There is a lot of encouraging news these days for sure, but no company has completely convinced me that they can provide sideless maintenance without side effects. I still believe that if somebody can legitimately offer that, they might find themselves a monopoly.
People who get side effects from finasteride think that everyone gets them, but most people don't. They suffer from confirmation bias. Naturally if you're surfing HairLossTalk.com or pfs forums you will get the impression that everyone suffers side effects. You don't hear from the millions of men who take finasteride and never have a problem. We've had sideless maintenance for 90% of men for decades. I don't get side effects from finasteride and I maintain when I'm on it. If I had started taking it sooner I wouldn't be here
here I am with severe impotency at 0.25g/ml topical finasteride and estrogen levels of a trans woman. but I maintain, amazing. the great thing is, finasteride managed to elevate my estrogen without touching testosterone, it even lowered free T by a whopping 50% which is basically semi castration. however I won't say finasteride is a bad drug, some people genetics are just far too degenerate to even tolerate it a little bit
because you are both too lazy to read the studies and their design. and then you act as if its not rigorous enough. no study does the binary design. there is validated questionnaires to measure ED, those are used e.g to evaluate the efficacy of ED drugs, the effect of penile surgery or hormone replacement, the effect of prostate cancer surgery, neural disease on sexual function, the role of depression on sexual function, you must be totally uninformed if you think people have not thought of a better design than "do you have sexual dysfunction yes or no"? ever heard of "the International index of erectile function"? every major and serious finasteride study I have read has used this validated assessment that is used for all the other indications I listed above, most of them being serious medical conditions that require accuracy
there is countless of studies that use the best assessments that exist. for example the prostate cancer trial, the largest trial to exist. also most newer trials use the international index for Ed to measure and estimate the extent of ED. the rest is statistic, if you have a large sample size, even just the binary do you have ED question already says a lot, thats just how it works
You can get better results with just minoxidil .
Lol. Cammon, for most people minoxidil don't give side effects . And how do you know that this crap will not give you side effects ? Plus, it is not hair cloning, it is a none sense call it that way.
No one called it hair cloning. They are working on hair cloning too, but that's a different treatment. Have you even read the thread? Side effects have been discussed, I'm not answering the same question twice. Funny you say most people don't get side effects from minoxidil, because most people don't bet results either. Those who get results probably all get side effects to some degree, it's established that minoxidil upregulates pgf2a which is bad for your skin
. Even for the same drug one side effect can be 90% while another side effect is only 1%,the mechanism matters. Finasteride and minoxidil aren't the same, don't be stupid
man i'm sorry to annoy you but concerning the pc i sent you in pm o you think there is a good percentage of chance that hmi would allow me to get those hairs into terminal i need some hope? i'm desperate af lately. and you're 100000% right it must be why most ppl eny the minoxidil and collagn degradation as they are probably not responding at all. i'm a turbo responder and it destroys my face i don't want to stay on it more than 1 year i'm so tired of this sh*tStrong argument bro. Two different drugs, and while there is a threshold for hpa feedback there is no threshold for collagen production. Maybe you think the side effect rate for every drug is the same
Sorry, I meant to pm you before, absolutely I think the chances are good for that. You're in France I presume, so maybe you can get into the trial in the likely event that they have a location in Germany.
thanks man i needed some hope today if those vellus would turn terminal i would be back to Norwood 1 so i'm goin to stick with oral min a bit longer . i would love to try to get into that trial but i'm scared to even leave my home because of my ugliness so travelling to germany sounds like science fiction to me :/
Yes, I did. that is not even better than PRP . And they are selling they crap " product " with the excuse that they are working on hair cloning.
