8-month progress update
After 8 months on treatment, I thought I’d share my progress since I found posts like these really helpful when I was starting.

Routine:
1 mg finasteride every other day
2.5 mg oral minoxidil daily
1 mm dermastamp once a week
Daily scalp massage
Trichometrics to track it

Overall, I’m really happy with the results so far. My hair looks noticeably fuller, my temples have improved, and styling my hair has become much easier. I haven’t experienced any noticeable side effects from the treatment.

I’m planning to stick with the same routine and see how much more improvement I can get over the next several months.

Feel free to ask any questions. Progress pictures are attached.

8 month progress on 2.5mg oral min + fin EOD
My routine for the last 8 months:
2.5mg oral min daily
1mg fin every other day
Daily scalp massage
Weekly 1mm dermaroller
The before pics were with shorter hair, so I know the longer hair in the after photos helps a bit, but the density and overall hair quality definitely improved too. My hair feels much thicker and healthier now, especially under harsh lighting.
Had very mild shedding early on but no major side effects otherwise. Pretty happy with the progress so far.
Went from 55 score to 82 which is pretty decent, I
still want to do an HT just to fix the hairline and crown
and close the bald spots but overall im very happy with the results
