Thanks Alex ❤️
I like Propecia and took Propecia for years, but I switched to generic Finasteride but it did not work for me. I switched back to Propecia, it’s the Cadillac of the hair loss preventive pills. That works best for me.
just awesome lighting here make more videos like this area only
How to identify if my hair loss is from scalp inflammation??? Ihave pretty much receded on both of my temples and diffuced thinning allover my scalp .. ples help.
Great video Alex. You mention that you don't feel oral Minoxidil works aa well as topical. Is that common for alot of people that you've worked with over last few years? Can you estimate % of people who respond better to topical Min vs oral Min? Also for someone who isn't responding to generic Dutasteride, would you recommend oral brand name Finasteride or topical Finasteride?
From what I have seen oral minoxidil works great for those who are young and take high amount of it and don't have any underlying problems left to adress. Problem is that often taking high amount increses risk for sides.
Yes, for some finasteride works better then dutasteride. Both topical and oral work well. Oral may be better for someone with high dht sensetivity
Alex I had been losing hair since 13 years old.I am now 17 years old . I was losing hair because of vitamin d . It was 13.28 and it had now increased to more than 50 .is it possible to grow hair after 4years or I need to use microneedling
Pls reply😢
Yes, it's possible becouse you are still young. Make sure that your diet is good and you have enough protein and no other conditions or nutritional defincines (example folate, iron, b vitmains, etc)
@@SomebodyAlex thanks bro♥️♥️♥️
Did you experience any shedding when switching from 1 mg to 0.5? 1mg works well for me but I'm considering switching to 0.5 to reduce side effects and that worries me. what is your advice ? thanks
No, for me it was fine. But it can depend on the quality of the finasteride. For example micordosing propecia is usually fine, but some generic finasteride may not be as effective when microdose
@@SomebodyAlex Thanks for your answer. I have been using propecia for 15 months and it is working well for me now I have reduced the dosage to 0.5 (due to some side effects) and hope I don't lose my gains
how is it going now?@@kerembicer8635
Hello Alex. I have a question regarding your consultation schedule. Do you do consultations on weekends aswell? Your calendar would seem to suggest so. I went ahead and scheduled a consultation anyway for today but the meeting still didn't start a long time into the call. I believe there may have been some sort of a misunderstanding, either on my side with the contact details or in the calendar on your website.
I will check it up as it's my team member who does meetings as I'm on vacation
Hello Alex, are you still using finasteride 0.5 mg from the manufacturer propecia?
Yes
Hey alex,
I use micro-needling for topical absorption only then after 8 hours of applying it i use clay to remove excess oil on scalp daily , that help me a lot to get rid of oiliness and shedding stops, i live in North Africa and there is hot weather especially in summer so it's hard to remove oil completely.
Should i continue with this routine ?
Yes, it should be fine. I was also using a lot clay back in the day as my scalp also was very oily.
How much i wait for oiling my scalp after using minoxidil
Depends on oils but minoxidil needs 4 hours to fully absorb with a regular formulation
@@SomebodyAlex it's rosemary oil
@@Stay_and_see_life still have good space between both so they don't interfer. Ussually application time for rosemary is shorter so it can for ex be applied before hair wash
Hi sir,i take finas 1mg daily and after a week i have side effect,what should i do for that,my pattern baldness start from my age 16 and now i 20 years. before i take finas i consume saw palmeto for 3 month but can't see any improvement my temple get more wide.please help me sir
In some cases microdosing can be better in terms of side effects. Even as low as 0.25 mg has effect on serum DHT. Other valid option is topical finasteride which is ussually affecting serum DHT less
hey alex whats your oppinion on creatine? does it cause someone to loose hair? thanks
I have more shedding if I take creatine, but I know several guys who are okay with it
@@SomebodyAlex seems like im the same way, if i take it shedding starts
Hey, I'm using minoxidil once a day
Is that ok to turn it twice a day to improve results..?
