Finasteride didn't do shit for me except give me low energy
It's a broke homie filter

I don't know how things are in the US, since the medical industry is basically thuggery there, but implants are now more affordable than ever. You don't need to go to turkey anymore to get it at a decent price.
Finasteride is literally $10/year.
$50 if you also count the erectile dysfunction pills
>erectile dysfunction
Lol, tough luck if you're the 2% of sóyboys that get side effects.
I'll pray for you tonight, my G.

big words for a guy that takes pills for his hairloss
lol
lmao even
Big words for a guy that is more bald than my knee.
Not in burgerland. Also not available otc.
There are like 3-4 websites where you take a photo of your hair and they give you a prescription and send the shit to your door. It's not available OTC, but it's pretty damn close, bud.
Those are $320 a year if you don't threaten to transfer your prescription to a local pharmacy.
If you don't have spare $320 a year, then you got bigger problems than hair loss, my homie.
goodrx
$15 for 90 days supply at safeway
Just get an online prescription, moron.
Just order from an Indian reshipper, dumbasses
Im gonna go to turkey and get my shit filled in end of this year or early next, what am I in for? Im already on fin but it doesnt do shit, maybe it slowed the balding down but im still recessing
Looks like you got a hair transplant but they took hair from your nutsack
have you tried taking care of what you currently have? it looks like twine
>castrating yourself for this
there's a reason they usually refuse to post hair
>taking something that stops hairloss when you're already bald doesn't make you not bald
kek what a moron
>balding man trying to fix his balding is post his balding head in a bald thread
This surprises you because? I mean I know one of you is the same anon that is in EVERY hair thread that mentions fin screeching but surely there aren't two of you that aren't that mentally ill.
looks like you are screeching little buddy. take some more finstrogen and calm down.
This can't be good for your soul anon. However take solace in the knowledge that modern advances in technology will make the topic of our contention obsolete for future generation.
>modern advances in technology will make the topic of our contention obsolete for future generation.
I wish but honestly it's been fricking decades with barely any advancement in this field and the future is always gayer and more boring than you think.
>This can't be good for your soul anon
kek. because he made fun of your meds.
Bro do you even use shampoo? That hair looks like that of a corpse
If your hairline looks like this on fin it's actually over for you. Maybe try dutasteride?
How do tomboys manage to look hot even when theyre messy af? In b4 cartoon. No irl its like this with tomboys
They're God's gift to man.
he looked better bald lmao. maybe it's just the facial expression but right makes him look literally homosexual
it's the weird way it grows out close to the roots, looks like a toothbrush before it starts going in other directions
Curly hair is shit, better to be bald
Reality matters more than something fake.

it states:
>I don't care how I look, I have more important things in my life than to worry about my hair, so I continue to do the same thing I did when I was 30 till the day I die
I was ugly with hair so it's pointless anyway.
i’ve been bald for 13 years. is it even worth doing at this point?
There's dudes on reddit that managed to come back from a completely bald head to a receded hairline, so it's worth a shot.
Where can I find these success stories?
Just browse r/tressless. There's everything there. Guys that went from almost bald to a full head of hair. Indian hyperresponders. Actual trannies that desperately try to avoid wearing wigs. Guys that derma roll until their heads look like a crime scene. Guys that DRINK minoxidil and grow hair like werewolves.
Everything.
>Guys that DRINK minoxidil and grow hair like werewolves.
Really tempted to do this. I'm already very hairy and it would be cool to see how far it can go
is there something to avoid losing your hair without doing hair growth drugs or needling.
My only guess would be: don't think too much about it(invoking the reapers name or something), lower stress, sleep good, eat clean. what else, is there specific kind of food, vitamin/mineral that worked for you.
my hairline is receeding at a fricked up rate and i'm only 21. is there some way to get finasteride without a doctor's prescription in australia? or maybe an online doctor?
You can try importing fin from india. Customs won't bother checking it 9/10 times.
a legit online pharmacy prescription for fin is just a simple questionnaire. simple online doctor.
Can't wait for the shakedown when they get investigated for using chatbots instead of doctors because theyre sure as frick isn't a real person on the other end.
Yeah bro, interpol is just waiting to crack down on your $5 hair pill prescription lmao
I hate to break this to you morons but that is not a transplant. I have seen the results of transplants done by American doctors, the best you can expect. There isn't enough donor hair on the back of your head to achieve pic related. Maybe when they figure out how to clone follicles. The good news is that you can get a hair system that looks just as convincing as his for about $3000 every 3 months. This includes everything from original fitting and trimming to weekly reapplication. You'll need to have it removed at least once a week to shave the scalp and reapply adhesive. It's worth it though if you have the money.
