Starting Finasteride and Minoxidil - Quite Terrified

Username925 · Dec 21, 2021

So I’ve gotten a prescription for both, but am quite worried about them. Has anyone had any great regrowth on them? My hair is going FAST and looks worse each day it seems. Will a 0.25mm derm roller help too? Thanks all. (28M)

At 28 that's not too bad and by all means wouldn't even consider your loss aggressive. I think you will maintain for a long time with finasteride alone. Looks like a good NW2 given your age and you're Caucasian. Most white guys lose hair to an extent and your loss is pretty mild.

I was considering just trying finasteride and seeing it if does anything. Still very self conscious about my loss so hoping I can slow it down
