Advice on Treatment Progress for M27 with Early Hairloss

Seeking advice on treatment plan/progress

I (M27) caught my hair loss pretty early and started treatment in early 2024. I did jump around a bit to starts but I’ve been consistent with my current plan for a little over a year now. My treatment process/changes have been:

Topical fin/min combined treatment from Hims - February to August, 2024

Transitioned to only 1mg oral fin every day, dropping min entirely, from August to present

Added 0.5mg oral dut twice a week (Monday/Friday), from March 2025 to present.

I appear to have no results; like I said, I caught my hairloss very early (Norwood 1-1.5). I am now more or less at a Norwood 3, which I conceal with hair fibers and styling to look more like a Norwood 1.5-2. I don’t feel as though my hairloss has slowed. I appear to be thinning more aggressively on the left side of my hairline, and the hair appears to still be thinner behind the frontal scalp section. I can confirm I have visibly continue to lose hair and continue thinning, though the actual shape of my hairline remains generally intact.

I plan to add oral min 2.5mg oral min daily starting this weekend. I’d have gone back on it earlier but I was trying to prevent further loss before I did.

Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated. I’ve also attached a photo taken recently with slightly damp hair and a photo from around when I first started treatment for comparison.

You’re on a solid regimen with oral fin and dutasteride, which blocks DHT effectively. Adding oral min could help boost results since it’s more potent than topical. Consider microneedling weekly to enhance absorption. Progress can be slow, so it might take up to a year to see changes. Keep consistent and monitor for any adverse effects.
