Pictures
Description
Hello team, I was looking to get some advice or input from the community.
The first 2 pics are before fin, and the last 3 are after 5 months on 0.25mg everyday. As you can see, there is some temple recession, and obvious thinning on the crown, and the density getting worse in the mid-scalp. (I have a double crown and the thinning is actually really bad, and looks worse IRL than in the pics)
I know its still early, but I was looking to get your thoughts.
Apologies for not having the same temple pics and slightly different lighting.
I have been on 0.25 mg finasteride every day for 5 months. I started at this dose to easy my body into it, and see if I could make progress before adjusting anything. I have never taken minoxidil.
Has anyone here started at a similar state, and saw progress from finasteride only? Especially those that started with less than the standard 1mg daily dose.
To be honest, the way I style my hair, if I could maintain on just finasteride I would be happy. Which is why I haven’t added minoxidil.
Would the community recommend I continue with my current protocol for 12 months and see if 0.25 can stabilize things? Would be great to hear from those that potentially started at a similar state and had good results with finasteride only.
Can I realistically expect to stabilize at this dose at my current state, and/or potentially see re-growth?
Any feedback appreciated. Thanks everyone.
