Great Results Using Microneedle finasteride minoxidil

That's good to hear. I would like to try it out soon too. I have also ordered some other meds for it from eDrugStore.com, and I think they might work pretty well for me too. I would like to get any other tips from you here, thank you in advance, guys!

This seems to be true with "male" meds. I am uncertain whether it is true for XY's using HRT "just for the hair". My regrowth only began substantially around the age of 55 and now I am 56. I might just be an outlier. The other thing is that we speak of baldness genes but perhaps there are hair regrowth genes that help some achieve regrowth while others spin and spin with no changes. For guys, part of this probably has to do with sulferotransferase helping minoxidil work better but there could be other factors as well.
The differences in sebum levels probably is important. I never noticed finasteride/Duta/min to lower sebum levels or to improve hair quality. I only had maintenance. I do think that oral min is a game-changer for many.

Without a question you're one of the outliers, very lucky but you also stayed diligent and determined. I agree oral minoxidil is a game changer but it would have been "the" game changer had the side effects been tolerable or minimal for most. Perhaps the secret lyes in low doses. Maybe a low dose over a longer interval would work rather than high dose with quick results but only to have to get off due to the sides.

I actually did long, slow and extended tapering upwards on estrogen trying to find a non-feminizing sweet spot and I failed at this. It appears that Estrogel all over the scalp is the top treatment in that it might have localized effects on DHT but its main effects are likely due to the Estrogel going systemic. So, unfortunately for XY's depending upon point of view, it appears to me that you have to use enough Estrogel to commence not just marginal breast growth but full-blown feminization.
That's why it is important to note that while it's only recently that most of us can easily get HRT meds, the issue continues to be the same. HRT can work but after 100 years or so since estrogens were lab-identified, the hindrance is that you pretty much have to take the feminization to get the hair. Now Serms and cycling are still in their infancy related to hair restoration, so they might be paths for guys who can't tolerate the possibility of breast growth, but in many ways, estrogenic feminization is a mental/psychological process. Potency does go down even if we can train ourselves still to be able to "top". Bridgeburn said that he still could. I cannot but topping is not my goal as I am a pacifist sexually.
