==================================
Welcome to my TH-cam channel Hairliciously. In this channel, I will be taking you on a journey of my FUE hair transplant progress. Towards the end of November 2016, I had a 1700 FUE hair transplant done in South Korea at Motion Clinic (en.motionclinic.kr) to lower my hairline and to fill in my receding temples. The FUE hair transplant procedure took me about 7-8 hours to complete and cost me approximately $5000 USD.

=======================================
Products I am using to supplement my FUE hair transplant:
1. Micro-needling 2-3 times a week.
2. Biotin 10,000mcg/day - Biotin is effective in thickening hair, nails, and beautifying the skin. I've noticed thicker and stronger hair after using Biotin for the past few months.
3. Vitamin D 3,000IU/day - Vitamin D helps maintain a healthy body
4. Minoxidil (Rogaine) - Minoxidil slows hair loss progression and promotes hair regrowth. I've noticed that using Minoxidil helped me grow my transplanted hairs a lot more quicker.
5. Pumpkin Seed Oil 1000 mg
6. Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
I find finasteride not only to be a follicly stabilising drug, but I've also found it to be a psychologically stabilising drug. I think when you're worrying about hair loss, it feels out of your control. I find taking finasteride and minoxidil gives me an element of control over my situation, which without causes anxiety and distress. I think there are many young vulnerable men, particularly when they're in their late teens/early 20s, who find hair loss very difficult. With their hair, goes their confidence, their self esteem, their youth and their virility. A non-hair loss sufferer just wouldn't know how bad it can be.
Andrew Moss agree. It gets to me when dudes with no hair loss say it wouldn’t bother them, etc. How would they know? It did bother me mildly but I got into finasteride and 2 HT’s in my early 30’s and it improved my quality of life tremendously. Hair shouldn’t be important but it is.
You might not like my up and coming upload but hey we all have different opinions so it’s cool
This is bang on
I absolutely agree with this. A lot of people say that finasteride gave them depression... well, for me the opposite is true. If I wouldn’t be on finasteride and I would have to see my hair loss get progressively worse, I most certainly would be depressed loo
Omg you understand it to a T. My hair line has got worse since last year!! I’m 19 btw and I’ve had so many full on break downs cause of this crap , life really doesn’t give a fuck
Started fin when I was 17 (now 31) stopped last year after I got married. Wife pregnant couple months after, back on fin now. Never had any issues.
how is ur baby?? hope no problem
im 19 and just started, how was/is your experience with fin?
NoPowerHero why would my baby have a problem?
Musa Tahir pretty good. No issues just be consistent with it. If you get bad sides stop and try something else. Good luck
I took it for 6 years without any side effects. I only had the feeling that it slowed down beard development. I stopped taking it a few years ago and I am pleased with my beard now so I will start taking it again. Take 1.25mg every second day and you'll be fine.
I have been taking finasteride for 10 years and I haven't been adversely affected by it at all
I only started 3-4 weeks ago and was really worried about the side effects but the only thing I experienced not to be too personal was adding more water to my seaman so a larger quantity but more dilute.
For me it's still too early to start seeing any new hair growth though.
@Gustave Viking Finasteride significantly slows down the process and in some cases prevents you from balding any further. if you want to regrowth your hair you would need to take minoxidil solution/ hair regrowth laser/ derma roller/ - you should look up how to properly use each of these before you start using them to prevent side effects
@Gustave Viking
Theirs a number of study's you can find online some showing decent regrowth.
www.holdthehairline.com/does-propecia-work/ (just the first link i found)
and number of people with side effects around 2%.
I also started using minoxidil and dermarola or derma pen more recently ,
using caffeine shampoo and exfoliating shampoo and have been seriously considering getting a FUE hair transplant in Turkey.
A transplant is suppose to be the most effective but you only have so many hairs to transplant and it's expensive.
I think out of non surgical options finastride and other DHT blockers are most effective then probably either dermarola/pen or topical minoxidal though they can't be used within 24 hours of each other to avoid minoxidil getting into your blood stream then caffeine shampoo lazer therapy weaker heba DHT blockers like green tea.
God damn lair
@@kisstagals take it yourself and then see... loser
You should only take it 3 times a week, there is no need to take it daily
I've been taking finasteride 1 mg per day for 7 months now. I got all my hair back with NO side effects at all. I started getting results about 2 months later. Finasteride is the holy grail.
Man I really gotta try this
Leo Frasiskov just try it out bro.
For real?? I have been taking it for about a month now and I haven't really seen any growth on my temples
Did u find any physical side effects
@@joffrey1200 finasteride does not really work well for temples.. it works best on the crown. So his hairloss is most likely mostly in the crown area. AND you need to wait atleast 3 months to see some results. You will shed one month in or so.. and then when the hair starts a new growth cycle, THAT'S when it starts working on top of the head.. not really in temples.. Most people don't see much results in temples from finasteride or any drug.
