Looking at other forms, I came across an interesting interview on another site, morphollica.com. Dr. Lewenberg, whose treatment I do use, talks about using stem cells in hair to reverse miniturization. I wonder what other people think about it. http://www.morphollica.com/interviews/l ...

It looks like you have some growth in the front after 3 months. Good for you! Have you tried Nizoral? I sometimes alternate it with T-Gel and it works nicely. What conditioner do you use? I started a Green-Tea condition, that works nicely. (Green Tea not only gets rid of free radicals...

Welcome to the club At least the doctor at Bosley was honest enough to tell you to do something first. If you improve the quality of your hair, you may not need the transplants at all. Minoxidil (a stimulant) and Propecia (anti-androgin) are a good start. You might want to do more...

Start combo treatment now Hairloss is progressive. The sooner you treat it the better. I suggest that you use a combination that includes 1) Anti-DHT drug. (DHT is the hormone that tells programed follicles to wither and die. Since we can't reprogram your follicles, yet anyway, kill the...

External and internal treatments You are fine with taking propecia but concerned about Minoxidil and Revivogen? :shock: Propecia is a 5-Alpha reductace inhibitor that is mainly active in your gonads. It affects your entire endocrine system, including the feedback mechanisms. You end up...

So young I certainly empithise. I started loosing hair slowly at 18. It hastened at 22 to the point that I had to change my hairstyle to cover it up. :-x While women generally preffer good hair, confidence and charisma go a long way. Many balding men are hurt by the lack of confidence...
