hi, please advise what should I do) My situation is not dire, but the process has started, what is better: start taking finasteride and minoxidil together with a mesoscooter or get a transplant right away?) the transplant for me will cost only $800 since you have your own hair. but if I get a transplant, it turns out that in any case I will be prescribed finasteride for life to save my hair?!

im using finasterid for exactly 3 months now and my hair looks more dens and much darker, but my hair line is sadly not back. Actually your video show me that i need more time (months) to get it back. My results until now are basically fine for 3 months....your video make me feel better now :D
Alex, I am approaching my 1 year finasteride anniversary. Results have been similar to your first year. Any chance you could do a 2nd year results video?
@@Ozzyozzysheesh 16 months now. It improved a lot in the first year, regrew about 2/3 of the hair I lost (I also used minoxidil 2x a day). After a year mark It's stayed the same but hasn't gotten worse.
Thanks! But it also depends on progression. I notice first results after 4 months. If there is no results after 6 months it can mean there is something wrong
incredible transformation! Do you cut the 1mg pill in half? Because that's how I'm doing it, I bought the 1mg box and I try to cut the pill in half with a cutter every time I take it. It's only been 2 months, but I'm still the same, my question is if it won't take effect on me or if it loses its effectiveness when cutting it, thank you!
Yes, I have been cutting finasteride (propecia) since 2008 and it's unlikley to lose effectivness when cutting. Results to expect from DHT blocker is incresed thickness of the hair that likely will take longer then 2 months depeing on progression
Hi Alex @SomebodyAlex, great video, thank you! I'm 24 and have been on finasteride since September/October so around 8/9 months. I'm a NW2 atm and haven't noticed any regrowth or stabilisation. My hairline has gotten worse, not drastically but I can see that it has slowly thinned and receded. I'm trying to be patient but struggling with the mental side of things - is this just the shed and something I need to be patient with and accept that results take time (1yr+)?
I have been on topical fin since dec 2022 but I have noticied small hair growth and denser hair as a progress. Coming to mental side you need to wait and be on fin. My Dr recommend gfc only if the tiny hair didn't turn up to be big in dec. Peace
@@Sam_00178 hey man! Yeah I've stuck with it and from what I can tell my hair has stabilized. It looks a lot healthier and darker than what it was, I didn't really notice this until I seen pictures of myself from one year ago. I think a lot has been mental and worrying about it but if you stick with it and get on with life things should work out. Hope this helps! 🤠
wow congrats on your growth! happy that you were able to take control and regain your hair. it is unlikely that your hairline was re-established from fin alone and thats ok but please let others know that you had a hair transplant so they dont get their hopes up. your face is better framed now. appreciate you making the video, please also let us know your dosage and other supplements you are taking. i saw in the comments you said it is personalized and we get that everyone is different but it would be nice to know what you are taking
Hey Chris, hair regrowth is a complex process. You need to address hair loss from all angles. Most guys address it only by the angle of growth stimulation and dht blocking. To get results I have been able to get (and keep for almost a decade) requires dedication and work. No, I haven't done a hair transplant. Supplamation and diet has to be personalized from possible trigger foods and deficiencies
@@chrisg513 Back in 2008 I was only taking finasteride. Since that time I have taken 0.5 mg daily. Yes, I added micorneedling in 2013 with minoxidil after solving my scalp problem check my other videos with minoxidil timeline