Lol, this is like the 3rd video you go back and forth on taking finasteride. I feel you and know your struggle
Yeah, well initially I stopped after reading studies and then resumed and stayed on it until now.
@Hairliciously
My girlfriend works for a doctor's surgery. She told me that they prescribe propecia to over 600 men and none have reported any real side effects despite many having been on for 30 years plus. It may lose effectiveness over time but didn't induce the side effects talked about here.
That is what motivated my decision to use it.
@@hairliciously i have a chatmate FUT specialist and he told me he had taken fin for 10 yrs. But then his children are normal upon giving birth.
How have they been taking it for 30 years plus when it was approved for hairloss reduction in 1997?
Victor Matos agree
The stress this drug causes on the guy will kill him decades before the actual drug. I use it and have absolutely zero side effects.
Perfectly valid reason to stop taking the drug. It’s one of the reasons I waited to start taking it. I’m 34 now and my wife and I had our first child two years ago. Debated about a second and decided against it. Adoption is a better option. Good luck with the efforts and let us know when you guys succeed!
-DJ
Took them, had issues for years, and trust me, you will always not feel 100% for yourself after discontinuing them..
Day 93 on Finasteride people! This shit works!
what kind of finasteride am i going to buy?
@@chemaemarapao5419 Generic if on a budget, Propecia if you don't care about the extra money spent.
I think you’ll be fine as your hair loss really doesn’t seem aggressive at all. It’s kinda a worry of mine if I end up having a child in the future, like there’s no way of knowing how much hair finasteride has saved so I guess the longer your on it the worse it could be if you stop 😩although I do know someone who was on it for 13yrs and stopped for this reason and they said they only lost a very small amount.. kinda unpredictable.
Absolutely. I am just not comfortable with the theoretical risks finasteride may have when conceiving. Heck, women already have enough complications and risks just by being pregnant, so I really don't want to add to any of that. Family comes first, hair comes after that.
It will fall at the same rate as before you started fin it won't fall faster . If you want to stop an regrow hair apply vodka with smashed beta sitosterol pills mixed together. The vodka makes your skin absorb better increase blood flow and the beta sitosterol will inhibit 5 AlphaR meaning dht won't attack your scalp free bbn of side effects I'm not a doctor by the way but you are welcome do it for 2 days and you'll thank me. I'll be waiting your reply
Do it after taking hot shower to have open pores
FLAKO en verdad funciona eso? Que exactamente hace eso?
It lasts months in the scalp after you stop taking it and it has left your system itself. So there’s no need to stress so much about this. You won’t even start loosing hair until 3-6 months of being off of it. You can literally safely come off, conceive a child after two months, get back on after three months, and not loose a step.
Ashely and Martin hair regrowth clinic - also recommend that you stop Finasteride prior conceiving a child, I think it was for two months before conceiving
They say you don’t need to take 1mg/day
You can take 3 mg a week according to some doctors because that’s enough to keep it in the skin not the blood. After long term use it’s definitely a good idea to take a small break because it builds up in the system and there will be no hair loss for about a year.
@Einsatzgruppen B you realize that none of the things you mentioned have ever happened, in the millions of babies conceived accidentally while the father was on finasteride? Millions and it’s never happened but you have the audacity to spread fear like this. I’m not saying you are wrong or that people shouldn’t come off before conceiving but Jeeze dude. No need to be like this.
Just FYI.. I take 5mg Finasteride 5 times a week and one 0.5 mg Tablet of Dutasteride once a week. I conceived two healthy children (1 boy and 1 girl) while on these drugs with no problem. I was worried about the potential for developmental issues too, however, I think the biggest key is to be careful AFTER conception. So after my wife's ovulation period we would use condoms for the duration of her pregnancy. No problems whatsoever and I have two healthy children. My wife got pregnant very quickly both times with no issues.
How's your hair? Did it grow back quick?
Did you get better results than most guys who take 1mg finasteride?
My hair has done well and I grew back a lot. Been on this regime for over 10 years.
@@snarefreak4761 How did you get the scrips for 5mg Finasteride and Dutasteride? Hair surgeon? I'd love to know why .25mg Fin can destroy some guys libido and other guys can handle 5mg with no effects. I wish there was a test you could take before to determine if it was safe for you. There is no doubt that Dutasteride can grow hair back better than finasteride. I wonder why they aren't approving it's use for hair loss since it's been around for so long now.
@@zeethree try 0.5 mg per day first. It's been working for me with no side effects. I take 1 mg per day. Been on it for 7 months now, I got ALL my hair back. I couldn't be happier. Also I'm having a lot of sex, pretty good down there.