Yes, 5% version is ussually prescribed as x 2 times a day application
do u know any thing about dutasteride ?cause im using it for 3 months cause sometimes finasteride not available
Yes, I made a video about it: ua-cam.com/video/9o0ERegsYMk/v-deo.htmlsi=eyJZkIROCtrjKLFL
Hey Alex i’m planning to transition from oral minoxidil 1.5mg to topical minoxidil 5% after 2 months of use for Male pattern hairloss. Can I use both at the same time for a couple of months to see results?
Switching to topical minoxidil from oral is usually fine and shouldn't cause shedding unless your follicles are weak or there are scalp problems.
Yes, some in my program do use both. For example this guy: ua-cam.com/users/shortslANCbq_vFXw?si=nr0OtfKm3U6TFJOH he also plans over time ti just do topcial
In your case when baby hairs are visible i am using finastride for almost 63 days no baby hairs seen
Finasteride is a not a "growth stimulant" and works different then for example minoxidil
Your videos are amazing. I really like it. I am a new subscriber to your channel. Can I talk with you Alex?
Alex I think you titled the video wrong -- Maybe you meant to say "generic finasteride" ? It says "genetic."
Thanks!
My dermatologist said that there are NO research papers indicating that Propecia is better than generic finasteride.
In general according to Harvard study there can be a difference: www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/do-generic-drugs-compromise-on-quality#:~:text=In%20order%20to%20get%20a,ingredient%20from%20that%20original%20formula.
@@SomebodyAlex I understand that and no research indicates that Propecia is better than generic finasteride. Anything else is speculation.
@@kayumochi yes, but I'm not going to risk it
Hey alex I'm taking dutastride for 1.5 years now but I'm shedding again now is it normal? Synchronize shedding? Or what please let me know your suggestion
Shedding can accord but if it's just cycle then it shouldn't go past 2-3 weeks
Hello Alex , I want to stop finasteride to reset hormones and do a dht test and then I will take Finasteride again and check dht levels to ensure that my pills are working , my question when should I stop finasteride before the first test ?
DHT levels after stopping with finasteride increase quite fast (unless there are hormonal unbalances which is rarer) so in 6-8 weeks levels should be back to baseline. If you take test before stopping with finasteride levels should be below 50-70% for serum DHT
Hi brother i want to know if i stopped minoxidil for 2 3 months and then i start it again will shedding phase also start over i started it having shedding phase
Yes, there likley will be shedding phase unless you tap it down over time and have been applying for a long time
Sir I am 18 and started taking finastride which dosage will best for me I have full head of hair my my temple are started to thin
Depends on your DHT sensetivity. But microdosing should work in early stages of hair loss
Alex, what should be done to make finasteride effective for many years?
By working on factors that reduce DHT sensetivity (lifestyle habits, diet, etc)
@@SomebodyAlex Alex, what should I do to reduce DHT sensitivity?
@@abidindagc8574 bad diet, stress, unhealty lifestyle, toxins, gut problems, etc all increse your DHT sensetivity and if you want to reduce it then you need to improve those variables
Do you still take it daily even now when u regrew all hair back..is it possible to take every second day after success
Yes, I take it daily.
Hii Alex , I'm loosing my Overall Hairs From Last 2-3 years Not only hairline or crown but entire Scalp Now From past 3 months I've improved my diet a little and taking vit d pills and shaved my head now 1 month later I'm Still Loosing hairs but Hairs which are falling out Are 85-90 % of same Size of almost 2-3 mm only while My hairs are almost A inch longer Is it A Good sign As I'm not loosing hairs which Are longer and also I'm only taking vit d And Still Not Taking other Nutrients plz tell me.
Taking blood tests would be first step not just vitamin d but others as well such as folate, b12, iron/ferratin, zinc. If your vitamin d levels where low to begin with then it can take 1-3 months to get them up to normal range. Type of hair that are shedding is less important until you have more date about nutriant status, etc
@@SomebodyAlex Ohhk, Thanks for reply
no, it's actually a bad sign. your hair is minituarizing, you are going bald. you need to get on treatment.
