Yes! Thank you! I've noticed a trend where people are accepting overharvested donor as a normal and even expected thing. "It's just shock loss, it will grow back". It CAN grow back, if it wasn't damaged with fue punch, but if it was - game over. No amount of Minoxidil would revive them.
I was looking to get a hair transplant but then I came across this channel and the way they explained stuff about Minoxidil and Finasteride helped me choose that as a treatment. I’ve been on both for nearly a year and the results have been amazing! Going to do a 1 year update next month! Thanks Guys!
If you use minoxidil in that safe area, can you stop using it without losing hair? I mean lose, not shed. Thanks doc for your input, very much appreciated!
Hello Doctor Vikram! Could you please let me know the difference between minoxdil and hair serums? Which is more effective for hair growth after hair transplant?
I was wondering if you could make a video about a study that was conducted in 2003 by the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial with regard to the increased incidence of high-grade cancer with the finasteride group as opposed to the placebo group. The study was updated in 2019 and those who published in the original study now state that "the early concerns regarding an association between finasteride and an increased risk of high-grade prostate cancer have not been borne out." Medical professionals who are vehemently against the use of finasteride for both androgenic alopecia and the prevention of prostate cancer seem to be against its use because it may mask the true PSA level of a person who is using the drug. Could you tell me whether the drug actually causes the cancer itself or if it simply masks one's PSA level and thus prevents a user of finasteride from treating the cancer before it becomes quite apparent that one has been afflicted by the disease? Recently, I have contemplated using the drug finasteride to combat hair loss and would like to use it 3 times a week as you doctors suggest. I am 30 years old and have told my general practitioner that I plan to take finasteride but before I do I wanted to take a PSA blood test so she gave me a requisition to go to a lab and get the test done. Once I start to take the drug how often should I have a PSA test conducted (yearly, every six months)? I have no family history of prostate cancer so I presume that is a good thing before contemplating the use of finasteride.
thanks for the information Dr Jayaprakash. Im a doctor myself and have often asked my dermat colleagues about the effects of dutasteride on beard growth and rounding of the facial due to increased estrogen ( according to how the hormone cascade works ) . Relative to their experience , they havent heard of patients complaining of feminization( atleast noticeable characteristics ) but they had definitely seen reduction of facial hair in patients using the drug for 6 months and more. obviously this is anecdotal evidence , and there is no research to back them , but i would like your take on the matter . P.S : I am a dutasteride user too ( 3 days of fin 1mg + 0.5mg of dut ) a week.
Hey guys I've been watching and love your videos. Could you please do a video on hairlines? e.g How transplanted hairlines should look, how high or low to place a hairline, how to correct a hairline that is too forward, making a hairline that will age well, etc. I've recently had a hair transplant and I'm really concerned that my hairline was actually too far forward and I'm unsure of what my options are for correction (if there even are any). Does laser hair removal work on transplanted hair? Do the frontal grafts need to be transplanted again? There's not much info on the internet.
The only hope this person has is to wait for hair cloning to thicken the donor region or do a transplant from the beard to donor region of the scalp. That will fill in the thinned sections. Worst thing to do is remove hairs. If hairs are damaged say from inflammation, in that instance there's even a better chance at regenerating those hairs as if there's any part of the mechanism of the hair still there there could be a possibility of recovery over time, especially if sebaceous glands and bulge cells are present to some degree.
Could you do a video on heredity? I've got great uncles who went bald, but my uncles, grandparents and father are all fine. My dermatologist said this means I'm low risk, and that 3rd degree relatives don't matter much. Is this true?

I hv been using minoxidil for 8 months and I got an awesome density.. and now for 1 month approx I am facing a severe hair shedding.. 80 to 90 hairs per day is falling..it is like all hair which I have gaind will go in very short period.. I stopped using minoxidil.. Now I am only taking finestride and vitamin tablet.. Now what should I do? Plz help me
Its a temporary phase. Lower the dose but never stop using it. The life time of the hair you gained by minoxidil is depends on people but mostlt 8-10 months. Which means you will have that shedding phase in every 10 months but then the hair eill grow back as long as you use the minoxidil
Idea for a show. Is it a good idea combining oral and topical finasteride. eg 1mg oral daily + x-amount on scalp to target problem areas. Obviously the topical fin in this example could be combined in a minoxidil solution

If struggling for donor grafts, Why couldn't we say use minoxidil on the beard and chest for a while stimulating new growth there as I've heard these gains are permanent and then transplant them onto the scalp? Just creating more donor to add?