Cool! I have an appointment with my doctor this Thursday afternoon. I was so sceptical about finasteride due to what I read initially about the side effects etc, but once I looked into these so called side effects, they appeared to seem extremely rare. It also seems like fin has better results then minoxidil and you take it as a pill rather then rubbing liquid on your head forever twice a day.
yup, good luck man!
Clearly you didn’t do enough research the side effects are very high especially in younger men who’a bodies have naturally high DHT levels. This drug makes permanent changes to the Crain even after one pill it can causes devastating consequences and that’s a fact you need to do more digging to understand the lives that have been wrecked my this so called safe even in small quantities people trying to micro dose.
@@MILTFTRUE11 Can you link those studies? Only papers that I read showed side-effects to occur marginally more often than in control groups (~1.5%). Asking this because I'm young myself and have been taking for 4 years now
MILTFTRUE11 yeah man if you’re gonna make claims like that you definitely need to provide a reliable source...
@@MILTFTRUE11 I agree with you 💯
Been using finasteride along with minox since the end of 2016, no visible improvements nor sides. Probably just slowing down hair loss, but not stopping at least for me.
3 years and no new growth. Damn this is depressing to hear having just started myself
@@Fd20y Well, Finasteride is more about preventing future hair loss, not restoring what you have lost years ago. As well as minoxodill the only hair it can restore is hair that you have just recently lost say 12-16 months.
Nashville I’ve been losing mine for 6 years. I can grow a full head but you can see my scalp through my crown
@@Fd20y You wanna use some hair fibers like Toppik it really helps if you still have some hair but lack density
Nashville I use them daily mate I have done for 4 years but just looking for that bit extra. Now I’m on finasteride at least I won’t lose any more hair I guess
Day 40 on finasteride. I think I'm starting to see some baby hairs around the hairline.
Day 50 on finasteride and I am definately seeing some baby hairs growing around the hairline. So it is working!
@@3500camarz dude wtf how, i'm 8 months in now and it's not working. Considering to add minoxidil.
{Edit} I mean it didnt add anything yet i think, maybe my hair is a bit fuller. But I think my temples are still thinning. But yeah, maybe i wouldve been bald already without the fin
@@Overhemd How old are you and how old were you when you started losing hair? Those are some important details. If you started too late then you may have lost too much hair by the time you started finasteride. It only works if you catch it in time before the hair follicles die off from all the DHT. What Norwood are you?
@@3500camarz i'm 21 and 4 months now, was 20.5 when I first started noticing. Mustve been at least 4 months before that it started without me noticing. People even thought I was going bald before i even believed them lol
Just googled the scale and i think im around 2/3 btw
Probably 3 but def not vertex yet. Im checking that a lot now lol
Too much information. Please short it out with parts. This gets too confusing after a point.
thanks for the feedback!
What happened to Dr tsjui beginning the hair cloning trial last month. He never did it. What do you think will happen to the 2020 date?
For your 2nd hair transplant, are you having it done in Korea again? I’m currently looking for a FUE doctor. Korea seems more reputable than Turkey for HTs. Or I’ll do SMP because I have diffuse loss. Not sure yet. Also, your face looks vibrant and fresh.
My Doctor prescribe me to take Fenasteride for my severe hair loss today. And now, I am bit worried to take it.
Just take it bro and then u will see
Honestly man, only listen to your doctor, youtubers and comments on youtube videos are Not reliable. You will only know how it affects you once you take it.
Handsome man! Nice hair I'm 32 took fern couple years ago got all the bad side effects lucky you didnt..I jus took it for 7 months an didn't do nothing 😤😞
what sides u got man?
Great video! Are you still applying monoxidil to your scalp?
Thank you for your Videos! Are you going to go back on Minoxidil during this phase of your life while you are off Finasteride? And will you ever go back on Finasteride once the pregnancies are over? Thanks again for all your videos and information you shared! All the best!
Good decision dude, your baby's health comes first! Congratulations to you and your wife btw!
Nevermind your hair. Let's hear your skin care routine?
asian genetics
Lookin good with the stache and pinch bro! I wouldn't take the chance on my offspring either, I think it's the best decision.
Women have a real treatment for every cosmetic issue under the sun. Men have one issue, androgenic alopecia, and no ones figured out a real treatment lool
Hey man! all my wishes to you and your wife. Good luck with everything. Also I would really appreciate if you can make a researched video over saw palmetto too. Thanks keep up the good work! 👍
How are you stopping your usage? Are you slowing it down first and tapering off? I hear you can lose a lot of hair if you quit cold turkey.
