After 6 months on a regimen of Propecia, Rogaine, and Nizoral shampoo,
Martin is already showing results...

March 1, 2002
We apologize for the delay in getting these pictures up. The redesign
of the site put us a little behind schedule, and Martin had some spring
breaking to attend to, so here we are in May posting his 6 month results.
Look at the bright side, his 9 month results are only 1 month away!

Martin's
Hair Loss Fight |
 |
Since Martin's first set of images were taken in the dead of
summer, he was sporting a tan and some slightly sunbleached hair. These
newest photos are after a long dark winter, so the skin is lighter and
the hair significantly darker. He swears to us that he did not color
it. Despite this, he is showing good progress in thickening what he
already had! For six months, this is quite a nice improvement. We've
done a thumbnail comparison for you.
Each thumbnail can be clicked to view the image in high resolution full
size.
Click the baseline photo on the left, then click the 6 month photo next
to it, and compare.
We did our best to retain the exact same level of brightness and exposure
as possible. Martin did his best to take the photos in the same positions
as the baseline ones. Martin came to us planning on persuing a hair transplant.
We strongly encouraged him away from that route as his first plan of attack,
and encouraged him to use the two most proven treatments available on
the market today - Rogaine and Propecia. He made a deal with us to give
them a try for at least one year, and track his progress with photos.
Playing the odds... we were confident he'd see at least some results!

The Top Wet
Once again the color difference is rather distracting, but the increase
in hair density is obvious. As you can see in the images at the bottom,
this is just Martin's natural hair color coming through. Immediately
below are some photos of the top of his head at baseline and at 6 months,
while wet.
Martin contacted us at about the 4 month mark going half insane. He
was dealing with the inconvenience of having to apply the minoxidil
two times a day, and all the difficulties that go along with that. In
addition, he was experiencing an increase in irritation and skin problems
in the areas of application. It was all we could do to convince him
to even stick with the regimen another day longer. In the end, we are
going to have him try one of several skin conditioning treatments like
Tricomin Spray or Folligen cream to give his scalp some relief from
the rigors of Minoxidil 5%.
The Sides...
As you can see, Martin hasn't made a bunch of headway in moving
forward the temples, but a close comparison reveals that the above photos
are correct. He has increased density in the front. For those of you
who may doubt his hair color, here you can see that this is his natural
color. Note the change in eyebrow color as well from summer to winter.
We look forward to seeing Martin's 9 Month update soon!
