  • Many patients wonder if it is worth it to start minoxidil for their hair loss. A common misconception is that minoxidil is only helpful in the crown. Dr. Josephitis of Shapiro Medical Group talks about the uses of this familiar medication.

    Take low-dose minoxidil. I take 1.25 mg. My dermatologist emphasized low doses for it to work. I had low expectations.
    Boy was I wrong. The combination of Minoxidil and Propecia is a winner. It works. Period.

    Finasteride will make the testicles very painful. Facial hair will become thinner too. Weakens your voice too making it difficult to sing higher notes. Side effects makes it not worth the risk.

    Hi Dr. Great videos, very helpful since I just had my FUE Transplant. Quick question for you, would it be safe to use Finasteride with creatine? If creatine can increase rate of DHT, would finasteride negate this?
    Thank you!

      Creatine doesn't affect hair unless you somehow produced more testosterone thru exercise. The effect would be almost zero.

      This is a common concern I hear from patients. I always tell them these medications are used to help keep you from losing hair. As long as you are using it you are holding back hair that would be lost anyway. When you stop taking it, yes, you will start to lose hair. It may be at a slow or fast rate. Everyone is different. This is all hair that you would have lost had you not taken the meds in the first place.
      I give the analogy of brushing your teeth daily. Sure it is not fun, and if you are doing it right, you won't get any cavities. You also have to do it for the rest of you life. The minute you stop brushing regularly though you will stop benefiting and will start tooth decay.
      The same is true of hair loss meds. They work only as long as you use them.

      I use oral minoxidil for scalp hair loss, and it works. I was hoping it would give me a thicker beard, but I unfortunately didn't notice any difference with my beard hair. But I am OK with that because my lack of scalp hair is what bothers me the most. I'm also on dutasteride, which I'm sure is effective at preventing further hair loss.