My side effect after taking it is that my butt hair got thicker
That’s good your improving potential donor area
I really appreciate your channel as someone who’s been using rogaine since they were 17. I’ve known from the start that finasteride was one of the most effective options but me and my family have always been far too cautious of the side effects to try it. For a long time I settled to just bland slower via rogaine and stop thinking about it. You’ve finally showed me other options to prevent or DRAMATICALLY slow my balding via methods that won’t chemically castrate me. 🙏 thank you. I’ve started microneedling and bought ketocoanzole shampoo. I’m not giving up and hopefully we won’t need finasteride. I’m sorry for your struggle but the science is almost there brother. God bless and good luck.
update?
@@rohananand7101 Stopped taking rogaine for a year coz of health issues. My hair was falling out a lot from both but hopped back on and now its ok. I still have hair. It could definitely look better tho.
Make your own finasteride using Stemoxydine and apply topically if you get sides. And if it persists, try lowering the dose until you hit the sweet spot.
I am on my 3rd month in Finasteride. Luckily I do not have side effects. But what makes me really depressed is that hair is continuously thinning unlike before taking Fin. I keep on shedding. Is this normal? I am losing hope. Sometimes I think of not taking the drug in the first place.
I used it for over 6 years and stopped 8 years ago. It worked great but decided to stop for fear not of the subtle side effects that I experienced, totally workable but in fear of long term consequences. I made a video of it on my channel and I do admit that it affected the quality of my erections but I addressed it with viagra. The symptoms all went AWAY when I stopped btw. I just subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work.
Ben j honestly to each their own. My results were amazing and a little Viagra did the work haha but as you say, nothing is worth the potential long term side effects. Remember, this drug has only been around for 20 something years, who knows longer term stuff. I hate to push my channel but if you can check it out. I have a video about my experience but it is in Spanish, maybe you can see it with subtitles.
any updates on your hair loss journey?
I am really short tempered since I were a kid I just loose my temper on any minor things but I can tell you guys since I started on finistrside it made me so calm and cool I quit like the side affect apart of hair loose prevention
*There are a wealth of psychological and anthropological studies that support the claim that men who go bald are more likely to be cheated on by their significant other.*
*Just something to bear in mind if you are under the impression that once a woman marries you and/or has your child that you can afford to go bald.*
Citations needed
Even if you have a full set of hair, it won’t stop your wife from cheating. It’s completely irrelevant .
You know what will cause your SO to cheat on you? The insecurity you're displaying in the comment
So not stopping taking Fin !
I am 18 and I am taking finasteride and have had absolutely no side effects.
Plus I am studying and I have noticed me memory has gotten WAY BETTER.
So I don’t understand?
Im 27, its my day 10 on fin. No side effect of any type so far.
You're very young so side effects might not be as visible or at all, the case may be different as time goes on
Hardi Zengana Thats true I think the more old you get the more you get side effects
@lolcano234 Exactly what i'm trying to say, I am in my early twenties and i would seriously wait for a better alternative (Breezula for example) which is right around the corner or even wear a piece for the rest of my life
Hardi Zengana Medipost (topical stem cells) from Korea will be available in July before Breezula whether it works is another question. Still waiting on results from Trinov
can you please tell which one is better foam or liquid minoxidil and which company is better KIRKLAND OR ROGAINE plzz do reply.
Man I got triggered when you didnt mention what natural product you are going to use :D
Im calling pygeum or magnesium
Enlarged prostates typically occur in older men, and since the drug has been prescribed since 1993, there has been plenty of time to see whether the drug caused any type of mental issue as one ages. To say there has been no evidence that it is safe in that aspect is the same as saying no one's been looking and doctors have not been following up, which I think is unlikely.
hey bro, wanted to know your views on DHI vs FUE hairtransplant. advantages and disadvantages @hairiciously
Short hair on the sides suits you well mate.
This is a perfectly fine reason to temporarily stop, I hope you do resume after though. By the way, if you’re worried about the neurological effects you could always take pregnenolone supplements
Thanks for the suggestion!
A drug has been recently approved by the FDA to combat post-partum depression (caused by a decrease in the levels of brexanolone, also known as allopregnanolone). Since Finasteride decreases this hormone, I think it would be interesting to take both at the same time. Please, let me know what you think
Imanol Fdez. De Arroyabe Zabala--please contact a doctor before you do all these things.
@@joshboston2323 I'm not going to do any of this, is mere speculation
Imanol Fdez. De Arroyabe Zabala-i see. Always good to speculate :)
My quick finasteride experience for those who are looking for info. Noticed my hairline receding early 20s, a few years later started finasteride with only minor temporal recession. Now at 30 I have only experienced a little further recession and the rest of my hair has thickened considerably. I introduced nizoral but no other topical treatment.
