full fledged episode on Oral Minoxidil as you both haven't covered that in any depth like other stimulants and blockers and it is something whose usage is really booming all over the world with more and more dermatologists using it off label and please also comment on the optimum dosage for hair stimulation and minimal side effects and comment on the cardiac side effects if or how serious they are, and how can one prevent them or check for them. Please that'd be a great favour and a great addition to the channel. I'm a long time subscriber. Thanks!!!

A big disadvantage of oral minoxidil that a lot of men won’t like is that it increases body hair all over, rather that just on the scalp. For men who do not want to become more hairy, that’s a big downside. Topical minoxidil will always be superior overall, in my opinion. People complain about the liquid making hair difficult to style…So apply it at night is the solution.

Dear Dr Jayaprakash! On various forums some people say that dutasteride is not only ineffective in case of diffuse androgenetic balding, but sometimes even makes it worse. Sometimes it makes the diffuse balding faster, especially on the top of the head and around the frontal hairline. Is it true?
Could you comment on efficacy and side effect profile (from your experience) of very low dose finaseride (1x/week, etc) for those who did have side effects from daily or 3x week dosing
I started Finasteride September 2020 at 1mg EOD. Noticed that it slowed my hair loss dramatically but was still losing ground over time. I then added Minoxidil August last year 1x per day and have noticed over the last 6 month's the hair that was thinner, is now thickening. My current regime is; 1mg Fin 3x per week, minoxidil 1x per day. I've managed to find my minimum effective amount of medication, with zero side effects, and to save money, all of which i see as a result. And it's all thanks to the education from this channel. Without watching these video's in 2020 my hair loss would be so much worse thinking Finasteride was the devil and minoxidil would be too expensive at 2x per day.

I have gotten a hair transplant and racking my brain on what is the best and low risk of health defects. I would love to talk to you guys to verbally discuss this.
I started to thin very very slowly on the top front in my late 30s but barely noticeable, but when I got to 42 my hair started to fall out much quicker. Then it was getting very noticeable I decided to do something about it last May I was hesitant to use medication but I wasn’t happy with lots of things in my life at the time so i went ahead and started doing the plan. I could notice big improvement in a few months. 4 months later I had so many new hairs they where pushing the longer hairs up vertically. I was extremely impressed. when I had my first 6 month check up they where very impressed with the result, they said I was very lucky as this only happens to 5% of people or less.

Does minoxidil actually make things worse once you stop using it? In other words do you not only lose the hair you've gained but more on top? I would really appreciate a professional answer. Thanks.

Seconding doing a full episode on oral minoxidil
I take 2.5mg of oral minoxidil in the morning and 2.5mg at night. I believe 1mg of oral minoxidil is equivalent to around using topical. No side effects- just thicker healthier hair and revived follicles. More hair all over body and more facial hair. I will say I did by a $20 auto blood pressure measure on Amazon to take the before and after just to be safe. Loved it so far. Needs to be discussed more bc I actually feel like it has little to no side effect at small doses.

Guys no need to put monoxide twice on you area,where u have very good and thick hairs,instead use the monoxide thrice antlers ,if not four times in your area,where u have bald sport …u will definite see quick result….

Is it viable to take 0,5 mg twice a week? Am pretty sensitive to this drug
I know this is not the right video for this comment but it’s the most recent. I have currently been using finasteride for 3 months and some change haven’t noticed any change in my hairline since. However, I am only a Norwood 2.5 so shedding and recession are already minimal to begin with. I haven’t had any problems with it. The question that I had was I take it the same time every day about 70% of the time. The other days I don’t skip it just take it late cause i am unable sometimes. I know everywhere it says take at the same time everyday. But How much of an effect does that really have on the drugs effectiveness. Any other guys here in the same boat?

Hi Brooke. Try not to stress. The shedding phase is actually a very good sign - it means the finasteride is working! Basically during the initial shedding stage, all of your weak/miniaturised hairs are falling and making way for thicker, stronger hair. I know it can be a daunting time when this kicks in, but stick with it :)
Please talk about BOTOX. there is a pretty good sturdy showing high efficacy similar to finasteride and it is being applied in Germany and other places in Europe

@@The_Voice_of_Reason748 I don't know any. The only related thing that comes to mind is a study called "Hair regrowth in male and female pattern hair loss does not involve the conversion of vellus hair to terminal hair". They propose that what we call "regrowth" isn't actually turning peach fuzz hairs into terminals but rather it's about awakening follicles that are stuck in a prolonged kenogen phase due to mpb. That's one of the reasons I use stemoxydine along fin/min. I'm surprised they insist on this 50% thing cause I see a lot of hairs gaining pigment after only 2,5 months after adding min/stemox once a day. Like if they continue to mature I might have a shot at moving from early NW2 back to NW1 within a year or 2.
Guys, remember that if you cannot handle the side effects of taking finasteride or dutasteride, there is another option. Very low dose topical finasteride sees to work, and side effects are minimal if not non existent. Just remember to apply on all the areas of the scalp where hair loss is common. This is the key in my opinion. The trick is to make the solution to where you can apply more than a 1 ml drop full. You have to think outside the box with hair loss, and do not give up the fight.

Bro plzz tell the full routine of 5 year. Also using minox? And finax 1mg daily?
I have been on Finasteride 1.25mg daily and Oral Minoxidal 5mg daily for 3 years. OM doesn't work as well as people hope. Very small regrowth for me personally.

@@tommygunTW1 yes I used finasteride only for 3 years and it worked fine. Until I had accelerated hair loss from getting really sick, then dutasteride was way way more effective. If you don’t see any loss on finasteride, I would just stick to it. You can also try topical dutasteride from Strut for a few months on top of the finasteride but idk if topical is that effective for dutasteride

I've seen a few video's with these Dr.'s regarding Finasteride. I'm completely perplexed why they never share the side effects of the drug? Has me concerned that they may have an interest in it''s proliferation. I stopped taking it because the side effects were great. Worst part was the feminization of my body. It did grow hair but I believe it made my chest into breasts and lost all my body hair and odd changes in my pelvic area.

Expect to shed some hair at the start of treatment, that means it's working and you shouldn't panic. Response is slow but steady, expect to see start of regrowth after 3-4 months, possibly more. At 12-15 months of treatment whatever you've gained is pretty much the end result. Minoxidil is lifetime commitment. You can miss a few days without ill effect if you need to for whatever reason. Good luck

Hello doctors. Does finasteride work even if I go to gym? Since going to gym means higher testosterone levels and hair loss, how much will be converted into DHT and how much does finasteride block? Should I leave gym if I am concerned about my hair?
@chendaforest
Жыл бұрын
Finasteride blocks the enzyme 5-alpha reductase which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the latter of which causes male pattern baldness in men who are genetically susceptible. It doesn't block hormones, testosterone levels should increase slightly if less is being converted into DHT.