Is there anything I can do? HT in those areas? RU, CB? pls Doctor talk about the sides. I know I am not the only one with this issue.
If you had FUT usually there’s patches around the strip scar (shock loss maybe due to the trauma of the incision) that makes it look wider, what about using Minoxidil on the scar to accelerate the growth and thickening of the hair around the scar to cover it?

What would be your recommendation regarding this??

See if u can get prp treatments it really works great. I don't think age would be a factor either but I'm not sure. I had a similar problem lost all my hair at 21. It really sucks.
I need a small transplant at my temples area. Aged 35. Maybe around 2000 hairs/800 grafts. Would FUE be okay? or would it still be better to do FUT to preserve donor area for further transplant(s) to address further thinning over time?
Hi, I am currently on Finasteride (for 4 months). I have been thinking about going on Minoxidil. Should I wait at least until a year has gone with Finasteride (to see how that works) and then decide whether if I want to get on Minoxidil? Thanks.
Use the fin for a year and go from there, I'm on fin for 6 months now and I'm satisfied with the results so far. I used min twice and I couldn't stand the side effects I had, mainly increased heart rate made me feel very anxious

I should really do something or else it will get even worse and i will be more depressed than iam now but iam confused on what to do. Please tell me your opinion...I will be waiting for your reply...Big fan here✌. (NB:-Sorry for my bad english) Edit:- I have some questions also. Q1) Will starting finasteride at this age affect my beard growth? Q2) Will starting finasteride at this age affect my mental health? Q3) Will starting finasteride at this age affect my studies because of the side effects like brain fog etc? Please consider this comment and please reply to this because it's very important to me. Thanking you in advance❤.
I am 3 and half months into using finasteride and minoxidil. I started just before i turned 18. I have had no side effects so far, no effects on mental health or on my studies at school. I dont know about beard growth (i haven't noticed any change) since i started. I would suggest starting both minoxidil and finasteride as they have both reduced my hair loss a lot. When i started i was losing 20-25 hairs in the shower and another 20-25 when applying minoxidil. Now i lose maybe 3 at the most (including shower and applying minoxidil). You have a much greater chance of slowing down your hair loss significantly if you use both instead of just 1.

Hey hi doc Vikram, I have an interesting question, Does going on keto diet and loosing weight affect the transplanted hair?..does this have an impact as such.
Started taking finasteride 1mg/daily. Noticed a dull pain in upper chest near armpit and down the outer side of it. At first I thought it was from the gym but the pain feels like it’s in my lymph nodes. It’s this a sign or gyno? In its early stages. No pain in nipple, excuse my lack of knowledge however I think the increase in oestrogen may be causing some sort of pain in these areas like that experienced in women like PMS. Is this something to be worried about? Will it subside as my body adjusts to the increase in oestrogen. Or is it early gynecomastia
Can minoxidil be used in pregnancy and lactation period. If can not use then What can a woman use in her pregnancy and lactation who has Andrological alopecia?
Hell Dr. , I am a 33 years old female, I have normal range of testosterone hormone , but have hair loss at crown area of scalp Can I use spironolactone 100 mg per day or not ??
Hello, I am a 32-year-old female. I started minoxidil six months ago. I am pleased with the re-growth. I am planning to get off of birth control at the beginning of 2022 and hope to conceive. I realize there has not been a study on minoxidil and pregnancy. As I have a full year, I am wondering your thoughts on if I should get off minoxidil before I get off birth control, or would it be fine to stay on minoxidil until I become pregnant (realizing it can take months or years to conceive)? How long does the hair that has been regrown with minoxidil have after I stop using(would it be better to just get off now, stop the hair regrow the journey until after I deliver and stop breast feeding in 2023/2024? I am perfectly happy to continue using it for the rest of my life, but I realize I’ll ought to stop while pregnant and breast-feeding. Honestly, I wish they were a study so that I could just know if I could stay on or use have to do this or something like that. Thank you for the thoughts. -Revka.