I believe if I had never taken finasteride I would have significantly worse hair loss right now and I am largely thought to have a 'full head of hair' by those around me. I HAVE experienced side effects, but these have not disrupted my life. I have a reduced sex drive compared to before I started but this only seems to reduce instances of my mind wandering during every day activities. During the deed it doesn't impact me at all. In fact I find I am generally less distracted by sex which can be a blessing in some situations.
Overall I recommend it for those concerned with hair loss. If my hairloss remains steady for the next 5 years I'll get a hair transplant
Well younger people have higher sex drives.
good luck on the baby making !
I've literally just got my prescription and took my first tablet.. wish me luck
It destroyed my life so good luck with that
@dennisestrada75 btw it's fine I'm only on my second month but with some extra help from shampoos my hair does appear thicker. I'm gonna give it another 6 months before I start recommending to anyone because it takes time for your hair to grow and the side effects to kick in, but so far so good
@@MILTFTRUE11 just read your comment on that Jason's comment of the video. Maybe all that trouble you got ain't just down to finasteride
@dennisestrada75 interesting you said about shedding because i have realised some hairs falling out in the shower and on my bed sheets, i must be at that point so hopefully it gets abit better.
What do you mean the big three?
@dennisestrada75 I've actually heard of that ingredient from somewhere, but the shampoo I use just claims to have less harsh chemicals than what you get in your day to day stuff but is marketed for hair loss tbh.
I don't thin minoxidil is for me it's to much messing around everyday before and after bed, I've heard that people also shed of that before it starts to show and that isn't something I want. Also when you stop taking it the hair falls out and i can only imagine the horror if you shed even more hair from when you stopped using it to when you started if you get what I mean.
3rd or 4th time i've stopped it too, and for good. too much fatigue, apathy and foggy brain when on every time sadly and god knows what else that isn't obvious
yeah ive been on finasteride for 3 months, and i thought i was crazy or overthinking it, but i definitely feel drowsy and have foggy brain as you mentioned. But, it isn't enough to make me want to stop taking it altogether. my hair has grown back so much in 3 months since male pattern baldness started hitting me hard. luckily, i caught it pretty early on, so im expecting to keep and maintain a full head of hair! im 25 btw
Klay Curry hey I am also 25 my hair started thinning a lot when I turned 23 I started finasteride a week ago but I am thinking about stopping because I’ve read a lot of about erectile disfunction and that scares me lol
@@MrSamwiseable any updates guys?
Gave me brain fog, still dealing with it and sexual sides a year later. Decided to not touch it again and shaved my head
You are getting more and more handsome :-) I thought you were gay but didn't realize you are married to a woman. What a shame :-)
shame u dont like women
It’s strange but I’ve been take fin now for 25 years. My hairline has Receded a bit but out of all my male relatives, I’m the only one with hair. However at 45 I’m starting to forge or recall my clients names. Not sure if it’s a sign
Or if fin is related... but good to know!
No side effects for 25 year?
Can ı ask a question plase :
When you stop finasteride what happens your hair. Suddenly fall out , fall out more or fall out normal previously . İn turkey a subject on agenda. After using finasterid ıf you stop take finasterid your hair more fastly take off . For example ıf you use finasterid ten years . After stop finasterid . all preventing ten years hair fall out 3 -6 months among
Hey hairliciously great vids man ! I have a question. Do you think HTs are permanent ? Do they thin out over time ? Thanks in advance great info on your channel !!
ANDREW Tucci Hair transplants are permanent only in the area the surgery was performed on as far as I know.
The front hairline is fine but the issue is that as male pattern baldness advances, the area behind the hairline starts losing hair. This is why young men are dissuaded to do hair transplants too early.
@@ryanredhead1261 yeah i meant is the transplanted hair permanent or does it thin out over time type of thing
Finesteride made me "shoot blanks". Weirdest thing ever. So I read up on side effects and stopped taking it. My great hair growth now all gone. That was a tough choice to make. Hair v.s dry orgasms 😣😒 I'm now bald as hell.
Don't have any of those problems
@@Antoniodagreat Lucky you. I just started back the fight. But am sticking to dermapenning and minoxidil.
Minoxidil I thought it sheds your hair faster
@@Antoniodagreat Lots of treatments shed your hair before growing it. Low level laser also causes shedding before growth. Its oart of the follicle regeneration. So far I'm seeing new growth after 2 weeks already by combining dermapen and minoxidil
@@K9Trixx let me know if you see any growth I'm thinking about letting finasteride go and just stick with minoxidil and biotin I'm scared of getting gyno
I've been buzzing my head with a tight fade, line up and short lined up beard. I know I look good bald already despite being shorter in height but I still wanna try to save my hair cause my hair line is low and its just thinning in front. being bald is not a big deal but its worth a shot.
