Hey Swoop - i actually tried minoxidil and finasteride but havent really seen any results. I specifically asked both Dr Hakan and Dr Koray if i was a good candidate for a hair transplant, any both replied yes. I realize i may need a future hair transplant, but my rate of hair loss is not great and i'm confident with the use of finasteride i...

hi - i am nearly 28

Hello All, New member. As a background of my hair loss, i have been suffering from diffused hair loss for about 5 years now. I have tried finasteride and rogaine but never really stuck to a particular regime and as such never had any sort of result. I am now considering a hair transplant. I have...

Anyone out there with advice? Why am I still loosing hair despite being on finasteride for six months? Could it be that I was using generic? Or has the impact worn off due to me being on and off it over the past few years? Thanks

I'm not sure if i'm experiencing another shed. To be honest, i have nt really seen the hair stop falling. I'm pretty sure its male pattern baldness. I few months back i started using liquid Min once a day, any applying to the front of my hair, can this be the reason i'm seeing a worsening situation? Also, I have...

Hello all I thought I would give you an update of my progress (or lack of). I have been on rogaine/minoxidil liquid once a day since November, and on generic finasteride 1 mg since December and to be honest I have seen no re growth, and to be honest I continue to loose hair. I'm pretty sure that I...

Thanks guys. I forgot to mention that I'm having terrible side effects from finasteride. My libido is low, and erection is weak. I was hoping that my body adjusts to taking finasteride, but there seems to be no sign of sides going away. I'm scared to come of finasteride as I'll start loosing more hair.. Any thoughts...

thanks guys - I tried min. liquid (Kirkland) but it gave me terrible scalp irritation - is there a difference between Kirkland and Rogaine liquid? I'm wondering as it may be that Kirkland use more alcohol in theirs? I will persevere with treatment for another year or so, but if I don't see any...

Hello All, I thought I would update everyone on my progress; I have been on generic finasteride (roughly 1.25mg) every day for about 3 and a bit months, and been on rogaine foam once a day for about 5 and a half months, and to be honest i have seen no results. If anything i think my hair is now worse...

Hi all, I thought I would give you a quick update; I have been on Min 5%, once a day, for about two and a half months, and on finasteride 1.25 for about a month. I cant see any re-growth, but hair loss has definitely stopped as when I shampoo my hair, I see no hair, or one to two hairs max. I also...

your front has thickened up remarkably! When did you see result? I'm nearly two months in to rogaine treatment, but no results :(

Just quick update on my progress; i'm approaching the two month mark of rogaine foam application once a day and TBH I have yet to see any result. In fact i'm confident my hair looks worse off than when I started as now when I "spike" my hair, you can clearly see the scalp. How long do sheds...

is there any difference in terms of effectiveness between liquid and foam min? i'm using foam rogaine and may switch to liquid as i have read it is more effective, especially given i only apply once a day. Also, how can one tell if hair follicles have miniaturized or just dead? where my hair is...

Chris: I have been using rogaine foam on and off for the past few years, and i dont believe i have seen regrowth. This time around i will atleast try my regime for a year. My hair is still shedding: everytime i apply rogaine i see hairs on my hand. I really do believe my hair is worse off than...

I have been applying rogaine daily for the past month and have noticed heavy shedding. I'm not on finasteride yet, but have ordered generic proscar from united pharmacies, so will start as soon as I get it. What do you think my best course of action is? Stay on my current regime (rogaine once a day...
