Regular Member BlokeFromStoke Posted November 9, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) After starting finasteride, minoxidil/retinoid, stemoxydine and microneedling. I have what appears to be vellus hairs on the temples could they become terminal?? Or is that a vast overreach?? 1st pic 19th Oct temples 2nd pic 5th of Nov temples 3rd pic zoomed out. Is 7th-7th I got the date wrong 4th crown showing colourless hairs which makes me wonder if temples are vellus or just fair in colour too? Hair loss history. Early 20s 20/21/22 was already heavily receded (think Jude law but thickness intact) stayed till around 2018, I went on SARMS(stupid I know) but after massive thinning,slight gyno and gaining ≈13kg(26lbs). I believe they were more likely relabeled steroids. 2019/20 took voluntary redundancy, and went back to uni during lockdown with all the involved stress. So I don't know, if it will be a different recovery than those naturally losing hair🤷🏻♂️? Late September 2021 started full routine Edited November 9, 2021 by BlokeFromStoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted November 9, 2021 Valued Contributor Share Posted November 9, 2021 That photo of you before and after between 7/10/21 and 8/11/2021 is incredibly encouraging. Even more so because you are talking about a time frame of only four weeks. i would expect to see this in a responder at 6 months. My opinion is that you should continue with this for at least another 6 months and share your updates on a monthly basis here on the forum. Only by documenting in this way can you tell how great a response you will achieve.

Regular Member BlokeFromStoke Posted November 12, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 12, 2021 Update... Off to see the trichologist tomorrow, so as you do, inspect every inch of your scalp in the run up🤣🤦♂️. Crown looking sparse from a distance. But zoomed in is a whole other story!!! (Front is still the same only with longer vellus hairs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you're a good responder, keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member BlokeFromStoke Posted November 18, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 18, 2021 Thanks ciaus, still a bit to go before it's good but day 48 not too bad at all! Just need temples transplanted hopefully at this rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member BlokeFromStoke Posted November 23, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 23, 2021 https://youtu.be/DRe2qW8Z84c personally I agree, I think this may explain, why I seem to have such a good response in such a short time frame.(Sarm use) crown and mid scalp are stronger, and temples have a lot more fine hairs. And I'm still 1 week away from the 2 month mark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
