Originally posted on Reddit Profile: 29 years old. Male Pattern Baldness affecting mostly the temples and some overall density. My Regimen (4 Months In): Oral Finasteride: 1mg daily. Topical Minoxidil: 5% (50mg/g) Foam daily. Dermarolling: None. The Experience: I have noticed zero side effects so far. However, the topical foam makes my hair look greasy, so I am considering reducing the Minoxidil application to once every two days. The Goal: I am slowly preparing for a hair transplant to lower/fix the hairline, using the medication to stabilize the rest. What do you think of the progress so far?