Hı buddy l starting proscar tomorrow. Proscar i5mg When dividing it, the pieces will be slightly different. Do you think this poses a problem with the layout?
I'm 35 and starting to lose my hair its still okay though roughly where you are at the moment. I purchased a years supply of fin 1mg and its sitting in my bedroom unopened unused. Not sure if I should start or not. I think my hair would be okay acceptable for another 5 maybe 10 yeara left alone and then maybe get a transplant when age 40-45 (sides and back still very thick no problems just the temple and top thinning atm) Not sure what to do Start on fin Or just leave it alone and get a transplant in 5-10 years time to fill out the front and top with hairs transplanted from the back
Take finasteride. Because once you bald you'll also looks hair at your crown. If you only get a hair transplant you'll in only certain areas, you'll still have thinning in the other areas eventually. Finasteride is better in the long term. You either keep your current hair with it or grow it back and maintain at the same time. Results are different from everyone. If you can, do both(finasteride and hair transplant) and you'll have a lot of hair to last you for a very long time.
Hop on find asap bro, start working out and stop worrying about it. Don't fear fina, fear what will happens if you don't take it. I'm on 0,5mg daily and so far i don't have any SE, i'm combining that with fluridil (eucapil) and RU58441. So far, so good.
You still have to take finasteride after a transplant or the hair will just fall out. If you are worrying about your hair then jump on it. Been on it for 3 years now, 1.25mg per day. People who use it for prostate take 5mg daily its a safe drug and it works. I get a prescription of 5mg pills then just cut it into quarters and one box lasts me months.
Thanks! No, I have not done a hair transplant and a DR William Rassman (Surgeon) analyzed my hair recovery in his blog stating that my hair has recovered from the treatment. Here is the link: baldingblog.com/on-finasteride-for-12-years-photo/
I have been on finasteride for over a year now and hair loss seems to have stabilised but haven’t seen much re growth, definitely nowhere near to the extent you have. Do you recommend adding minoxidil? I am considering foam minoxidil once per day
@@Ghjgfjjgv in terms of finasteride it helps to stabilze hair loss and stop progression for some it can have a thicking effect like I had. Yes, if more growth is needed then adding minoxidil should help. I also do x 1 time day foam application

