Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted July 30, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted July 30, 2023 I'm not a doctor but you may find that oral minoxidil will give you better results also. All the best with your upcoming surgery! 👍 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey just topicals for now + the vitamins they gave me which have Saw palmetto. Been thinking of switching to just finesteride and vitamins and dropping minox since it didn't really do much for me over the last year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted September 2, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted September 2, 2023 Hey @Gup. Your donor looks great post op. It's a long twelve month ride so I wouldn't read anything into your journey for at least six months.

Switched over to pill Fin (I did .25 MWF this month without issue so I'm going to .5 next month) see you next month Edited September 27, 2023 by Gup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
