Long Term Maintenance, Slight Regrowth
Overview:
Propecia's claim to fame is maintenance.
83% of men studied were able to maintain their original
hair count, and 64% experienced regrowth after 2 years.
Propecia does this by inhibiting the creation of DHT in
your system. If you are trying to regrow large amounts
of lost hair, you should consider a combination regimen

Stimulating Regrowth
Overview:
Minoxidil's claim to fame is stimulating
growth. 59% experienced increased hair-count after 4 month
of use. Minoxidil does not inhibit one of the main causes
of thinning hair, DHT. Minoxidil products should be used
in conjunction with other treatments like Propecia, if
you are trying to regrow a significant amount of hair.
May also be a good hair maintenance tool on its own.

Lasercomb is FDA approved as a cosmetic device for thickening
the appearance of hair, and is currently undergoing testing
as a bonafide hair growth stimulant. It is used by many of
our users as an adjunct to a clinically proven treatment regimen.

Simply put, this product is amazing. Its
available for use in both men and women, and when applied
to the hair, will literally conceal any thinning hair you
may have. The amazing part about this product is that it actually
looks real, and it's not the useless "spray-on-hair"
we've all heard about. Check out the before and after photos

Overview:
COUVRe is great alone or in conjunction
with Toppik. Its main purpose is to be applied directly
to the scalp to help reduce contrast in colors between
the hair, and the skin showing through. Another great
concealer product that many of our users swear by.

For Use In:
Men
Women
User Rating:
Treatment Type:
DHT Inhibitor
Anti-Inflammatory
Growth Stimulant
Antiandrogen
SOD
Main Purpose:
Long Term Maintenance, better regrowth
than Propecia
Overview:
Dutasteride is the newest treatment
on the market that may soon be approved by the FDA for
treatment of hair loss. It is in the class of DHT inhibitors,
however it inhibits both types of 5-Alpha enzyme whereas
Propecia inhibits only one. Men experienced 50% more regrowth
on Dutasteride than on Propecia, however there is no established
side effects statistics for Dutasteride at this time.
This may be a significant issue.