@@SomebodyAlex I see. Yea I stopped minoxidil after 9 months on it, had severe headaches and brain fog. Finally back to normal after 3 days. Tempted to give finasteride a shot. Will try the same mg you do. Thanks.
Hey alex, my free total t is good. Im 36 years old. My free t is on the lower end. Estradiol within normal levels. I started getting side effects from oral finasteride after 2 years of use however even after taking a break the sides return. Please advise. I don’t want to lose my gains. Thanks!
@@SomebodyAlex my hair getting thin from 3 years , I lose 40-50 hair daily , one month ago doctor prescribed me minoxidil5%+finastride 0.1% solutions and I'm applying twice in a day from one month now I'm losing only 5-6 hair daily , is solution working on me ? And one more question which is good for long time result minoxidil or finastride capsule ?
@@tradingaddicttt If hair loss has decreased then it's working for you. Minoxidil is a growth stimulant and finasteride is dht blocker, combination of both usually gives better results
Its impossible to grow hair in front which already gone due to male pattern baldness. Minoxidil and Finasterride can slow down baldness but can't regrow already lost hair.
Hey Alex watched a few videos what's involved with the consultation or chat with you been on fin now for 13 months its halted my loss I think my scalp is cleaner I've been microneedling 1.5 mm once week with rosemary oil I haven't added minoxidil I'm worried start it have a shed get side effects and lose ground .
You're really lucky with your results. I managed to control my hair loss for 2-3 years with propecia, regaine, nizoral and derma rolling. Got moderate results with a bit of regrowth (which was good enough cause I was in the early stages of hair loss). For the last year I have started thinning heavily again and I'm kind of accepting it at this point. Wouldn't mind having my hair back though. 😂
@@Andrew-nj9ek well it was thinning, got under control on finasteride for 2-3 years, but then the thinning continued. So I stopped because it wasn't worth the risk of side effects.
@@Andrew-nj9ek yes I did! Had very little side effects apart from a bit of weight gain and brain fog from increased estrogen and lower DHT. That's a side effect of inhibiting 5 alpha reductase. I would get your hormone levels checked before taking it. If you have high estrogen naturally, expect a 5-10% increase for both estrogen and testosterone. So if you already have high estrogen naturally you might get more severe side effects like gynocomastia. Another side effect I noticed was a slow down in the development of my beard and body hair (I was in my early 20s when I started taking it). That skyrocketed when I stopped taking it. A good side effect was an increase in testosterone by about 5-10% and of course reduction in hair loss.
@@Andrew-nj9ek finasteride for most people slows down progression or halts it for a while. It doesn't remove 100% of the DHT though, so depending on how sensitive you are to DHT, the thinning may only slow down. Dutasteride is a stronger inhibitor of 5 alpha reductase and crashes DHT to almost zero, so that would be another alternative. But for me getting rid of all DHT was a bit too risky in terms of side effects.
Hey Tiago, yes it's possbile. In 2017 I grow out my hair until shoulder. It was great but takes long time to maintain. Here is a video from 2017 with me having long hair: th-cam.com/video/BP7WXMGqKZU/w-d-xo.html
Yes and no. For ex when I microdose proscar I do notice increse in shedding. Proscar is 5 mg pill and my guess is that finasteride is not equally sized in pill and when one is microdosing it becomes a problem
I have been taking Finasteride 1mg and Minoxidil 5 percent daily. I'll keep you guys updated here. Also, During the initial days of taking Finasteride, did you take one daily or one every alternate days?
@@SomebodyAlex thanks for replying. Got checked by a dermatologist yesterday. About to take 1mg Finesteride with 5 percent minoxidil. I'll keep everyone updated
@@ziyanshirazi for me personally, I’ve stayed away from minoxidil. I don’t want to spend the money and continue use everyday. I’ve been on finasteride everyday and derma rolling for 3 months. Hair is thicker and returning at the temples. It’s been doing well enough that at my dermatologist check up 2 days ago he thought I was on fin and minoxidil together. He was pretty shocked
@@gabrielbaker3188 my doctor prescribed me minoxidil, finasteride, some vitamins and a mild shampoo and i've been using it for the past 13 days. My hair is shedding faster than before(i know that's how it works). However, i've noticed that my hair is now a little thicker.
@@SomebodyAlex ok thanks I would try that but I’ve seen what you’ve said about how splitting 5mg into 0.5’s will cause an uneven distribution of the drug. What do you think about 1.25mg every Monday Wednesday and Friday?
Hi Alex I myself am way older than you but when you say Micro dosing do you mean you are taking more than 1mg of Propecia a day or adding up to 5 mg a day can you elaborate please.
@@Davidand-Goliath I microdose 0.5 mg daily (total 3.5 mg each week). Here is a updated video that I recorded lately: th-cam.com/video/naz2H56yXpI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=nANiPp03lSerxlJ3
i started on 0.5mg daily and i got symptoms of gyno and breast swelling so i had to stop. But i started again 2 weeks later and magically iv no symptoms of gyno or any other sides iv been on it now for a month nearly
Hey Alex great video as always! Did you suffer any side effects from this? Im wanting to take finaestride because none of the treatments I’ve taken have shown the effect I want them to… but at the same time Im worried I may suffer the side effects which is the only thing that’s keeping me away from starting it
