Man I would love for it to be okay. I don’t know if I should just jump for it and order. Kind of my last hope regarding to maintaining meds…

Also I have just found this: https://www.minoxidilmax.com/topical-dutasteride-without-minoxidil-Duderma which is quite cheap and shipped to Europe. What are your thoughts on this?

Okay I understand. And what about the dosage and frequency of use?

Hello, I have just found a website called hemiacosmetics and they sell topical dutasteride (Dutagen 50ml, 0.1% dutasteride, 1mg of dutasteride in 1ml of the liquid). I would like to ask you if you know this seller and how often should this be applied to maximise positive effects while minimising risk of side effects (I had sides on low dose of oral fin).

Also I would like to ask, if there is a typical regimen regarding topical dut. I am curious if it is alright to use it for example just once/twice or three times a week and not everyday.

Well I am not really in a situation where I could evaluate how I will manage financially in the future. I’m sure though that the first round would be very fine. I have got some quotes from some surgeons before and it was around 3000-3500€. And they were recommended surgeons on this forum. But the idea to have a better hairline (I’m not saying I want classic Norwood 1, I just want to strengthen my current one, not necessary lower it) is really appealing to me.

I’d be very happy to be able to take finasteride. I have tried three times and it just didn’t work for me. Where do you think I could get topical dut in Europe for a good price. Oral minoxidil is very expensive so I cant really add something that expensive to my portfolio right now I really like your take on having the nice hairline now and to settle for a worse condition in 10-20 years but majority of this forum doesn’t agree with that so I’m on the verge here

And are there any other opinions on when at soonest could I get a small restoration done? Just to strengthen my hairline and temples. I have heard and read everywhere that the threshold is around 25yo and now I’m already 24…

No I have not but I’ve heard that if someone gets sides on oral there’s I high probability the same happens with topical. And also my living situation would not allow me to put it on my hair every day

I mean you don’t have to tell me you see a non-balding head. I have been living with this hair for quite a long time and I could see parts of it just go away so😂. However, I would like to know how much time (at least approximately) I have in this current state. And if it is wise to stop oral minoxidil even if I can’t take finasteride. maybe some advice how to overcome the sides and go on it again

I tried it at last but I still thought something was wrong

Well to be honest my erections were so much softer than before. Even after taking just 0.5mg

Hello lads, I am almost 24 and my current and past hair situation can be seen in photos below. First 5 photos were taken today (red shirt) and other photos were taken 2-3 years ago. I would like to know your opinion on how much time you think I have before my crown goes away (also other parts but I just recently noticed the crown is thinner). I tried taking finasteride three times but every time I got unbearable sides so I stopped pursuing. I have been taking oral minoxidil for over a year now (2.5mg 5x a week) but I am thinking about stopping because I have not noticed any improvement (I believe the noticeable difference in my front is due to a new barber who cuts it in a way for it to be even) and it is quite expensive. What are your opinions guys? When could I have a little procedure done? How much time do you think I have left with my crown and temples? any insights are gratefully welcome. cheers

What if I can’t tolerate finasteride? When would be the time to have the first procedure done?

So you’re basically saying that taking 0.05mg would be still effective in preventing further loss? If that is the thing, I will have to find a way to get it in that dose ASAP since I cannot even tolerate 0.5mg three times a week

well, softer erections to be honest…

Yeah definitely I have been reading this a lot but the thought of having to apply some topical each and every day is really not possible for me…

.

Hello lads, does anyone here, who had side effects on finasteride switched to dutasteride side effects free? Cause I am having minor side effect (just one) on finas even low dose so I need to find an alternative to be able to have a procedure in future. Thnks

and what about this conservative design? With the minimum amount of grafts possible? Would it also be dangerous?

Here are the photos.

Well definitely I know I have a hair loss problem, advanced hair loss though. People who say my hair is perfect, though it’s comforting, should take a look at my old photos from past threads on my profile. I know the surgery might be very risky at the age of 24-25 but honestly, I cannot imagine how my life will look like without it cause I’m honestly starting to be afraid of summer due to the continuous sun shining and revealing my baldness. Do you think that maybe only a small procedure without any hairline lowering like in the picture with black lines attached could be possible? With the minimum amount of grafts possible? btw, the picture is from approximately two years ago when I cut my hair short and I’m sure my hair loss advanced from that stage. here I am also attaching a link to my previous thread with other photos of my hair from past:

Well these are very comforting words thanks

When I style it carefully, I can somehow hide the balding. However, under a harsh light as you can see (might as well be sun also) my temples are standing out so much. In the dark it’s usually fine. But your opinion about my balding is not correct sorry (I would be very happy if it was) but you can take a look on my older threats where I have shared photos from approximately two years ago, and you can see the balding there (I had shorter hair then).

Thanks Gatsby. Normally, after what I have learned here, I would never think about having the procedure before 25. Just when dr Freitas suggested it I thought he probably knows what he’s talking about. Not sure anymore :)
