I keep using 15%minoxidil, topical finasteride 1%, dermaroller, nizoral and some other stuff still without any results. And sheeding goes on.
My timeline is:
Feb 2018 minoxidil 6% +dermaroller + perilla and other anti-inflamatory stuff
June 2018 added topical finasteride 0.5% (Essengen)
July-August 2018 went to minoxidil 15% and topical finasteride 1% (Dualgen)
Recently I have started to try local cryotheraphy (local freezing)
If I see any results, I well definetely let you know.
11 months and counting, the last 6 months has shown a very slow progress and there's a lot of vellushairs and very few of them converted to terminal hair.
all in all i am happy that there is progress, just wish i started the medication earlier in my life.
will keep up the treatment for another year and hope that i will be able to convert more to terminal hairs so i can grow it a little longer
The wrinkled skin is probably the result of 10 % minoxidil, it inhibits collagen production. Maybe it would be a good idea to use the 5 or 3 % formula instead and add dermarolling to restore skin's elasticity.
Anyway, amazing results. I ordered the 3 % version, because 5 % minoxidil (twice a day) gave me bad side effects when I tried it many years ago (chest pain, eye twitching, dry skin and scalp itching).