Hair loss can be caused by several factors, not just dht and that could be a reason you haven't been able to stop the progression. If the only factor that you are losing hair is because of dht then taking dht blocker like finasteride will help. Regarding side effects, one way to determ is by hormonal test and look at total testosterone compare dht, if dht levels are less then10-15 % of TT then there is a higher possibly for side effects
Hello brother, i have started fin. Its been a week almost at first there was a slight testicle ache very slight now it has stopped. However i have been feeling a bit same slight pain in chest can you address whether its a thing over my mind or real? Like i have heard alot about gyno and ed and all other sides. I am using 0.5mg everyday generic version. It would be great help if you provide any advice for it.
@@SomebodyAlex thanks for your reply, can ypu have your say on chest pain? Like shall i keep going atleast for 2-3 weeks before summarising the whole thing?
@@SahilSharma-ew6cm hey can you give us any update about your hair ....and can you tell me from where did you get finasteride .... I'm considering to give it a try....
Alex , i have one question about Finasteride , do you feel your hair more strong when the finasteride kicks in. Its my 4th day and i feel them different and a lot less shedding. Is that normal ? is that a sign for finasteride kicking in ?
Help bro I am taking finastride 1mg daily and I continue it for 1 years and I’m still taking. But now i have shredding on my scalp from crown are. Please reply
alex, im going through a hereditary alopecia, but the thing is im 16. it started when i was 15 and a half where i began to notice my hair is thinning on the right. Now i have mild thinning from my crown to the front of the scalp. Do you think i should take finas 0.5 immedietly or should i consult first?
Hi, I’m not Alex but I will respond to your comment for you. I’m 22 years old, and I got unlucky with my hairline recession starting when I was 17, now I take finasteride 1 gram and my hairline is mostly back to normal, which has been really satisfying for me. Depending on who you are and your genetics, finasteride might not work for everyone as well as the best patient, but from what I know, At your age being 16, I would not really recommend taking finasteride to begin with, but I understand that you are really young and you want to stop your hairline early with the hair that you have before it’s too late. You should definitely ask your GP or a dermatologist to see what the best solution for you is, but generally speaking, I’m pretty sure that a 0.5 would work fine for you, to at least stop the recession before you can take a stronger version to regrow your hair. Again though, best advice anyone can give to you is to ask a doctor first. But finasteride 0.5 is not a bad idea for you to start off with, if you want to save the hair you have left and to maybe even regrow it.
@@billyjoeguy640 thanks for the advice. im gonna make an appointment with a dermatologist this week to do a check up on my scalp. I know 16 is still young, but my hair is thinning fast. It makes sense though since every eldest kid on my dads family tree has androgenic alopecia. Damn my uncle went bald when he was 16 or 17. I’ve been getting suggestions that topical minoxidil 5% as an alternate for fina would be the best for now until i’ve reached 18. Thanks again for the help
@@sckeety If I were you I'd use min for a few years first. It will keep the follicles alive at least, that way you'll still have them when you' re 20 and able to take fin.
@@sckeety if you think you are physically developed, then after consulting a doc, it might be safe to try it. As I m 17 and just started it My doc gave it to me
Hi Alex, I want to thank you for all the information that you share with us. What is your opinion on using arimidex to reduce the side effects of Finasteride treatment? Do you have information on this aspect
@@SomebodyAlex I have tried finesteride for 8 month, minoxidil and microneedling for 2 months and almost 8 month with ru58841 but I have not seen any significant improvment. My miniturized hair folical have had very little improvment and I am begining to lose my hope for improvments. I am also going to try tretnoin to see if I become a better responder on minoxidil. My scalp do also look healty. And I am using ketoconzol shampo fungoral for my hair.
@@danieldaniel7718 so the data on finasteride improvement is that in the 1st year 18% of patients had a noticeable improvement of hair count and quality. In the 2nd year 36% of patients taking finasteride as a monotherapy had noticeable improvement of hair count and quality. The thing I want to stress with you is patience because if you take your finasteride in the long term you can respond very well. Another thing I wish to mention is the shedding phase. You have taken finasteride for 8 months... the drug finasteride causes shedding within the first 3 to 6 months. If most of your hair sheds on the 6th month you take Finasteride then it takes 3 months for the new hairs to enter the anagen phase an grow new hairs. Another point is this. You have been using minoxidil and microneedling for only 2 months. This also causes shedding within the first 3 months of use, but the mechanism of action is different from finasteride. Minoxidil and microneedling are stimulators that thicken up damaged miniaturized hairs. In doing so it sheds away the miniaturized hairs and new hairs push the old ones out with thicker healthier hairs. The old hairs that were shed from minoxidil and microneedling will also take another 3 months before they enter anagen phase and start growing. My advice for you is to not take experimental stuff and just stick with finasterid 1mg, minoxidil, and microneedling (1.0mm to 1.5mm once a week) for another complete year and you should see very significant improvement. And if you are taking topical minoxidil you might want to switch to oral minoxidil 1mg to 2.5mg once per day. This is a far more potent stimulation therapy than topical minoxidil. I hope this helped you out.

