NW2 diffuse thinner, 26M. 3-compound protocol for 6 months:

  • RU-58841 50mg/mL topical daily
  • Microneedling 1.5mm once weekly
  • GHK-Cu 2mg subQ 3x/week + topical post-needling

Supporting: Oral finasteride 1mg daily, ketoconazole shampoo 2x/week.

Results at 6 months: Hairline stabilized. Some vellus hairs appearing in temples. Crown thickening visible under harsh lighting. Individual strands feel thicker β€” the GHK-Cu follicle enlargement effect.

The biggest game-changer was adding GHK-Cu to needling sessions. Microneedling opens channels, GHK-Cu goes directly to the follicle stem cells.

Well-designed protocol. RU handles DHT locally, needling creates growth factor response, GHK-Cu provides stem cell activation + VEGF. How is your scalp tolerating the RU at 50mg/mL?

How do you separate the finasteride results from the RU+needling+GHK results? Finasteride alone takes 6-12 months. Your timeline suggests fin may be doing most of the heavy lifting.