@@rexneedsoxygen7140 buddy my hairfall was 70-80 a day 2 months back And from The Overall Hairs falling out 6-8 hairs were generally thinner now Hairfall is limited to 30-40 but almost 80-90% hairs are just tiny length but Not thinner where the thinned hairs are only 3-4 and are of normal Length .
The thing is now Hairfall Is controlled and if exclude Those Little thick hairs falling almost 8-10 strands are falling in a day . Please tell me if there is prblm.
The thing is I also Have Scalp pain While moving hairs if you can Give any tip for that
The follow up interview with Julien is not coming is it?
Well, it's up to Julien when he is ready for another interview
@@SomebodyAlex It would really help the channel proving how well the program works as he is a great example. Considering he was so enthusiastic in the last interview, i’d be suprised he wouldn’t be excited to show us his latest results. Could you ask him to do another interview?
@@doodgeslagenmug yes, agree. I have asked Julien few times but he wanted to wait for peak results

Dr dikhao bhai .
I have been taking finasteride for only a week at a dose of 1.25 mg 3 times a week and I started to feel slight pain in my testicles. Should I continue or stop?
I also had it. It started from secound week and lasted for 2 weeks after gradually went away. During that time even went to doctor as I was consern about it and back then I was not aware that finasteride could cause it
@@SomebodyAlex so it's not a dangerous side effect ?
Hi brother, how many days in a week you are doing head bath with shampoo?
I do it daily
@@SomebodyAlex I'm using mild shampoo only but I feel like I'm getting white hair because of usage shampoo.
@@mallikarjunareddy6122 hmm, maybe it does contain chemicals. In RRF workbbook I have listed all the ussual chemicals to look out for in terms of shampoo
Hey Paul where Can u take The dht test
My name is not Paul. Endocrinologist or regular doctor can help with DHT test
What supplements do you take ?
I take quite a lot of supplements, but I cycle them during the year. Supplementation depends on my diet, detox, underlying conditions etc. I have added full strucutere in RRF workbook
Do you still dermarolling everyday? or less? your hair looks darker in this video
Yes, I do microneedling now 5 times a week (just light rolling)
@@SomebodyAlex Did you already tried to stop micronnedling? do you lose the gains? i know you tried to stop min one time and lost gounds, but microneedling?
@@didierdunca yes, I have stopped with microneedling for longer time several times (1-3 months) no it didn't affecr my gains
Bro do you have any hair transplant or you have recovered all your hair from medication.
No, I have not done HT and a year ago DR William Rassman (Surgeon) analyzed my hair recovery in his blog stating that my hair has recovered from the treatment. Here is the link: baldingblog.com/on-finasteride-for-12-years-photo/
@@SomebodyAlex Oh great brother.
Why doesn't hair transplant work?
Hair transplant can work well if underlying conditions are solved and hair loss is not progressing
Did you move to a new place?
Yes, I changed my apartment. I still few more vidoes recorded in previous place but moving forward this is my new location
how many ml minoxidil do you use
Now around 1 ml, before when I was filling in my hair I did 1.8 ml
@@SomebodyAlex ty
Tell the truth Please, did you take Hair transplant 🥺🙏 . Please tell me the truth. So that I could trust the medicine 💊
No, I have not done a hair transplant and a while ago DR William Rassman (Hair transplant surgeon) analyzed my hair recovery in his blog stating that my hair had recovered from the treatment. Here is the link: baldingblog.com/on-finasteride-for-12-years-photo/
It’s pretty obvious he hasn’t. In videos from around december to January, you can see his temples are thinner because of setback in treatment. If one has a hairtransplant, hair does not recede/thin in temples in mpb pattern. Another way to tell is that Alex has that typical full head of hair density that is impossible to obtain in hair transplantation.
So all Finasteride are the same right?
In general according to Harvard study there can be a differences in generic medication: www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/do-generic-drugs-compromise-on-quality#:~:text=In%20order%20to%20get%20a,ingredient%20from%20that%20original%20formula.
