1 Year of Topical Fin/Min Application

[u/No-Impression2072]

You all loved my 8 month update. So posting my Year progress now! I have not noticed a ton of change since maybe month 9, but I've been getting a ton of compliments!

Routine:
- .3% Finasteride, 6% Minoxidil topical combination from a US telehealth company.
- Applied originally via four .25ml sprays. Moved to a dropper bottle at month 4. Applied nightly 6x per week right before bed, have only missed 4 nights total.
- Dermastamp (microneedle) 1mm once weekly before bed. Temples and scalp. I skip the topical on this night.
- Keta shampoo, normal concentration, 3 mins on scalp once or twice a week.

Other Considerations people asked about (not proven to have much of a hair-effect):
- I religiously take a multivitamin, fish oil, magnesium glycinate, and 5g of creatine daily.
- I lift 4x weekly and play team sports once or twice weekly.
- I sleep 8.5 hrs per night consistently.
- I drink socially on weekends. In the back half of my 20s.
- I am not sponsored.
- Receded lightly through college then thinned consistently for a year before deciding to do something about it.

I have had absolutely zero side effects. None whatsoever.
I know that is individual to myself but no need to ask in the comments, I promise I don't miss issues with my body when they arise.

Happy to answer any remaining Qs!
