3 mos oral fin and minox spray results. Former Serioxyl user.
Currently 39y/o, been worrying about my thinning hair especially the top part which you can visibly see on the first picture (December 2025). The thinning started 2024 but not as drastic as the last quarter of last year. Been using Serioxyl since 2024 but it just lessen the hair fall but didn't really helped thicken or improved hair growth. Been using it for a year then I stopped for months because it's just too expensive. Then I noticed the hair fall advanced seeing hair fall on the shower drain and the top part thinning is becoming more obvious, so I researched and found this page and discovered about finasteride. I already know minoxidil but didn't gave a chance before since I'm already using Serioxyl. Literally biting the bullet, I bought finasteride from TGP last April of this year, followed the usual dosage that is advised here for beginners (cut tablet into 4, take 5x a week per portion) then combined it with a local brand minoxidil spray, which is alot cheaper than Serioxyl. After a month I'm noticing growth and thickening of the stands but I felt like it's a bit slow. So I changed the dosage (which is still a recommended dose) to cut 1 tablet into half, take one half every MWF while continuing minoxidil. The first picture was taken December 2025, 2nd photo June 2026 and the last one is July 2026. I accepted that the volume will not return to its original state like when I was on my 20s but I'm happy that it grew back, covering the top portion exponentially and it really gain some volume that enables me to style my hair better. Thanks to this group it really gave back my confidence, aside from doing weight training that also helps me bring back my confidence. As for side effects, I didn't experience those usual ones being cited here at all. 😊💪
