This is somewhat encouraging. Started both about 2 years ago and stopped after 6 months after initially hearing that it takes 3-6 months to see results. And then seeing more videos like this one where it can take a year or more for some people. I am hoping I am one of those few where it takes longer (1 year +). I started again this January, we'll see.
I'm in the same boat. I'm on month 5. I was ready to give up on month 3 (just wit minoxidil, not finasteride, because finasteride has COMPLETELY stopped my hair loss) but instead did more research and doubled down with microneedling. I hope we'll see amazing results soon.
@@aden774 👍. Post an update in 3-6 months. I buzzed my head to a 1 clip so I'll wait until June to let it 'grow' again see if I notice anything. Haircuts are expensive now. 🤞
@@aden774 Yes never use Finasteride it's a drug used for two different reasons: It was first approved to shrink enlarged prostates, but is now also used to treat male pattern baldness. It's not worth it to damage my sperm production and other male functions for some hair.
The point of minoxidil is for regrowth though, it won't prevent baldness, what prevents baldness are 5ar inhibitors like finasteride and dutasteride which actually blocks the conversion of DHT which is what causes hair loss. If you're trying to stop hairloss and maintain what you have, you need to hop on finasteride, use the minoxidil for regrowth. Both take 6 months to a year to see results, maybe even longer.
That is correct, although you see hair growing by using minoxidil only, eventually you will lose it because the DHT will catch up and the hair growth cant keep up. That's where finastride comes in to decrease DHT and fight hair loss
I mil 2x a day (per area) for me that was 6 mil a day. Shedded like crazy but my scalp was already a disaster. When I used it religiously 2x a day per affected area, 2-3 months the under growth thicken, bald areas sprouted fine hair and the shedding continued. 3-6 months slowly thickening of the finer hair and filling in of gaps. Don’t stop using the juice, your hair didn’t fall out overnight and neither will its re birth.
Can u clarify this thing I had temple receding on both sides due to hair fall for 1-2 yrs I think mostly due to going to a new place but now the hair fall is completely stopped and also want to grow hair back iam using minoxidil for 4 months which grew new follicles and Improved thickness how many days it will take to grow back
Guys I don’t know what’s up with me but my hair was completely gone. I been on minoxidil and derma rolling for like a month and just started finasteride like three weeks ago. My hair sprouted out like a chia pet. Hair lines are feeling in as well. Maybe everyone is different.
I heard that minoxidil stops working after certain period of use. It could be because a body becomes immune to minoxidil, it adapts to it and starts to produce more dht which then binds to follicles, causing hair shrinkage. Minoxidil is short rather than long term solution, so if you want to keep hair, you need to take different treatment like fin or get transplant.
Minoxidil does not affect the DHT pathway, but rather has an effect on potassium channels. There are very few medicines that truly "stop working" for hair loss. Rather, as multiple pathways can cause hair loss, other pathways may become dominant. Certainly combining minoxidil with other medicines like finasteride will provide superior results.
It only works quickly when you stop for under 3-4 months of use and decide to use it again because you changed your mind after losing hair you gained from using it.
Takes 4-5 weeks to grow back dot looking follicles after you used it for years and stopped because you got mad and realised 50% what you gained disappeared but the good news is if it’s not longer then 5 months of stopping use, it will grow back out again. They say after 6 months of not using it you lost the hairs forever
I tell my patients to discontinue the topical after a few weeks on oral, as the topical is no longer necessary. For those who prefer to use both, most will use the topical once at night. It is not necessary to use both at the same time.
Thank you, and what about adding oral finasteride while already using minoxidil ? can this action lead to better long term results, since we lower DHT around hair follicles
Yes! It's crazy what using both over the course of 1 year can do. The effects differ for each person, but a majority of cases see great success with using both
@@TheCoolman2782 unfortunately yes. finasteride is for preventing hair loss, and minoxidil is for promoting hair regrowth. after you are happy with your regrowth, you may be able to stop taking minoxidil and continue taking finasteride. but it's a case by case basis so personally I will keep taking both permanently.
These two things are completely different treatments. They can't replace each other in any way. Finasteride halts hair loss by blocking DHT. Minoxidil promotes hair growth. They should be used together because both effects are needed. Finasteride is pointless if you already lost a lot of hair that isn't growing back. Minoxidil is pointless if the hair continues to fall out.
Minoxidil on its own? Yes, because eventually your scalp will grow all the extra hairs it can. Minoxidil with proper DHT blocking? That is permanent or at least will last you until your senior years unless you do not respond well or aren't consistent.

@@Theendisnottheend my results have been slow. I have a ton of baby hairs, but they aren't growing fast or thick yet. I'm hoping by summer it'll improve. I'll have to look into that stuff though.

4 to 6 months
Should the pill be taken at the same time you’re applying topically or is it either or what are the differences?

YOU MEAN FOR YOUR HAIR TO ALL FALL OUT FROM USING IT ?
Temporarily, yes. That's a good thing. It means your scalp is making room for new growth.
isn't Minoxidil just a temporary result?
Yep
No
Ounce, the hair goes terminal it stays. But everyone different
Minoxidil on its own? Yes, because eventually your scalp will grow all the extra hairs it can. Minoxidil with proper DHT blocking? That is permanent or at least will last you until your senior years unless you do not respond well or aren't consistent.
Minoxidil will continue to work as long as you continue to use it. If the medicine is stopped, the benefits will be lost within a few months.
No, we have to have hair grow back, otherwise there is no point.
its to keep the hair you have, thats why you have to start before its too late

U must !!!!
I got my hairline, and beard in 3 months
How many beards did you get?
If you stop using minoxidil you will loose hair more than before. It happened to me .
This isn't true. You will lose any new hair you grew from minoxidil. Your hairloss won't be better or worse after.
....on average, you won't see results for 4 months. .....actual hair won't be seen until 4 - 9 months, or even a year. ....some thickening might be seen as early as 2 months. ....just stick with it, results are different for everyone. ......
"Just stick with it" Would be easy if it doesn't damage your fertility over time.