I take lymecycline for acne treatment and I want to start taking finasteride but I’m not sure if mixing the two is a bad idea or whether it could cause an reactions/ side effects. Do you have any advice or knowledge on this topic?
in theory it would work becuase it will get blood flowing on the scalp but would also need to do it for a while and every day to see minimal results, more of an addon
If you don't treat the root cause of your hair loss no matter how much you rub your scalp your hair will fall out, use finasteride to limit the conversion of testosterone to DHT, RU58841 (not FDA approved) is optional its a very strong androgen blocker on the area applied, derma rolling x1 per week, and minoxidil x1 per day, along with steroxedyl (optional) is the ultimate hair loss/regrowth stack. and for Shampoo ketoconazole 2% shampoo Nizoral (shittier cheaper option) or Regenpure DR better shampoo but only 1% ketoconazole.
Doc I would be glad if u could answer my question. Its off the topic but I need to know. Im taking 0.5mg of finastride every other day. Do u think it will be effective at that dose?
Hello Dr, Thanks for the informative show. Am in a region where I can’t get Finasteride 1mg, can I use the 5mg Finasteride drugs (which is readily available in here) and divide each tablet into 2 for daily dosage(2.5mg each). Will it work to stabilize my balding?
It depends on people. Some people manage to stop hairloss with 0.5mg but some people doesnt get any benefit by using 5mg a week. It all depends on you, doctors cant know which dose you need. They will tell you to use "use 1mg every other day, if you get side effects, lower the dose. If you dont get side effects and it doesnt work for you, higher the amount you take". Thats the system so far i observes
Doctor,may I know is minoxidil will going to the second shed? I been used minoxidil for 6months and I realized my hair fall getting serious recently...is that the second shed happen?
I have important questions about minoxidil. If I have good results and regrowth after use minox, what is going to be when I stop use it? all hairs which regrowth thanks minox will be lost? I use 1 mg finasteride every day.
Hi Doctor! Is it possible that dutasteride didn't lower my serum dht? I've done testing and it's level is >2500 pg/ml. I'm so worried and don't know what to do
I dont have a transplant I just recently started seriously caring about thining of my hair. I tried minoxidil but it caused fingers on my hands to swell. Does that mean it is just not for me?
Yes essentially. The only different between the two would just be the shape of extraction. The process would be the same and as a result you would still be left with the same issue (if over harvesting occured)
Hey, I'm blocking DHT with Finasteride for 10 months now (blood test DHT levels are very low) but still I have a significant amount of miniaturized hair falling out of my scalp daily. What else could cause my follicles to miniaturize? I greatly appreciate your input here!
Can you help please! I’m 40+ and started have been using minoxidil for a year now. And in 2019 i was using laser comb but in 2020 summer i stopped using it. I used to keep my hair very short for 10 years and since March 2020 I started growing it. Last 2-3 month I’ve noticed that my hair is shedding a lot every morning when I comb or touch but I also noticed that i have a lot of short hair growing at the same time. Is this normal or I need to do something to my hair?
Hello doc, I am using minoxidil (Every evening) + finasterid (3x/week) since 4 months. My hair is getting better but I still have shedding spots. I don’t know if I have to continue with minoxidil because it feels like some area of hair are good and some are shedded. What would you suggest, or you guys? I also have thin hair all over my head also sides and back. I got thinner browns, beard and body hair as well. It’s seems like something is wrong with my hormones. I did a blood test but iron and all other stuff are good.
I have a doubt, can a DHT affect the side head and back head also? I'm on finastride about a month and now I'm using minoxidil on the top of my head ,but my whole head hair density is reducing ,I'm 20 only now , what can I do can someone please tell me about that.
Ensure u don't have dandruff, it destroys hair roots, shave ur hair and do pinching massage ,start with 5 mins twice or thrice a day and keep increasing the time, when ur head skin gets used to pinching massage increase ur time to 30 mins twice daily. Use Nigella seed oil....keep doing this for six months...ur hair will stop falling and start growing
Don't do it. Due to shedding it can create a negative illusion and surgeon would want to implant more in between which in turn can pretty much kill your native hair.
I am 19.5 years should I get my transplant in January or February when I get a bite more bald. YES I need to do the transplant because of Modelling I am informed After that I statt treatment
@@Hackhamster You really have to stop your hair loss before getting a hair transplant. Finasteride should be your friend if you're losing much hair at young age. If you do your HT now and fail to stop it, you might end up in a very bad situation with a little bit of hair in the front with nothing behind it.
My family is almost everywhere Norwood 1-3, my father is Norwood 1, ////// I use then alfatradiol + minoxidil + fluridil///// cant use finasteride I had post finasteride syndrom for 7 months due to taking it 2 weeks.