I've been on it for a month now and haven't noticed any changes. But I'm not focusing or looking for anything. Will keep it in the back of my head in case something pops up. Definitely makes sense to stop if you are trying to conceive though. Congrats :)
Thanks!! and best of luck!
Why is no one mentioning the fact that finasteride is linked to breastcancer in men in a study made in 2017 (link can be provided)?
Sugar is linked to cancer too. There's studies that will suggest that bananas are linked to cancer. It's just the normal crap that gets put out by research studies. We all drink alcohol, we all eat junk food, most people bang cocaine at the weekend. There are risks to everything, even crossing the road! People need to just get on with things and enjoy life without being paranoid hypochondriacs.
Ps. 1 year on propecia and in the best shape of my life. Big gains in the gym thanks to the increase in circulating levels of testosterone in my body that Fin has given me. Definitely comes in handy being a 40 something.
@@PST101 I am a pharmacist and part time researcher at a facility in scandinavia. The specific study i mention compared men that took propecia and people who didn't and then throughout the years combined the results and the end result was that it lead to a 44% increased (keyword) chance of getting breast cancer. The study was made in scandinavia too. I had light shed on this study when i was borderlining taking this but the doctor mentioned the chance of breast cancer.
Link to study: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5773955/
Edit: Finasteride does not lead to increased levels of testosterone since it only inhibits the DHT level and has no effect on your testosterone level in your body
@@hardizengana as stated earlier. there are loads of studies out there that suggest an increased 'chance' of cancer. Meat eating, toothpaste, milk. A lot of this stuff has to be taken with a pinch of salt. 'Chance' and 'proven' are different things. There are millions of people taking Finasteride. Where are all the Fin-Cancer victims?
And yes, Fin does lead to more 'circulating levels' (keywords) of testosterone in the body. It does not increase the 'total' level of testosterone produced, but because the testosterone that is produced is no longer being converted into DHT at the same level as before, there is therefore more of it circulating the body. This is very well documented. I also have my levels checked regularly, and my testosterone has regularly been around 10% higher since taking Finasteride.
Ps. I've read the study you linked to. Straight after I took my daily dose of Finasteride. Take it or leave it. The choice is everybody's own to make. I wish you well.
@@PST101 Well i just gave you the study on the Fin-Cancer victims so idk what your question is? The rate of cancer was increased and the number of people that were in the study were a significant amount so no it cannot be taken with a "pinch of salt". That's just blatantly overlooking the facts.
And no DHT is just testosterone so the the conversion does not change it. It can be looked at as a name label conversion. The circulating levels do not increase.
You do what you do man, i'm not here to discourage you. I just want to inform people on the matter since i am a pharmacist myself. The choise is yours.
I'm at a very young age myself and have concidered taking finasteride because it can stop the little form of hairloss i have. But since DHT is still a very poorly researched hormone, we don't really know all of it's effects on our mental health and other factors inside our body. So i personally want to refrain from taking it because blocking out a hormone completely out of your body is a very drastic measure.
Have a nice day!
@lolcano234 Exactly, finasteride isn't a "specific drug" which is a medical term for that it inhibits type 3 and basically any 5a-reductase it can bind to
I hate being that guy but you kinda remind me of Stephen Yuen. I want give you a hug buddy.
If you stop Finasteride you can switch to Saw Palmentto. It will do the same thing just less side effects.
it doesn't do the same thing - less potent
I had to stop 2 months ago man and I feel so much better now man.
What time your side effect gone after stop finasteride ?
What is different? brain fog? libido?
any updates?
Been taking 0.5 daily for two Year. I'm 24, go to gym everyday and have a good diet. I feel asexual, like a cloud over my head. I just don't really feel 'present'. Do your own research.
Word I feel that
Maybe you can consider topical finasteride or Saw palmetto.
I wish more parents were this responsible!, too many parents don't take risks like this serious at all
But Ive taken fin for 2 weeks and I have had absolutely 0 side effects! Therefore it is safe!!!11
lol
For you maybe
I had zero side effects but I’m not sure if it works, my hairline is still receding
have you hears about hair metto though? that seems to be an effective natural product. seen a guy on youtube having great results
Robin Williams was on finsteride and he ended up having a rare form of dementia not sure if there is a link but yea.. just saying
The Kosz finasteride is part of the daily routine of most male celebs over 30... in sofia coppolas „somewhere“ there was even a scene of the hero taking a pill... so by that logic you could link finasteride to pretty much any male celebrity death.
Nonaya Beeswax he didn't say death, he just referred to the dementia that Robin Williams had
I'm on topical now and hopefully it'll work out better than ingestion. Saturating my entire body in 5ar2 blacker drug just to have some in my scalp just doesn't work out for me.
have you consider taking topical finasteride or dutasteride?
Not yet.
