Why? I was told by the doctor to do 3X a week since according to him the levels of DHT being suppressed is no that much of a difference. I just don't know if I'm going through a shed or if I'm actually losing more ground while on 3 mg a week as opposed to 7 mg a week.
Lmao your doctor practices bro-science.

What your Doctor said and the way he prescribed it was correct, but that doesn't necessary mean that its the correct dose for you, its just a gentler way of prescribing it to a new user and is often enough, but it might not be the best dose for a diffuse thinner. You will find after time many people settle on their own custom dose based on what works for them, so whether you stay on 3x a week or move to 7x a week is your call.

Ah yes, I misread that. And I agree with you regarding the fake safety feeling diffuse thinning gives people which most times they only notice it if they cut their hair really short or they take a photo with damp/wet hair with room lighting directly above.

If you've been fortune not to any side effects on Finasteride, then continue, I know the sheds can be brutal. You might only see improvement at the 1 year mark. And based on your hairloss you need to be on some sort of treatment.

Your doctor actually advised you correctly by telling you to only use Finasteride 3 times a week, many doctors don't do this. You don't need to be using it any more than that since it will still be in your system and overly using Finasteride will just make it more likely for you to get sides.

Seriously try to get onto some other types of treatment as well, since hairloss is complex and requires a multi-faceted approach to combat it.

Throw in Minoxidil oral tablets if you can since I've heard more people report better results than using topical Minoxidil. Plus using topical Minoxidil or topical anything is a tedious task to do daily, twice a day. Oral medication is so much easier.

For best results combine all the above mentioned with micro-needling.

You just need to maintain till 2023 when Kintors Pyrilutamide or Breezula is released. Those will probably do a much better job at fixing your hair.

Then Kintor is also releasing another hair loss treatment which is an AR degrador called GT20029 after that. But it might be a few years after Pyrilutamide is released before we see GT20029 as Phase 1 trials in China has only started a few days ago. Fortunately, the process to market a drug and trial process is much quicker in China, so once its released to market there you can ship it to wherever you are.

I know how depressing this sh*t can get but what gives me hope is that there's a lot of treatments in the pipeline and will be much better than everything we currently have.

Kintor, Breezula, mRNA, Gene Editing Therapy, Turn Biotechnology and possibly David Sinclair ;)

Thank you so much for the reply man. I just made 4 months today and I was really wondering if I should be getting on a higher dosage. I will consider Minoxidil foam since oral minoxidil I've heard can cause even more body hair also and I think I'm good in the dept. lol

Again, thanks so much for the info.

You're welcome. Remember, body hair can always be shaved, but it's far better to get hair growth on your scalp via an easier method like oral Minoxidil when you realize just how tedious it is to apply Minoxidil twice a day, every single day, without missing a day.

Keep us posted on your progress after at least 4 months after you start Minoxidil
