Senior Member drmstx Posted January 27, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted January 27, 2010 Did anyone ever come across some before/after pictures of the effects of Rogaine/Minoxidil and Finasteride? Either on this forum or anywhere online? I am talking about just the results of the medications, without any HT performed on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member LeesHair Posted January 28, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted January 28, 2010 There are a couple although I can't find any atm having searched for them. Unfortunately I don't use Finasteride as well so I could be of any use there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member drmstx Posted January 28, 2010 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 28, 2010 I am just curious, because I have been on rogaine and propecia for almost a year now and the shedding has not really stopped. At this rate, I might have to go for 5-6 HTs, the thought of which is kinda scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member harley3296 Posted February 8, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted February 8, 2010 Here is my site,there are before and after photos of myself on Propecia and when I discontinued it, I have always been on rogaine ,so I cannot show you any pics of me without using rogaine.

It's possibly your hair loss is very agressive and in that case I don't think finasteride will work. You may want to amp it up to dutasteride. You'll see results with dut within the first 3-4 months, then they will go, then they will return, then they will go again BADLY and then they will return DENSE. Dut is king. Nuff said.

folko Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 rogaine doesn't really work for the front and middle area of a scalp right? Only the crown? Any point for me to be applying it to the middle and front or will it make matters just worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Rogaine will grow hair anywhere you apply it. Ofcourse it works in the middle and the hairline. Rogaine cant say it does because their studies used only the crown area. I had to tie a bandana around my forehead everytime I applied rogaine because I was growing hairs on my forehead because it always dripped down.

Regular Member HappyinSW Posted February 13, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted February 13, 2010 So DUT is way better than FINA? What about the vast increase in side effects due to far more inhibition of 5-AR enzymes and multiple forms of them over the FINA? And you say you lose, gain, lose, then gain well in the end? Strange progression. Same with FINA? I just started, as I had FUT this week. Minox worked great for me.

LOL. Are you sure you're not exaggerating a little there buddy? No I really don't have time to come here and bs with kids or exaggerate. I was growing small hairs on my damn forehead and right inbetween the areas of my temple and end of eye brow. If you do a little more research you will learn that there are a large number of people who've reported the samething, not just me. If you didn't know that about minoxidil, then you have a lot to learn. Minox is like the basics. Start applying minoxidil on a small area of your arm. Come back a few later and report the growth you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member drmstx Posted February 15, 2010 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 15, 2010 Thanks Einstein. Will talk to my fam. doc for DUT. About Rogaine growing hair in places other than the crown, I know there are people on this forum who swear by the fact that Rogaine helped them grow hair in the middle and front as well. I remember reading something to that effect here on this forum a few months ago. Unfortunately, Rogaine has not helped me at all, and also I lost more hair because of it.
