What Happens When You Restart minoxidil. Success.

[champpy]

Just another little update. Bald patches along each side of the forelock are filling in nicely. First pic is first day back on minoxidil, second pic is today, which is just over three months.

That's amazing man. Congratulations!

Just an update, as usual. First set of pictures includes right before I started back on minoxidil, which is probably the worst my hair has ever been, and now. Second set shows the same. You know the drill. It's been just under four months since I started back. I try my best to hit the same angles and lighting each time. Let me know if you guys want pics of any specific areas. (other than my dick)

WTF those are massive gains! You've basically gained 2 Norwood's with good density. Congrats!

I see you quoted the update before my most recent one. Did you see my pics from the seventh?

Your results have me dumbfounded. What is your entire regimen besides dutasteride and minoxidil?

 

[centurie]

Hey mate how long were you on minoxidil before your stopped for the first time? Also Hve you had any sides from dutasteride?

 

[michel sapin]

just some question; how long were you on propecia before dutasteride ? Were you a good responder to propecia ?
Does dutasteride give you better result ?
Apparently minoxidil give you the most of your regrow because you dropped it while being on duta ?
you didn't have puffy nipples or gyno because of duta ?

 

[bluemoon1212]

I was on finasteride for about nine or so months before dutasteride. Responded well do dutasteride and finasteride. No sides from either, other than a few scattered blemishes on my forehead. Nothing else in my regimen. I wounded a couple of times, but that's about it!

About a year or so

 

[bluemoon1212]

Since I'm responding so well to minoxidil, I've added a couple things that should help/strengthen the mechanism of its regrowth properties.

You always ask about the nipples.

Here's the thing, nobody has DOLLY PARTON sized boobs from Finasteride alone.

And, LIPOSUCTION is the safest way to remove breast fat. (TRUE FACT).

this is a well known side effect of dht inhibitor . tes increase = oestradiol raise . depending on the sensibility of people it can cause puffy nipples .

Impressive as f*** man, inspires me to hop on the minoxidil train especially since I'm a low Norwood it could help me keep what I have for the next year or so.

@bluemoon1212

In that first picture (post #22), it seems like your hair looks weak (less robust than non-balding hair). Do you notice a difference in the strength of your hair? Has it become more robust/stronger after 3 months of minoxidil usage?

(Update:
To make myself clearer, you're a diffuser. So without a doubt, you have noticed that at a specific point in time, it was getting harder to comb your hair in a specific style. The hair just didn't go in style anymore. Did minoxidil do anything for that?)

Probably much more than just a year lol. Some only start to go below baseline after a decade of using only minoxidil. All hope is not necessarily lost.

@eran Ive heard that too, but I cant seem to find any posts about it. Do you have any links from people reporting that?

Search for a username: "Warlord" that guy had massive knowledge about minoxidil. He left this forum years ago. He had been on minoxidil for over a decade if I recall correctly and was still above baseline. minoxidil results vary widely from individual to individual. In his posts (backed up by scientific articles) you can learn much more about minoxidil.

I was more referring to a year in the hopes that some of these new treatments hit the market in 2018 but if not keeping baseline for a decade would be nice as f***...

@Eren

Thanks, I took a look at few of his posts. Seems he maintained for 16 years until he started finasteride, and lost some ground. Encouraging, here are a few posts I dug up.

Which brand do you use? Is it 5% minoxidil?