Are you still taking it? Or did you stop after your hair grew back?
Yes, I'm still taking it. If I stop taking it hair would start to shed out again
Finasteride is a life long commitment
So repairing the rest? Did you get a hair transplant or implant from the back of your head?
Hi Alex @SomebodyAlex, great video, thank you! I'm 24 and have been on finasteride since September/October so around 8/9 months. I'm a NW2 atm and haven't noticed any regrowth or stabilisation. My hairline has gotten worse, not drastically but I can see that it has slowly thinned and receded. I'm trying to be patient but struggling with the mental side of things - is this just the shed and something I need to be patient with and accept that results take time (1yr+)?
I have been on topical fin since dec 2022 but I have noticied small hair growth and denser hair as a progress. Coming to mental side you need to wait and be on fin. My Dr recommend gfc only if the tiny hair didn't turn up to be big in dec. Peace
Appreciate it my man, all the best!
@@Sam_00178 hey man! Yeah I've stuck with it and from what I can tell my hair has stabilized. It looks a lot healthier and darker than what it was, I didn't really notice this until I seen pictures of myself from one year ago. I think a lot has been mental and worrying about it but if you stick with it and get on with life things should work out. Hope this helps! 🤠
insane, from norwood 2 to 0

Thanks. Finasteride only without ht
@@SomebodyAlex thanks mate. Brilliant results
Propecia or generic finasteride?
@@sravat1234 which brand finastride do you use ?
wow congrats on your growth! happy that you were able to take control and regain your hair. it is unlikely that your hairline was re-established from fin alone and thats ok but please let others know that you had a hair transplant so they dont get their hopes up. your face is better framed now. appreciate you making the video, please also let us know your dosage and other supplements you are taking. i saw in the comments you said it is personalized and we get that everyone is different but it would be nice to know what you are taking
Hey Chris, hair regrowth is a complex process. You need to address hair loss from all angles.
Most guys address it only by the angle of growth stimulation and dht blocking. To get results I have been able to get (and keep for almost a decade) requires dedication and work.
No, I haven't done a hair transplant. Supplamation and diet has to be personalized from possible trigger foods and deficiencies

What was your dosage / routine for finasteride ?
Hey Alex!
Did u also use min? And what was your fin dosage?
Greetings from Germany!
I'm 35 and starting to lose my hair its still okay though roughly where you are at the moment.
I purchased a years supply of fin 1mg and its sitting in my bedroom unopened unused. Not sure if I should start or not.
I think my hair would be okay acceptable for another 5 maybe 10 yeara left alone and then maybe get a transplant when age 40-45 (sides and back still very thick no problems just the temple and top thinning atm)
Not sure what to do
Start on fin
Or just leave it alone and get a transplant in 5-10 years time to fill out the front and top with hairs transplanted from the back
Take finasteride. Because once you bald you'll also looks hair at your crown. If you only get a hair transplant you'll in only certain areas, you'll still have thinning in the other areas eventually.
Finasteride is better in the long term. You either keep your current hair with it or grow it back and maintain at the same time. Results are different from everyone. If you can, do both(finasteride and hair transplant) and you'll have a lot of hair to last you for a very long time.
Hop on find asap bro, start working out and stop worrying about it. Don't fear fina, fear what will happens if you don't take it. I'm on 0,5mg daily and so far i don't have any SE, i'm combining that with fluridil (eucapil) and RU58441. So far, so good.
You still have to take finasteride after a transplant or the hair will just fall out. If you are worrying about your hair then jump on it. Been on it for 3 years now, 1.25mg per day. People who use it for prostate take 5mg daily its a safe drug and it works. I get a prescription of 5mg pills then just cut it into quarters and one box lasts me months.

@@tradingaddicttt If hair loss has decreased then it's working for you. Minoxidil is a growth stimulant and finasteride is dht blocker, combination of both usually gives better results
Its impossible to grow hair in front which already gone due to male pattern baldness. Minoxidil and Finasterride can slow down baldness but can't regrow already lost hair.
Yes, but depends on how long those areas has been empty
So you are taking Propecia? Not the generic instead?
Yes, until April 2020 I was taking Propecia (brand) now I take the generic version from France. I made a video about it a year ago
Hey Alex watched a few videos what's involved with the consultation or chat with you been on fin now for 13 months its halted my loss I think my scalp is cleaner I've been microneedling 1.5 mm once week with rosemary oil I haven't added minoxidil I'm worried start it have a shed get side effects and lose ground .
Hey, consultation is about finding out what's is your hair loss problem and if my program can help you to solve it
You're really lucky with your results. I managed to control my hair loss for 2-3 years with propecia, regaine, nizoral and derma rolling.
Got moderate results with a bit of regrowth (which was good enough cause I was in the early stages of hair loss). For the last year I have started thinning heavily again and I'm kind of accepting it at this point. Wouldn't mind having my hair back though. 😂
you stop your finasteride before your hair start thinning?
@@Andrew-nj9ek well it was thinning, got under control on finasteride for 2-3 years, but then the thinning continued. So I stopped because it wasn't worth the risk of side effects.
@@mario7501 you took it everyday 1mg? I also worry about the finasteride not work for me
@@Andrew-nj9ek yes I did! Had very little side effects apart from a bit of weight gain and brain fog from increased estrogen and lower DHT. That's a side effect of inhibiting 5 alpha reductase.
I would get your hormone levels checked before taking it. If you have high estrogen naturally, expect a 5-10% increase for both estrogen and testosterone. So if you already have high estrogen naturally you might get more severe side effects like gynocomastia.
Another side effect I noticed was a slow down in the development of my beard and body hair (I was in my early 20s when I started taking it). That skyrocketed when I stopped taking it.
A good side effect was an increase in testosterone by about 5-10% and of course reduction in hair loss.
@@Andrew-nj9ek finasteride for most people slows down progression or halts it for a while. It doesn't remove 100% of the DHT though, so depending on how sensitive you are to DHT, the thinning may only slow down.
Dutasteride is a stronger inhibitor of 5 alpha reductase and crashes DHT to almost zero, so that would be another alternative. But for me getting rid of all DHT was a bit too risky in terms of side effects.
At your first finasteride what was your dose of drug? I'm following you from Egypt. Thanks
0.25 mg
Hi. Does you hair grows normally or it has a limit? If you decided to let it grow and have a Jason Mamoa style ( example ) can you do it?