It just means that your male child has a lower chance of going bald if you take finastride in your system. It means you have less dht in your system meaning it will means your kid will not have less of the high level of dht flowing through his veins so when he matures he will not be bald.
It’s like cancer there are cures they just don’t want to tell us cause there’s too much money to be made with treatments
When I first started fin. No side effects. Then stopped and went back to it. Very bad side effects. Just fyi. If u stop, dont go back to it.
Thanks for sharing. What have you replaced it with?
Can you elaborate what kind of side effects? Very curious to know
Side effects was sexual, anxiety and minor depression. I stopped for 4 years now. Most sides effects are gone.
I am not taking anything now. But thinking about transplant.
What time u had side effect after stop finasteride ?
Somebody Alex Hair Regrow why is that my hair is still receding eventhough i take finasteride? Is having acid reflux cannot absorb the benefits of fin?
What shampoos do YOU use for hair loss? You should make an update video !
I hate when muthafuckas like ur shit and dont explain lol
I personally take 5 mg of Finasteride every day and have never suffered any side effects. So I personally love the drug. But I didn't hear that it may potentially cause neuro-degenerative effects, so thanks for that info. I'll google that.
My barber recommended a shampoo called Nioxin, which is supposed to prevent hair loss. Does anyone else use this shampoo? Do any of you find it effective?
5 mg for hair loss alone?
@@kpjlflsknflksnflknsa Yes, just for hair loss. I take 5 mg because I live in Canada and the 5 mg pill is covered by my health insurance plan. The 1 mg pill is not covered.
Jesus Christ. That is too much. Consult with your doctor but you should really be quartering the tablet, which is what I do.
5mg is a dose reserved for men with enlarged prostates
@@kpjlflsknflksnflknsa You're right that's a scary amount
Charles yea thats way top much, you need to quarter the pills with a pill cutter.
How long does it take once stopping Finasteride for hair to start noticeably thinning again 1Wk, a Month, 2-Months????
One question, when you stop taking finastride, will your hair fall out more ????
Thank you for doing this !
Kazi Tuta No, it just goes back to how it was before taking fin. I wanted to know this also.
I've tried everything before settling on finasteride. Tried my best to stay away from it, but realized I had no choice if I wanted to stop hairloss. So far I'm on week two so wish me luck. Good luck to you as well. You should def hop back on finasteride after your wife is pregnant!
do you see any difference after 2 weeks or not ??
@@DANKAF Going on 2.5 weeks and nothing yet. It's obviously working on blocking dht though because I can tell a significant decrease in my libido. Based off everyone else's experience I'm not expecting to see any results until I approach month 3
@@3500camarz And youre ok with that significant decrease?
@@RealDarkFilm Yes
@@RealDarkFilm I'm on day 32 and feel fine. At first I noticed a significant decrease in my libido and then I feel that my body bounced back after a couple weeks and adapted to the changes.
I've been on Propecia since 2007. No sides, just kept my hair. Thinning on top has got worse, so I got 2200 FUE grafts in. Will get 2nd procedure to lower hairline in 8 months. Fin is a miracle drug, get on it ASAP. Stay on it.
You can't make posts like this bro. Some guys have been permanently damaged by it. It may have worked for you, but do you want to have the liability if someone takes your advice and then gets fucking permanent damage? Please give out more careful advice brother. "Hey it worked for me, but it's risky so make a researched decision"
I rather take the chance. Having hair loss alters everything else like depression. I’ll do w/e it takes
Joe N yes, that is correct. But it’s significantly slowed the process down. Hanging on for future treatments
@@Alexander84 get on dut boss
@@jss.2020 would it give me better results ?
I think topical fin+ minoxidile is a better option,
Hi, did you had any side effects from Finasteride?
im transgender and im transiitoning from guy to girl, hair is the most important thing to me right now. I have been taken Biotin which has been making my hair look extremley healthy, but there is still a slight bald spot thats not terrible but id still like to get rid of it so for me the benifits of finasteride and or procepia might be worth it for me, When you were on it did you see good results are is half of why u stopped not just for your kid but because you think it wasnt worth it.
I think that’s a great move man, you’re putting what’s more important first.
Take Saw Palmetto in it raw form with minoxidil every night.. Most capsules you buy, by these hair companies, are just Saw Palmetto, Zinc, iron etc, renamed with a different label and tripled in price for us mugs to buy.
I took Fin at 0.25mg for 5 weeks. I decided to taper up to 0.5mg, so after four weeks on 0.25mg I took 0.5mg. I felt completely lethargic with brain fog the next day, the whole day, and could barely concentrate at work. I went back to 0.25mg. A few days later I had a random panic attack and I went completely off the drug after that. After a week or so, I was back to normal. I've thought about going on it again but am honestly nervous AF about the mental side effects/risks.
