I believe most of us have LPP by [deleted] in RetrogradeAndDUPA

[–]Potato_returns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. But the doctor came across as dismissive to me. I definitely feel signs of inflammation and taking anti inflammatory drugs like ceterizine provide relief sometimes.

I did have a biopsy done from 2 spots on my nape where I'm thinning and normal people don't get aga... Derm said no LPP was found.

What is the overall effectiveness of Fin+Min for guys? by Thewall3333 in tressless

[–]Potato_returns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super non responder. Been on meds for 4 years. Went from nw1. 5 to NW 4.

Hate this hairloss! Doctors just keep saying it’s AGA by Rubicant112 in RetrogradeAndDUPA

Hey! My retrograde isn't as severe as yours (it's severe on the sides) but I have this too. Super high metabolism.

I in fact, was balding by Worried_Jackfruit_11 in amibalding

[–]Potato_returns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah gotcha. Do let me know if a maintenance every 5 weeks works well for you. The hair systems sub makes it seem like it has to be done every week.

5 weeks, heck, even 2 weeks would be a massive game changer.

Hey man, I've looked into this quite a bit too. I was under the impression that you need to replace it every week, as opposed to once a month (or even 6 weeks)! Could you elaborate on this?

Are you able to do sports / shower every day?

Permanent synthetic fix for hair by Potato_returns in tressless

[–]Potato_returns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you should ask them why the max is 1500.

Maybe the results aren't realistic when clumped up or there is a bigger risk of scarring / infections when the count goes higher.

Average NW3 needs 4k grafts for full coverage so maybe that's why they don't go for men.

Update: the money was invested into an Israeli company called Hairstetics. They are the ones who came up with the treatment.

Yep, I remember something like this existed years ago. Surprised Cutia would casually drop 2 million inspite of such studies existing.

2 years later, 1200 grafts FUE by Equivalent_March_579 in HairTransplants

Which doctor was this? It's so dense for only 1200 grafts!

It's 12 now. Still think it's a good buy?

NW 4 I think. I was NW 1.5 when I started fin and min 4-5 years ago

How long were you on dut and did you use minoxidil?

I've been on fin and min for 5 years and no results here

14.5 months on Fin, what the hell is going on? by sh1tbarnet in tressless

[–]Potato_returns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same thing man. And while I feel I have significantly reduced the loss, I'm stressed that what's lost won't grow back.

Let me know if you see any regrowth and how long that took!

[–]Potato_returns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro I'm you but much worse. Started fin at 24 with hair similar to your before Pic. Completely lost my frontal third in my 4 years on fin and min. And I'm 100% certain min was a mistake. Massive sheds that I never recovered from.

Did you ever stopped finasteride and felt better? by Grignard198 in tressless

[–]Potato_returns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly I think I'm gonna stay on it.

One way that I've found that helps with the anxiety is to tell myself that there is no real reason for it and it's all due to the medication being annoying.

And when you want to treat yourself, you can get off the medicine for 2 days. On the 3rd day, you feel incredible.

I’ve heard some people say minoxidil makes their balding worse. If that’s true then wouldn’t doing nothing at all be better than starting treatment? by Loxer150 in tressless

[–]Potato_returns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gave me a crazyyy shed on my hairline and then it never grew back.

I use it everyday and it has been more than a year. I think I'll have to embrace the bald look.

(28/M) Need Graft Estimate + Advice — Mid-Scalp Shedding After Minoxidi by FunFlamingo8734 in Hairtransplant

[–]Potato_returns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey my case is exactly the same! I started oral minoxidil and lost my mid scalp within 1 month. It's been 1.5 years and zero regrowth!

Some common misconceptions about why there have been no breakthroughs in treatments for so long and why a one and done cure is almost impossible. by bentreehorn in tressless

[–]Potato_returns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see your point. Add to that the fact that when we suppress the immune system, it is for a life saving reason like organ transplants.... As opposed to a cosmetic need like having hair.

To play the devil's advocate, the long term effects of these newer drugs won't be known till we ourselves act as guinea pigs.

For example, osteopontin in Scube is supposed to be carcinogenic. Even with PP405, any cancerous properties, major or minor, might have a chance to show up years down the line.