>hair system
It's a wig
I'm starting to think out in certain areas, it only hit me in my mid 30s, I was I had gone clear. I got either get a cheap hair transplant or shave it. I am one of the lucky few who looks good with a shaved head and I normally shave it like one a year anyway.
Turns you into a troon. You're basically some plastic b***h from hollywood.
I'm not balding but my hairline is so bad being bald is a necessity
If you join the armed forces you actually get one free cosmetic sugery, including a hair transplant
The fact that you even give a shit about your hair and not shaving it off already means you're not gonna make it.
You literally have a feminine mind and attach so much self worth to your looks that you're willing to take troony drugs. lmao.
Was a chad when I had hair. Shaved my head as soon as it started going. Still a chad and get poon on the reg with no probs. Probably more so tbf
Basically, y'all are homosexuals if you give a shit about this stuff and are no different to a woman/troony. No wonder you're going impotent after taking these drugs, lol
>just go through the daily ordeal of shaving your head in order to hide your hair like a little b***h
cope. the fact that you call a literal testosterone booster a troony drug shows you're basically a woman
Seems like a confidence issue. You'll get no judgement from me if you go through with drugs/transplants to hide the fact life threw load of shit your way, but I think it just goes to show if you can't handle something this superficial in life, you probably can't handle much else. There's nothing wrong with this because I think it's normal for people to not handle most things in life.
looking like this is infinitely more masculine than getting fake hair or shaving your head
Buy an ad, mister marketer.
he went from local fishmonger to low budget gay escort
Let's take a look at this post.
1. You killed a thread for this. This is a fitness board. Going bald, or getting elective cosmetic surgery, taking medication to prevent balding, etc. are not related to fitness.
2. In fact, there are known side effects to drugs like Finasteride and Minoxidil, which are more likely to negatively affect a person's fitness than not. Getting surgery has its own risks, and if it's cosmetic, like hair transplant surgery, there are no health benefits, e.g. nothing to improve a person's fitness. People often "have to" go back multiple times for hair transplant surgery after getting their first one, meaning they're putting their health at risk each time they go under the knife/needle.
3. The guy in the photo doesn't look better with hair. Also, the lighting, angle, focal length, his expression, outfit, facial hair, are all so different in both photos that the hair is just one difference, making the comparison null and void.
4. You're not asking a question, like "how badly would my fitness routine be affected by me getting a hair transplant" or "how badly would my ability to stay healthy be affected by taking drugs like finasteride and minoxidil, seeing as their are potential side effects like damage to the heart and other organs?"
5. You're simply trying to promote hair restoration methods, as though you were a marketer or advertiser. And you're attempting to shame people who are losing their hair, to convince them that they should instead go for these elective, potentially dangerous treatments.
In conclusion, you are either a) being paid to advertise / market hair restoration treatments or b) so insecure by the brainwashing that's been done to you from the companies that profit from these treatments that you've fallen for their tricks, and you are using these treatments yourself, and the results are either not changing your life for the better, or the side effects are making your life worse, so you are trying to trick more people into doing these things so you feel like you have company.
So which is it?
I'm not OP but who does advocating for a cheap generic drug that you can buy anywhere advertise for?
the company that sells the drug would benefit from advertising it. For example, Coca Cola spends billions a year on advertising, yet a can of Coke is probably much cheaper than a single consumer sized package of min or fin.
>the company that sells the drug would benefit from advertising it
Except fin isn't made by a single company. It's out of patent and can be made by anyone.
>For example, Coca Cola spends billions a year on advertising
Yeah, for their specific brand. They don't shill for soft drinks in general
>yet a can of Coke is probably much cheaper than a single consumer sized package of min or fin
Lol, no. A generic fin tab costs like 5 cents.
>Except fin isn't made by a single company. It's out of patent and can be made by anyone.
>Yeah, for their specific brand. They don't shill for soft drinks in general
So any company that sells the drug would have a motive to advertise the drug then. What are you confused about?
>Lol, no. A generic fin tab costs like 5 cents.
multiply that by however many times you have to take it over your lifetime, times customers, etc. I'm sure it adds up to a pretty penny. Either way, are you saying that the people who sell/market fin aren't making a profit, and have no financial incentive to advertise it?
>So any company that sells the drug would have a motive to advertise the drug then. What are you confused about?
No other competitive industry does this. You'd be advertising for your competitors as much as yourself. Generic manufacturers don't use marketing at all and operate on margins that would make adverting unviable, so the only companies that come realistically do it would be the US brand names, that are far more likely to want to push their particular product (e.g. Propecia, Proscar) via doctors etc. Not just shill generic finasteride on anime message boards.
