I picked up the 2% here in the U.S. after getting a prescription. If your bottle looks like this then you probably have the same stuff.

I have been using Tricomin for a couple of months, but just once a day. The product literature really doesn't give any specific guidance as to the frequency. The directions state, "Condition and treat your hair and scalp daily by spraying liberally after shampooing. May be applied to damp or dry...

FWIW, this is what ended up happening. I received some resistance from Lexington for my request of another replacement comb. They were convinced I had done the damage to the comb and did not want to send another unit to me. After several emails/calls they reluctantly agreed to refund my...

If you want to try something less greasy than Rogaine you may want to check out Dr. Lee's "500" minoxidil. Posts here indicate it dries much quicker than Rogaine. I have been using Revivogen for almost two months, it is quite greasy!

Last Friday Lexington received the comb I returned (second one I had to return for the "crack problem"). Received an email from Lexington yesterday claiming "It appears your LaserComb was damaged by you after receipt. The cracks in the window were clearly caused by the teeth being broken off...

I returned the second one (that arrived with the "cracks" in the window) and am waiting for the replacement to arrive. If you are interested in a refurbished model you can just call and ask for it. Although after my experience I am not sure if it is worth it. :-x

Consider buying a refurbished comb directly from Lexington. I paid $500, comparable to what they were going for on Ebay. You get the bonus of the warranty.

Are you using Nizoral? Information I received when prescribed 2% Nizoral indicates a possible side effect of "scalp pustules" (pimples).

I pay $145.67 for the ProPak at Costco. Comes to $48.55 a month, this is the cheapest I have found it.

I picked up a prescription for the 2% while at the doctor yesterday. Can buy it at the hospital's pharmacy for $10 (4oz). I also have the 1% 7oz size, believe it is about $14 at WalMart. Used the 2% last night, think I will alternate between the two.

I'll keep you guys posted, hope to receive an undamaged comb sometime next week.

This was my main concern, especially if the cracks start to spread out as one appears to be doing. I like your suggestion of not signing for the package if it arrives damaged.

Return Thanks for the advice guys, I will ship it back tommorow. I was pretty dissapointed today when this cracked one arrived, it's hard to imagine that two were damaged in transit. I'll call and ask David for speedy delivery. $500 is a lot of money, guess I will just keep sending them back...

I puchased a refurbished lasercomb a few weeks ago. I noticed the comb that was sent to me had a couple of cracks in the window that covers the laser light between the teeth. I returned that comb and was sent a replacement that I received today. This comb is worse, it has four cracks! :-x...

I have been using Revivogen for a month, too early to determine its effectiveness. I don't find the smell to be that bad, and I have not had any itchy scalp side effects. I also started Tricomin at the same time, that may be preventing any scalp problems. I don't know if I will continue using...
