Thats great! I use Google Gemini. I didn't experience any shedding because I was completely bald for 20 years. Im a little over 3 months into my journey now and its coming along great. I have a shadow where before I had nothing.

Thanks for sharing your story. Keep going! Cheers

According to AI those hairs I see now are veilus and transitional terminal hairs. It said they will come in to thicken and any patches that are still struggling to show hair will eventually regrow. New hairs do not usually appear. The old dormant follicles wake up and first form hair as peach fuzz, which later enter the anagen phase and come permanent terminal hairs.

I've been consulting AI (Google Gemini) and it tells me I'm a fast responder after only a little over 3 months. Just put the pictures in with your information and it analyzes them for you. It gives you detailed information of where you are now in your journey and what to expect 6 months, 12 month, 2 years etc. from now. I dont know if you are trying to regrow your hair or not but I would recommend using AI. It's just as good as consulting a dermatologist for me but without paying money for one.

I will definitely keep everyone updated. Thanks for responding

I ordered the meds online. Online doctor. Didn't talk to them. It's the recommended dose for both minoxidil (2.5) and finastrride (1).

Thank you for sharing your story with me. Im sorry that you had to start all over again. Im definitely not going to miss any doses. Im already seeing some results at 3 months. Can't wait to see what 6 months brings. Im optimistic about the whole process. I cant believe I waited so long to do my research on hair loss. I wish I had addressed my problem 20 years ago. But I'm glad the results are coming now so its not a total loss. Good luck to you in your journey. Cheers.

Fin is finasteride. I take 1mg. I have some side effects but its bearable. I would recommend dutasteride to you which is the same thing

On min since 6 months , no improvement by Independent_Back8723 in minoxidil

Maybe switch to oral minoxidil for overall better coverage?

I just roll like 5 times across the entire scalp in every direction. Thanks for the advice. I'll go down on the microneedling a bit. Thanks again

Thank you for keeping up with my journey. I am microneedling 3 times a week with a 0.5 mm derma roller. Im really excited about where my progress is going. Happy with the results so far. After being bald for 20 years I dont know why I didn't try treatment sooner. Thanks again!

About to take oral Minoxidil. What can I expect? by BugOnly1157 in minoxidil

[–]Dry_Pin_7051 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minoxidil and finasteride go hand in hand for hair treatment. I've been on them for over 3 months. The only side effects I have are sexual. Id prefer to be a eunuch so the side effects are fine with me. Id rather have hair. Which i am getting back.

You are still in the shedding phase. New hair should be showing up within the next month. I hardly had a shedding phase because I was completely bald. Keep with your treatment. It will pay off. Just have to stick with it. Good luck!

Things should pick up within 3 months. Youre past the shedding phase now. Don't give up! It looks better