>multiply that by however many times you have to take it over your lifetime, times customers, etc. I'm sure it adds up to a pretty penny.
Yes, companies that sell products do it for a profit, obviously. Not sure what your point is.
>Either way, are you saying that the people who sell/market fin aren't making a profit, and have no financial incentive to advertise it?
No, I was rejecting your hypothesis that finasteride costs more than Coke (it doesn't). Generic manufacturers don't have incentive to market their product, their business model is based on simply manufacturing drugs created by other companies for as cheap as possible. That's why they use plain, generic packaging and don't have r&d or marketing departments.
We addressed the coke issue, shill. Now address why there was a got milk campaign, if there is no profit incentive to market a generic product like finasteride. You're not gonna keep changing the subject to my IQ, when the fact of the matter is that this is an advertising campaign designed to make men insecure about hair loss so that they'll buy your stupid products.
You're responding to two different anons. I'm the first one you quoted there. I just addressed your got milk point here:
Btw I didn't mention your IQ or create this thread. I do take finasteride but didn't fit years because I believed in the side effects people like you brought up. Wish I hadn't and had taken it earlier.
How much are you being paid to post here shill?
Nothing. Who do you think is paying me? Why are you being so weird and aggressive over people discussing a drug that benefits them?
you didn't mention my IQ but randomly keep accusing people of being shills for correcting false information
Where did I say that?
here
you started throwing insults in what previously was a civil exchange and now are compaining about it
No I didn't.
Why are you being so dishonest?
Also, this doesn't even make sense. The anon you're quoting is anti-fin and I'm "pro-fin" for lack of a better term.
nevermind then, I mixed up the quotes
you didn't adress anything, you just showed you lack mental capacity to construct or understand a simple analogy. public campain is just that, a campain, usually organized by public or non-profit organization and individual companies donating to them care more about people seeing their name being associated with the campain than the campain itself. just because you don't know such basic things and literally can't fathom a concept of discussing something without any prospect of earning a few rupees, makes me think you're probably from an indian village.
a proper analogy would be Coca Cola paying for advertising sodas in general, without mentioning the brand. jesus fricking christ
>cheap, accessible anywhere
ah shit man my analogy only addressed two of the three adjectives that the person I was responding to used. fricking forgive me. i guess this means that companies who sell fin have no incentive whatsoever to advertise. you totally annihilated me. there is no incentive whatsoever to advertise a generic drug. wooo wooo. OH FRICK PLEASE FORGIVE ME IS THE GOT MILK A GOOD ENOUGH ANALOGY YOU FRICKING DISINGENUOUS HAIR PLUG ADVERTISER?
nice damange control for the fact you're literally 75IQ. and yes, a company has literally no financial incentive to perform guerrilla marketing for a drug that's already one of the most widely used drugs in the world and is completely generic, unpatented and sold by countless other companies, they'd have to advertise the specific brand.
>why would someone advertise a cheap and accessible product?
>well, Coke does.
>HAHAHA I SAID GENERIC. ARGUMENT INVALIDATED
>ok, well what about the got milk campaign?
>HAHAHA I WON'T RESPOND TO THAT. YOU'RE 75IQ.
how much are they paying you man? you're just throwing out random insults now because you have literally no argument. are you genuinely saying that companies that sell a generic drug have no profit incentive to advertise it?
Coca Cola advertises Coca Cola, not a generic coke. it would be a proper analogy if someone started a thread trying to convince everyone that Propecia is better than any other finasteride brand. the mere fact that you're completely unable to wrap your head around this completely obvious concept, goes to show you must truly be around 75IQ
"Got milk" is a bad analogy as the dairy industry doesn't really compete on a national, let alone international level the way other industries like pharmaceuticals does. You can't go to the grocery store and buy cheap milk shipped from India, but you can order generic medications from India online that costs 10x-100x less than US pharma companies. In many cases you can just buy them from locally in the form of store brands, where the retailer has slapped their packaging on it.
So you're purporting that no one is profiting from the sale of finasteride, and therefore there is no profit incentive to advertise it?
No obviously not. I'm purporting that the companies that manufacture finasteride fall into two camps.
>Merck group that owned the patent and sell it as propecia/proscar. It's important when marketing it that that emphasis their brand. Promoting generic finasteride doesn't benefit them. They'd rather you didn't know the term "finasteride" at all and just referred to the drug by their brand name.
And
>Generic manufacturers. They produce a massive range of drugs, not just finasteride. Their business model is based on extremely low margins and keeping costs to a minimum. There's no benefit to them wasting money on marketing for one particular drug out of the hundreds they produce.
