Regular Member HelpfulFriend Posted March 9, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted March 9, 2021 Hey all, Been on Fin for about 5 years, and minox (oral) - and I've now started to lose a bit of ground. It really held it in check, but now the temporal recession has progressed a bit. I know that the meds don't completely stop the loss, but is it unwise to look at transplants if I'm going to lose ground on medication? Unsure what to do.

Senior Member TommyLucchese Posted March 9, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 9, 2021 Try topical dutasteride too or an Avodart pill once a week. I feel like I've kept up the meds' effectiveness over 11 years by taking regular breaks and not letting my body get too used to it. I stop taking it for a few months, lose some ground and then take it again and get the full results again. You could consider trying that. If it's only temporal recession then I don't think it's wise to get a HT. It's always worth consulting with some top doctors though, they can check for miniaturisation and give you some advice. 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result. Need crown sorted eventually but concealer works well for now. Propecia and minoxidil since 2010. Fine for 8 years - bad sides after switching to Aindeem in 2018. Switched to topical fin/minox combo from Minoxidil Max in October 2020, along with dermarolling 1x a week. Wrote a book for newbies called Beating Hair Loss, available on Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