I took Finasteride for 3 month then stopped...5 days later my ear was ringing (tinnitus)...Fell in depression...It has been 5month with this horrible condition
Why did you stop?
So basically what you're saying is, you stopped Finasteride because of the side effects?
Tried finasteride for 8 months with a few weeks break,
and it worked, saw my hair thick and also delayed hairless.
know fin did nothing for my right hairline ( more affected than left)
but saw white jelly in my sperms, had little depression and aggression, my sex drive went high af.
I heard about biotin a natural remedy meant to help with hair grow. Not sure how long it takes to work or dosage. I am however interested in hair transplant.
Maybe you could have started applying CB-03-01 so that you wouldn’t lose the progress from Fin?
I have been on finasteride for 6 months and I am having shedding on my head hair but the surprise is in the second month I have noticed my right eyebrow is shedding too !! until this moment. the left eyebrow was fine until 2 months ago ..so what should I do? everyone is telling me what is wrong with your eyebrows!.
4 mins in and still on background info with repeated lines. People come into this video already knowing what finasteride is so just answer the questions you put on your thumbnail please
Great video, just a quick question, now that your trying to grow a beard using minoxidil are you putting 1 ml on your scalp as well as your face or have you stopped using it on your scalp and now just putting on your face.
Doin both and running out a lot quicker.
Vinny Booboo not everybody has to shave depending on if you like having it and if your job is cool with it
What does it matter being a doctor to give your opinion. They also read the info somewhere, so what makes them special? They also only have an opinion. Making such a big deal being a doctor, I have had so many bad assessments made by doctors.
Have you taken a look at stem cell Scalp injections? There has started to be a lot of promising research on this. It’s also something I’m not seeing a lot on youtube
I haven't seen the update yet on what natural supplement you are using is it that sea plant from Japan?
Haven't got time to watch the vid as i'm about to go out. What the TLDW?? PS - I stopped taking Fin about a month ago after being on it for a little over a year. Basically, I got sides (watery semen and, more worryingly, painful ejaculation.) Lots of idiots kept telling me it was just coincidence, but I stopped taking it and the painful ejaculation fixed itself within about a week. Watery semen still remains, but apparently it can take like a year to get back to normal!! In terms of hair, I did notice less shedding on fin. Certainly didn't regrow any hair hair, though. Looking into a transplant now. I'm about nw 2.5
I took Finasteride 1mg for hair loss which ruined my both kidneys ,Now doing dialysis,l have lost my life and every thing. Skin doctor had not taken any precaution test and prescribed Finasteride for six month, He cheated me....I didn't get justice at all.
Abhilash kk 🤔 hmm
Hank Hill , what do you think?
@@abhilashkk2596 what happened yer kidneys sir
I been using it at least 30 years..no problems
glad to hear you don't have any sides! has it been maintaining your hair?
@@hairliciously ...yes..but I like changing it up with dutasteride for the last 15 or more years..i been taking finasteride 5mg over 30 years..adding dutasteride .5 over 15 of the last years..also use 1 to 2% minoxidil..mix it myself..make one bottle of 5 percent into 3 bottles of 1.5 percent by adding 100 proof vodka and mixing..works fine..no problems and it maintains hair superbly..also helps with blood pressure and prostate cancer prevention and prostate enlargement
If anyone is a expert on it long term..it is probably me
@@donrice2609 did your hair grow back?
Yes...but better it has helped maintain it over the years
That's something I always worry, having children. In my case, if I stopped Finastride I'd lose a good amount of hair and I honestly don't have a good solution for that. How many months are you stopping finastride?
@Vinny Booboo That's not true. I've had one already 6 years ago. Its about keeping what you've got.
@Vinny Booboo yes, but I've shed. So no, it's not permanent. It's not all gone but compared to what it was, it's not permanent.
Vinny Booboo it is transplanted, but you will continue to lose hair where you still have hair. Unless you had your whole head transplanted but chances are he only transplanted certain areas, thus the other areas where there is still natural hair will be mpb prone
another point is not understanding why there are no more recent studies on finasteride. maybe because they would see that after all it has many side effects, in my opinion the studies are few and with few subjects in the tests, because all over the internet people talk about side effects, the most common being gynocomastia and loss of libido ..... in my view this is even worse than anabolic steroids, gyno, loss of libido, mental confusion .... everyone who took that I know who took finasteride experienced at least one of these 3 effects.
it's funny, like most of the youtube people who say that taking finasteride has no effects, but nevertheless they end up making a video where they say that after all they have colterals ,,, and in my opinion from what I have seen the most visible physical side effect it is gynocomastia .... I tell you already taking finasteride and feeling itchiness in the nipples is a sign that there is gynocomastia, many do not give importance because they do not know, but after months or years, they realize why this itching = man boobs