>Dude people who sell finasteride have no incentive to make people aware of their product's existence or to make men feel insecure about balding so they buy finasteride. Get a grip.
troony grooming
Interns for these companies that have nothing else to work on other than to shill their shit to morons on the Internet that believe they're interacting with actual people.
Fin and steroids brought my hair back to new
men with hair systems or whatever the newspeak for a toupee is are just like trannies and blacks. we know they are liars and they know we know but are just being polite.
the guys eyes on the right picture say as much: he is still a bald man and we know it and he knows we are just playing along.
Saw palmetto is more than enough for balding prevention
Frick big pharma
cope palmetto
more like damaged "men" on androgen-blockers and on the verge of trooning out, trying to convince other insecure men to take the same troon drugs.
why are there balding threads all over IST now? wtf?
Seems like some type of marketing campaign. It's really alarming that this spam thread hasn't been deleted yet.
A lot of balding men don't realize not going bald has been an option since the fricking 90s.
>buy fin so you can get ED then just buy viagra and then just buy blood pressure meds to fix your heart problems
Shill
I tried minoxidil it didn't work also apparently you have to use those drugs for the rest of your life if they do work which is no guarantee so what's the point?
Congrats on your advertising campaign. You posted enough confusing, irrelevant bait to make it impossible for anyone to have a legitimate discussion over the relevance of your advertising thread. This is not fitness related. Take your marketing efforts elsewhere.
No-one is advertising generic finasteride on a dead board on a site full of pajeets and incels. Stop being a moronic schizo
ask yourself, why are men so ashamed of balding that they are willing to poison themselves to regrow their hair? my point still stands, brainwashed consoomer.
Most 30yos don't have their shit together like in decades pasts so going bald after missing key milestones is basically contributing to their death spiral
nobody would care about balding if we still got married after college, we're basically living on a 10 year delay. Women slam into the wall, and men start receding before they've even found a wife.
>IST - Finasteride
>On fin
>Still see minor hair loss
Just fricking kill me please
Same. Getting on dutasteride this month. After that, I'm basically fricked. Been on fin for two years and my temple corners have still gone back more than an inch and look like frick now. I am going to get a transplant to fill in the corners, but before that I need the loss to stop somehow first. But fighting hairloss is fighting the literal fibers of your being.
Same here. I have switched to dutasteride 3 months ago after being on fin for 3 years. We have to keep struggling. The fight against the norwood reaper is endless.
I WANT TO AGE, I WANT TO GO BALD, I WANT MY SKIN TO WRINKLE WITH EACH YEAR THAT PASSES, I WANT TO LIVE AND I WANT MY BODY TO SHOW THAT I HAVE IN FACT LIVED
i usually no guard buzz my hair every saturday but i didnt feel like it this week so ill probably do it tomorrow
>Wasting a moment of thought on the aesthetic of your hair and considering yourself a man.
I started shaving my head at 20 because it's less work and less to grab onto in a fight. Any more thought than this put into hair is wasted thought. Woman shit.
It's already over for him though. He can't even manage his bodyfat %
>spends thousands of dollars and takes troony hormones to look like a boy when he could look like a natural, mature man does
this is homosexual coded behavior
The improvement in his quality of life from that change in appearance is wider far more than the few thousand for a transplant and the couple cents a day for finasteride.
Defying nature and mutilating your body to appeasing judgmental children who will just decide to judge you for something else instead is not a quality life
Stop letting people package your insecurity and sell it back to you for profit
You're entitled to your schizo philosophy but the reality is that guy will date better quality women, have better career progression, make more money, garner greater respect from his peers and have more opportunities as a result of his improved appearance.
I think Tucker Carlson is on fin too, looks too young for his age
Checked.
Can someone tell me how topical minoxidil can cause face aging? Like wrinkles nad nosalabial folds? I know there was one study with if I remember correcly concluded that minoxidil is supressing collagen production in face skin. I saw some people complaining about eye bags.I didn't notice it until I read it on the internet. I noticed puffy face at the morning though and I drink tons of water.
HairCafe guy stood oppositite to this statement saying that in the contrary minoxidil can make you look younger cause it increase elastin synthesis.
So how is it?
>>inb4
>>body dysmorphia
Minoxidil is fricking magic dude. When I first started using minoxidil I had zero expectations of that shit doing anything for me, I mean come on it's this cheap greasy liquid that you squirt on your hair, it literally seems like snake oil bullshit when you first learn about it, but it somehow fricking works. I don't know how and I don't know why, it just fricking works.
This. I still think to myself on some days that there's no way this shit actually works, but then I look through my progress pics and remind myself that it indeed just fricking works.
>tfw choose not to be bald and simply dont start balding
its that easy
