Description

Hi all,

I have been following this site and the reddit forum for about a year now, and decided to start treatment myself. I have the following plan:

  • Once a day 0.5/1 mg Finasteride
  • Once a day microneedling with 0.3 mm needles
  • Twice a day Topical Minoxidil foam (Regaine)
  • Twice a week Ketoconazole shampoo (Ketozolin 2%)
  • Once a week Piroctone olamine shampoo (Sebamed)

I am still struggling with a few questions, maybe you guys have an answer for me.

  • Is this an effective treatment? What would you change?
  • Would you go for 0.5 mg or 1 mg Finasteride? I’ve read that 0.5 mg is just as effective.
  • Is there still hope for me? Or did I start too late? (see picture)
  • What effects do you guys expect?
  • Does anyone have any experience with Piroctone olamine? The Tressless GPT bot recommended it to me.

I will give you monthly updates and am looking forward to talk about your journeys. Thank you!

Go for 1mg fin, DO NOT microneedle everyday, you shouldn’t microneedle to begin with unless you are poor responder to minoxidil, the rest is fine. You still have hope to have decent enough hair
