Regular Member Fox243 Posted October 30, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone, I've been selected to try out Xyon's topical finasteride for a year. In terms of past med history, I've been on minoxidil, LLLT, and nizoral shampoo the past 5 years. I had tried finasteride 1 mg EOD from August 2020 - May 2022, but still saw my hair loss progress, despite being a bit slower than the past. Because I wasn't getting the results I had hoped and had minor sides (i.e. lesser libido, watery semen), I stopped. Since then, my hair has thinned slightly, but the hair that has thinned was probably going to go anyways in a year or so even if I had continued oral fin. I'm now trying topical fin to see if I could have any chance at revitalizing those hairs potentially. I am relatively young (22), so I hope to see some revitalization from hairs that existed just a few years ago, but I also didn't respond well to oral fin, so I don't have super high hopes, but we'll just have to wait and see. Here's some baseline photos. I'll update every 30-60 days. Edited October 30, 2022 by Fox243 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Fox243 Posted December 12, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 12, 2022 Here’s a 2 month update. Main side to report is watery semen but nothing else. Feels like my hair has improved slightly, but hard to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're that young regrowth is commonplace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had significant regrowth on finesteride (in my late 40s) as a result of the medication and believe it will help retain my remaining native hair.
