Before and after photos using Finasteride and Minoxidil.
February 27, 1998 – Notes: Start of treatment. (Propecia daily, Rogaine 5% twice daily.)
July 17, 1998 – Notes: Stopped Rogaine 5%.
September 25, 1998 – Notes: Started Rogaine 5% again on 10/31/98.
August 6, 1999 – Notes: Started Community Drug 15% Minoxidil Cream on temples twice daily
on 9/29/99. Switched to Community Drug 5% Minoxidil Solutions (similar to Xandrox) on 10/30/99.
December 10, 1999 – Notes: Temples not receding, 15% Minoxidil Cream in hair at hairline.
Switched to Proscar 12/18/99. (1.25mg)
April 14, 2000 – Notes: Stopped 15% Minoxidil Cream on 2/3/00. Discontinued Community Drug 5%
Minoxidil Solutions and switched back to Rogaine 5% on 2/18/00. (Reason: These specially compounded
medicines were too expensive and too difficult to obtain. There wasn't any noticeable increase in benefit
anyway!) Thickness may have been compromised by switching medicines. We'll see in the next few months
if thickness returns.
January 26, 2001 – Notes: Switched to Fincar 7/15/00. (1.25mg) Appears that prior thickness has returned.
February 20, 2002 – Notes: Started using digital camera.