Can you transplant hairs between existing hairs in a recipient area that is thinning but not yet bald?
Hey, What are side effects of Minoxidil & Finasteride topical version?
Hey I know myself, and many others, really appreciate all you do. Could you make a video addressing teenage balding (I’ve started losing hair at 15) or if you see this give as best advice as you can? I went to one dermatologist who diagnosed Telogen Effluvium, but to my understanding Telogen Effluvium is not progressive, unlike the hair loss I’m experiencing. Thanks so much!
See if u can get prp treatments it really works great. I don't think age would be a factor either but I'm not sure. I had a similar problem lost all my hair at 21. It really sucks.
@@jqahir prp doesn’t really work
I need a small transplant at my temples area. Aged 35. Maybe around 2000 hairs/800 grafts. Would FUE be okay? or would it still be better to do FUT to preserve donor area for further transplant(s) to address further thinning over time?
Hello, what do you think about saw palmetto like DHT blocker.
Hi, I am currently on Finasteride (for 4 months). I have been thinking about going on Minoxidil. Should I wait at least until a year has gone with Finasteride (to see how that works) and then decide whether if I want to get on Minoxidil? Thanks.
Use the fin for a year and go from there, I'm on fin for 6 months now and I'm satisfied with the results so far. I used min twice and I couldn't stand the side effects I had, mainly increased heart rate made me feel very anxious
I had a hair transplant 30 years ago. I'm 60 now and the hair on my sides is starting to thin. As a result it is starting to thin on top. I'm worried this will male the plugs visible. Will Minoxidil help?
Talk about Eucapil and Botox for hair loss please.
What is Eucapil? And what does botox do for hairloss? In what mechanism?
Hi, Iam only 19 years old and i have hair loss iam maybe at NW2 or something. Can i start using finasteride? Or am i too young for that? Or Should i start with minoxidil? I should really do something or else it will get even worse and i will be more depressed than iam now but iam confused on what to do. Please tell me your opinion...I will be waiting for your reply...Big fan here✌.
(NB:-Sorry for my bad english)
Edit:- I have some questions also.
Q1) Will starting finasteride at this age affect my beard growth?
Q2) Will starting finasteride at this age affect my mental health?
Q3) Will starting finasteride at this age affect my studies because of the side effects like brain fog etc?
Please consider this comment and please reply to this because it's very important to me. Thanking you in advance❤.
I am 3 and half months into using finasteride and minoxidil. I started just before i turned 18. I have had no side effects so far, no effects on mental health or on my studies at school. I dont know about beard growth (i haven't noticed any change) since i started. I would suggest starting both minoxidil and finasteride as they have both reduced my hair loss a lot. When i started i was losing 20-25 hairs in the shower and another 20-25 when applying minoxidil. Now i lose maybe 3 at the most (including shower and applying minoxidil). You have a much greater chance of slowing down your hair loss significantly if you use both instead of just 1.
@@arranjakhu7607 okk brother iam also using minoxidil and Finasteride from past 2 months. Which brand of minoxidil and Finasteride are you using ? And how many times you are applying minoxidil 1or 2times?
@@farjadsiddiqui8201 I live in the UK and get my minoxidil and Finasteride from a UK hair loss company called Sons. I use minoxidil once a day, usually in the evening. I also only use finasteride 3 times a week (monday, wednesday and friday).
@@arranjakhu7607 okk so dermatologist has prescribed you? I am using Finasteride everyday right now. Till how much time you will use both ?
@@farjadsiddiqui8201 Yes I did an online consultation. These two doctors on the hair loss show recommend taking finasteride 3 times a week as it will have the same results as taking it every day and reduces risk of side effects.
I'll keep using finasteride and minoxidil for the foreseeable future.
Still waiting on the gyno video you mentioned would be uploaded
What if i am using demoroller and minoxidil and i decide to stop minoxidil and continue just with the demoroller , will my hair still fall off?
Dr I want to know if minoxidil can stop being used once transplanted hair have grown or is it a lifetime thing
Sir what is the right age to start minoxidil is there is any alternatives for male pattern baldness other than minoxidil
hi dr., can you make a video about redensyl?
Does it matter what time you take finasteride at? I was thinking of taking it at night to not experience the drowsiness or the testicles aching.
Guys have you talked about PRP? yet
Doc do you use minoxidil?
Hey hi doc Vikram, I have an interesting question, Does going on keto diet and loosing weight affect the transplanted hair?..does this have an impact as such.
Started taking finasteride 1mg/daily. Noticed a dull pain in upper chest near armpit and down the outer side of it. At first I thought it was from the gym but the pain feels like it’s in my lymph nodes. It’s this a sign or gyno? In its early stages. No pain in nipple, excuse my lack of knowledge however I think the increase in oestrogen may be causing some sort of pain in these areas like that experienced in women like PMS. Is this something to be worried about? Will it subside as my body adjusts to the increase in oestrogen. Or is it early gynecomastia
Can minoxidil be used in pregnancy and lactation period. If can not use then What can a woman use in her pregnancy and lactation who has Andrological alopecia?
Hell Dr. ,
I am a 33 years old female, I have normal range of testosterone hormone , but have hair loss at crown area of scalp
Can I use spironolactone 100 mg per day or not ??
Hello, I am a 32-year-old female. I started minoxidil six months ago. I am pleased with the re-growth. I am planning to get off of birth control at the beginning of 2022 and hope to conceive. I realize there has not been a study on minoxidil and pregnancy. As I have a full year, I am wondering your thoughts on if I should get off minoxidil before I get off birth control, or would it be fine to stay on minoxidil until I become pregnant (realizing it can take months or years to conceive)? How long does the hair that has been regrown with minoxidil have after I stop using(would it be better to just get off now, stop the hair regrow the journey until after I deliver and stop breast feeding in 2023/2024? I am perfectly happy to continue using it for the rest of my life, but I realize I’ll ought to stop while pregnant and breast-feeding. Honestly, I wish they were a study so that I could just know if I could stay on or use have to do this or something like that. Thank you for the thoughts. -Revka.
if l get a hair transplant and after years l lose remaining untransplanted hair l will need to transplant again? how does that work? because lm 22 and situation is not that bad
I'd rather over harvest the back and rock a O shave on back and sides so it wouldn't be noticeable. Having a good head of hair on top is what matters most
I take lymecycline for acne treatment and I want to start taking finasteride but I’m not sure if mixing the two is a bad idea or whether it could cause an reactions/ side effects. Do you have any advice or knowledge on this topic?
Can i take minoxidil and dutasteride pills simultaneously in the morning? Or that will cause some issues? Thanks guys!
Will the removed hair regrow in the donor area, if the technique used was DHI? If yes, in how much time would it regrow?
Nope
I was wondering if massaging scalp helps to stimulate hair follicles or it's just a waste of time. It was never mentioned here.
in theory it would work becuase it will get blood flowing on the scalp but would also need to do it for a while and every day to see minimal results, more of an addon
If you don't treat the root cause of your hair loss no matter how much you rub your scalp your hair will fall out, use finasteride to limit the conversion of testosterone to DHT, RU58841 (not FDA approved) is optional its a very strong androgen blocker on the area applied, derma rolling x1 per week, and minoxidil x1 per day, along with steroxedyl (optional) is the ultimate hair loss/regrowth stack. and for Shampoo ketoconazole 2% shampoo Nizoral (shittier cheaper option) or Regenpure DR better shampoo but only 1% ketoconazole.
@@coolstuff7372 Thank you, appreciate it.
Doc I would be glad if u could answer my question. Its off the topic but I need to know. Im taking 0.5mg of finastride every other day. Do u think it will be effective at that dose?
Hi....1 query..can I use minoxidil in transplant area post hear transplant ??
Hello Dr,
Thanks for the informative show. Am in a region where I can’t get Finasteride 1mg, can I use the 5mg Finasteride drugs (which is readily available in here) and divide each tablet into 2 for daily dosage(2.5mg each). Will it work to stabilize my balding?
It depends on people. Some people manage to stop hairloss with 0.5mg but some people doesnt get any benefit by using 5mg a week. It all depends on you, doctors cant know which dose you need. They will tell you to use "use 1mg every other day, if you get side effects, lower the dose. If you dont get side effects and it doesnt work for you, higher the amount you take". Thats the system so far i observes
Doctor,may I know is minoxidil will going to the second shed? I been used minoxidil for 6months and I realized my hair fall getting serious recently...is that the second shed happen?

