  1. I see i see. Guess i ll be happier with a harder boner than hair. I guess its all about the priorities
  2. Regarding fin side effect. There are some good evidence that ED can be almost permanent if not a very long lasting ED. (IF that happens). But what i am wondering is that, even though you dont have ED, it can still affect your sex drive and the hardness of your errection, even if its a 10% of reduction. Thats something i really dont want to play with, especially when i get older, getting an erection is just even bigger pain in the ass. I am 24 atm and have no issues with it. But what if i m 35+ on DHT blockers, there is no way it doesnt affect my errection even a tiny bit. That thing right there bothers me a bunch... I do understand there is a psychological aspect and placebo effect of ED in fin users, but its still something i wouldnt want to even think about it, especially when i grow older. Also one more question. What do people do when minox stop working? What do they switch to? Higher dosages?
  3. Fin is a very dangerous drug and it shouldnt be taken this lightly. You cant just get on that and be on it for the rest of your life. Just because most of the people tolerate it, it doesnt mean they dont have "weaker" errections, worsen mood or depression by some % etc. Surpressing DHT is not a game
  4. There are studies where men had good results with saw palmetto. My question was more directed towards why would it be safer than fin when they do the same thing to DHT? Maybe because its weaker?
  5. So i was searching for the finasteride alternative. I m not looking for a total hairloss stop. I just want to delay it as much as possible. By saying that i m not ready to take on risks of taking such drug as finasteride. Now what i m interested in, how is saw palmetto safer than finasteride if it works the same way by suppressing DHT? I ve even read that it helps your libido because it suppresses testosterone from converting to DHT (yet DHT helps libido so i m really confused ). I know that finasteride would be much more effective but i m looking for something that will minimize all the risks and slow down my hairloss since i still have a head full of hair and i m ready to start early on. Can anyone explain me what is the catch with Saw palmetto, it almost sounds too good to be true.
  6. Very informative reply, thanks. I was planning on getting Saw palmetto since i heard its all natural and much safer. I have 2 questions. I can choose between 0.5mm to 1.5mm needles. Which should i start with? Also, Saw palmeetto was meant to used topically? Should i focus on getting the topical version?
  7. You dont have to go through such sides. Sometimes just shaving the hair will do more for your mental health in the long run. You should not live under those side effects.
  8. Recently i ve made a home made shampoo from nettle mixed with vitamin D, olive oil and few more stuff. I was planning on buying a dermaroll too..I was wondering how effective is to fight thinning with natural products, how long will i be able to keep as many hair as possible? I m also having a really good diet, taking oral supplements Zinc, Vitamin D, magnesium.. I want to give it as much time as possible before i m forced to go minox. I m never gonna hop on fin, not gonna risk even 1% with it. There are plenty of evidence that it can screw you up really hard and hair is not worth that risk.. So how effective really are natural products?
  9. I know this was argued here 100 times but its worth talking about it. I see a lot of people saying "try it, if it gives you ED just stop it". In the research https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22789024 apparently majority of ED victims were left wit the long term ED. (96% of the subjects). This just makes me not want to risk it even if its in 1% of the consumers. There are a lot of other medications that do the same thing, but, risking sex life for some looks doesnt seem like a fair trade. What is your opinion on this?
  10. I will eventually lose my hair, which will be visible in my 30. Right now i m good, but this thinning should recover until i finally get bald from genetics? I mean, if my hair was destined to be here until my 30s, will that hair grow back?
  11. Hello everyone. I ve just returned home from 2 interventions, embolisation of the ear tumor and gamma knife. After the gamme knife, i had a bandage around my forehead and there was alcohol on the temples under the bandage. I ve noticed hair thinning in that area in particular. I was wearing it for 24hours and my hair wasnt washed for 8 days in total. Could it be the alcohol that gave me hairloss or the stress from the Gamma knife head frame itself?
  12. i m not looking for results in hair growth but the hair preservation. I still have a head full of hair but that wont be the case in the next 5 years lets say. Where is it safe to buy derma rollers? I saw on Ali Express a variety of them but i m not sure if they are safe
  13. Does micro needleing work on its own without minox?
  14. Where did you buy the needle thingy? Can it be effective on its own, without minox?
  15. Recently came across derma roller. How effective it is in slowing down balding? Is it doing anything to stop it, even if its just a bit of contribution on its own, without minox and fin? I was thinking about ordering one from ali express, but dont know what size of the needles should i take, it goes from 0.2 to 4mm
  16. Hello good people. I m ordering "Derma roller" from Ali express and i was wondering if there is an optimal or recommended pin size for it? Also, what are the other people's experience with derma rollers? Do they work or slow down the hairloss a bit without minox or fin? Cheers!
  17. What is your opinion on the laser caps? ( since your name is literally laser cap haha). Could i buy a laser cap instead of going to the clinic for laser treatment?
  18. I see your point and it also makes sense. What i could say i d do in 20 years is hair transplant. Thats a plan B. Plan c is to accept it and shave it if it gets too bald. Im gonna wait another 6 months and look back on my old photos. If there is a visible change i m either gonna hope 9n some of those medications or accept it. So your recommendation is propecia alone?
  19. Also i heard about minoxidil tolerance and it doesnt sound good. Reading all this makes me think losing hair isnt thst bad anymore. I might consider propecia but again, i dont like the idea of taking such hormon influencing medication for a long time. It kinda scares me to think i d need to take it forever even if i have no sides.
  20. Everything you ve just said makes sense. I have never read about laser therapy but it sounds good. How often you have to do the therapy? Is it effective by itself?
  21. Its not what i have now, the thing that worries me is what i will have in 6 years. I d like to save my hair at my 30s..
  22. Thank you for your detailed reply. What bothers me is that i am not ready to risk getting sides from dht blockers. I was thinking about using rogaine though but i m worried about taking it "too soon". I am still not sure if i want to commit on it and i heard stopping taking rogain can make hairloss faster. The thing is i am not sure what thick hairline looks like. I tried looking at my front hairline and it seemed to me thinner than the other parts of hair. My family balding was usually the crown first rather than temples. Can rogaine by itself help the situation? I reaaalllyyy dont wanna take propecia..i stopped taking creatine because of the dht boosting study. Should i give it another year before hopping on any kind of medication? As i previously mentioned, my hair didnt change noticable for the more than a year. But even for my brothers this is too soon. One of them lost hair at crown at 27 28. Its not hard for me to apply rogaine twice a day, but what if i m in a position where i cant do it for 2 days or more? I don't like being chained to a substance like that, it feels only like feeding my insecurities about hair. Is there any picture example of a thick front hairline so i can compare it?
  23. My father is completely bald, and one of my brothers had crown completely bald too. The 2nd brother didnt get bald, just thinned. I hope to win the gamble of genes like my uncle did. His hair is thin and you can see the scalp but kept a lot of hair in that age that i d be ok with. What bothers me is not how i look now, but how will i look in, lets say, 6 7 years. This is why i get stressed when i see my hair has thinned. I hope its thinning as slowly as possible. I wouldnt take dht blockers because i d like to keep my libido rather than my hair..i wouldnt gamble with that for sure. I was thinking about rogaine though. If i really get upset about my hair i might give it a chance. Also thank you for your time, means a lot
  24. My father and brother. The other brother kept his hair in 30s but it had thinning. My fathers brother is like 50 and still kept a lot of hair. My mothers side is all full with hair. So i guess its 50 50 for me. But i already have signs of thinning so i ll probably get fucked in 30s..
