I don't think I can do anything that will NOT harm my micropigments. Originally, went from 2x per day to 1x per day on the Minoxidil because it did not improve things over the years and wasn't even sure it was maintaining. Then, after going down to 1x per day on Minoxidil over the next 18...

Thanks for the replies. I am wondering if I made an error in judgment by assuming that Finasteride losing its effectiveness 1.25 mg per day was the cause of my perceived additional loss when it was really the decrease of Minoxidil down from 2x to 1x per day. Maybe I mistakenly went to 2.5 mg...

I have been on a maintenance dose of Rogaine Foam 1x per day for around 18 months. I went to this dosage based on the thought that minoxidil has a 22 hour half-life, and I am not certain that I ever saw any benefits from the drug anyway at 2x per day. Nevertheless, my hair has maintained or...

If you are considering scalp micropigmentation, please take note that it has been my experience that minoxidil foam will cause the pigmentation to fade and/or turn to a premature "blue/green" hue in areas where applied. It does not matter if you resume using the minoxidil foam during the...

Does anyone know anything about the viability and stability of turning Rogaine Foam into liquid by gently heating it and then storing the liquid for future use? Perhaps this is a question for Bryan. :dunno:

Did you inquire about this procedure with Dr. Hitzig or Dr. Cooley? I would contact the other of the two and see what they can tell you. Also, you may want to contact Dr. Greco. Dr. Hitzig stated in his interview with Spencer Kobren on Bald Truth Talk that he is more than willing to teach...

Now we just have to wonder when Costco or Sam's will get the UNSCENTED version of the 4-Pack? :punk:

Anybody?

Will increasing the daily finasteride dosage from 1.25 mg to 2.5 mg cause a new shedding cycle to occur as result of the higher dose?

Any luck on the itch?

Thanks guys. I was on 1 mg (Propecia) Finasteride for a year, then switched to 1.25 mg Proscar about 6 months ago. Seems like I shed every three months on 1 mg Finasteride during the first year (with periods of notable improvement), and I am now shedding pretty good after being on 1.25 mg of...

Thanks for the response. This has been happening with the Foam for 2 years or more. I am mostly concerned by the various lengths of the hairs that I find in my hands after application. Is this just shedding or perhaps breakage of the hair shaft from aggressively rubbing in the Foam?

Does anyone know if this is technically a shed or what? When I apply Rogaine Foam, I generally see about 30-40 hairs in the sink or on my hands after application. These hairs are both non-miniaturized and miniaturized. In addition, the hairs are of various lengths as well. Is this caused by...

IrishPride, Where did you have the test performed and how much did it cost? LAC P.S. What doctor have you personally seen that supports or advocates the theory that Finasteride may cause "reflex hyperandrogenicity"?

You are probably right in your approach now that I think about it. Other than Dr. Rassman, I am not sure of any other doctors out there that have put much stock in the HairDX Tests.