Hi doc I have a question regarding finasteride; is it true that taking it in your late teens may stop your physical development?
I. Started using it since i was 18 yrs and 7 months old
I have important questions about minoxidil. If I have good results and regrowth after use minox, what is going to be when I stop use it? all hairs which regrowth thanks minox will be lost? I use 1 mg finasteride every day.
Hi Doctor! Is it possible that dutasteride didn't lower my serum dht? I've done testing and it's level is >2500 pg/ml. I'm so worried and don't know what to do
Would i lose any ground switching from Finasteride to Dutasteride?
Would also like to know
If i use minoxidil on the crown area, will the shedding phase effect the front area of the scalp? Thanks in advance
I dont have a transplant I just recently started seriously caring about thining of my hair. I tried minoxidil but it caused fingers on my hands to swell. Does that mean it is just not for me?
try 1x a day, I dont know man, if the side effect is not too bad you can still use it?
Is the same case with FUT and FUE ?
Yes essentially. The only different between the two would just be the shape of extraction. The process would be the same and as a result you would still be left with the same issue (if over harvesting occured)
Hey, I'm blocking DHT with Finasteride for 10 months now (blood test DHT levels are very low) but still I have a significant amount of miniaturized hair falling out of my scalp daily. What else could cause my follicles to miniaturize? I greatly appreciate your input here!
If you are stressed that might cause it aswell (but if they grow back, after stress is over) or your diet might be bad
Saw pallmeto is a good alternative for finasteride?
No

