I've been using the new regiment for some time now; the Minoxidil + Finasteride mix and micro-needling.
I do not feel any systemic changes which was a huge relief, I lowered my Finasteride dose for the second bottle of Minoxidil from 30 pills to 15 pills. And I noticed just as good if not better results, my recession on both temples got new hairs popping up and slowly getting thicker... like young grass.
Seeing the results, I am pretty confident that if I started this sooner, I would have saved a lot of my hairline. Going from nothing to my previous pretty boy hairline probably won't ever happen, but we will see.
In these series of photos, you can see the new hairs in my frontal area. These hairs were super tiny and fine a couple months ago. I took a snap before I cut my hair and two more after the cut, you have the most honest results with your hair short.
Results are painfully slow, but thankfully, I did not notice a shedding. You know how everyone says things will get worse before it gets better? Either I skipped that phase or there wasn't anything there to get worse!