Hey alex, did you use Propecia or Proscar?
Hey Enes, I take propecia 1 mg pills that I split in half (brand name)
@@SomebodyAlex alex, you try to help everyone, thk you
Does the brand matter?
Yes and no. For ex when I microdose proscar I do notice increse in shedding. Proscar is 5 mg pill and my guess is that finasteride is not equally sized in pill and when one is microdosing it becomes a problem

About 15 months

Hair loss can be caused by several factors, not just dht and that could be a reason you haven't been able to stop the progression. If the only factor that you are losing hair is because of dht then taking dht blocker like finasteride will help. Regarding side effects, one way to determ is by hormonal test and look at total testosterone compare dht, if dht levels are less then10-15 % of TT then there is a higher possibly for side effects

Now i have mild thinning from my crown to the front of the scalp. Do you think i should take finas 0.5 immedietly or should i consult first?
Hi, I’m not Alex but I will respond to your comment for you.
I’m 22 years old, and I got unlucky with my hairline recession starting when I was 17, now I take finasteride 1 gram and my hairline is mostly back to normal, which has been really satisfying for me. Depending on who you are and your genetics, finasteride might not work for everyone as well as the best patient, but from what I know, At your age being 16, I would not really recommend taking finasteride to begin with, but I understand that you are really young and you want to stop your hairline early with the hair that you have before it’s too late.
You should definitely ask your GP or a dermatologist to see what the best solution for you is, but generally speaking, I’m pretty sure that a 0.5 would work fine for you, to at least stop the recession before you can take a stronger version to regrow your hair.
Again though, best advice anyone can give to you is to ask a doctor first. But finasteride 0.5 is not a bad idea for you to start off with, if you want to save the hair you have left and to maybe even regrow it.
@@billyjoeguy640 thanks for the advice. im gonna make an appointment with a dermatologist this week to do a check up on my scalp. I know 16 is still young, but my hair is thinning fast.

@@danieldaniel7718 in that case there is something that you haven't addressed yet.You should be able to see noticeable results at this stage
@@SomebodyAlex yes. but what could that be :-( ?
@@danieldaniel7718 so the data on finasteride improvement is that in the 1st year 18% of patients had a noticeable improvement of hair count and quality. In the 2nd year 36% of patients taking finasteride as a monotherapy had noticeable improvement of hair count and quality.
The thing I want to stress with you is patience because if you take your finasteride in the long term you can respond very well. Another thing I wish to mention is the shedding phase. You have taken finasteride for 8 months... the drug finasteride causes shedding within the first 3 to 6 months. If most of your hair sheds on the 6th month you take Finasteride then it takes 3 months for the new hairs to enter the anagen phase an grow new hairs. Another point is this. You have been using minoxidil and microneedling for only 2 months. This also causes shedding within the first 3 months of use, but the mechanism of action is different from finasteride. Minoxidil and microneedling are stimulators that thicken up damaged miniaturized hairs. In doing so it sheds away the miniaturized hairs and new hairs push the old ones out with thicker healthier hairs. The old hairs that were shed from minoxidil and microneedling will also take another 3 months before they enter anagen phase and start growing.
My advice for you is to not take experimental stuff and just stick with finasterid 1mg, minoxidil, and microneedling (1.0mm to 1.5mm once a week) for another complete year and you should see very significant improvement. And if you are taking topical minoxidil you might want to switch to oral minoxidil 1mg to 2.5mg once per day. This is a far more potent stimulation therapy than topical minoxidil. I hope this helped you out.