I had minoxidil sheds within 2 weeks and around 5 months. After every shed I had new gains.
Can you help please! I’m 40+ and started have been using minoxidil for a year now. And in 2019 i was using laser comb but in 2020 summer i stopped using it. I used to keep my hair very short for 10 years and since March 2020 I started growing it. Last 2-3 month I’ve noticed that my hair is shedding a lot every morning when I comb or touch but I also noticed that i have a lot of short hair growing at the same time. Is this normal or I need to do something to my hair?
Can you where a hat before minoxidil has completely settled in?
Hello doc, I am using minoxidil (Every evening) + finasterid (3x/week) since 4 months. My hair is getting better but I still have shedding spots. I don’t know if I have to continue with minoxidil because it feels like some area of hair are good and some are shedded. What would you suggest, or you guys? I also have thin hair all over my head also sides and back. I got thinner browns, beard and body hair as well. It’s seems like something is wrong with my hormones. I did a blood test but iron and all other stuff are good.

Did you stop taking finasteride or did you get your erections back?

Ensure u don't have dandruff, it destroys hair roots, shave ur hair and do pinching massage ,start with 5 mins twice or thrice a day and keep increasing the time, when ur head skin gets used to pinching massage increase ur time to 30 mins twice daily.
Use Nigella seed oil....keep doing this for six months...ur hair will stop falling and start growing

I am having a hairtransplant in 2-3 months is it worth starting minoxidil or let me get more bald? Currently a bit loosing
Don't do it. Due to shedding it can create a negative illusion and surgeon would want to implant more in between which in turn can pretty much kill your native hair.
@@MrRolandas I stopped minox 1.5months ago, used for 4months worked good, but thanks!
I am 19.5 years should I get my transplant in January or February when I get a bite more bald. YES I need to do the transplant because of Modelling I am informed After that I statt treatment
@@Hackhamster You really have to stop your hair loss before getting a hair transplant. Finasteride should be your friend if you're losing much hair at young age.
If you do your HT now and fail to stop it, you might end up in a very bad situation with a little bit of hair in the front with nothing behind it.
