I'm 34 now but I started receding in the temporal region at around 24 years I guess.
This continued gradually until during a stressful period of my life I developed a condition called Occipital Neuralgia which gave me sharp shingles-like pain over my scalp and I lost hair in patches as well as diffuse thinning.
I had this condition for about 5 years of my life with misery to match....thankfully it managed to subside of it's own accord/stress management etc.
As a result however I ended up with a shocking, messed up head of hair that was thin in parts and patchy.
It seemed that some grew back over time giving me back a degree of dignity.
About 12 months ago I started using Revivogen topical and the shampoo/conditioner as well.
I'm quite amazed by how effective it's been!
At first I was only applying it around the temporal region to see if I'd get any results at all...more as an experiment on myself I guess.
After about 2 months, fine vellus hairs appeared throughout my temple region which looked very encouraging, and the shampoo/conditioner did wonders for general improvement in daily hair appearance.
At around 10 months of Revivogen usage I noticed that the vellus hairs that were closest to my hairline began to get longer (but still remained blonde in appearance - my normal hair colour is brown).
Now they are about an inch in length, giving me like a blonde perimeter which looks quite cool I think. 8)
The hair further down my forehead (where my hairline used to be) is growing more vellus hairs now and up the side of my hairline the vellus hairs are getting longer in small tufts - it looks pretty funny.
I've since added finasteride to my regime now, since my hair on top/the crown has been thinning a fair amount. (I was on it at one stage for 8 months during the neuralgia attacks/hair loss period but it seemed sadly absurd to continue using it considering the amount of hair I was losing from that damned nervous condition).
Later I made the silly error of not applying revivogen topical to the vertex/crown area because it seemed okay at the time, but now progression has begun there too....so I'll see how effective Revivogen might be there, especially considering it's only recent thinning.
I also chose to add Folligen to my regime to hopefully see some more lengthening of those vellus hairs at a faster rate.
My hairloss history has been a pretty strange one what with the patchy hair loss from the neuralgia, so any kind of hair regrowth helps to lift my spirits.
I've read some varied reports about Revivogen use, but I can truthfully say that for me it's working quite well in the temple region....my supervisor at work even saw my head under the fluoro light at a particular angle and said 'What's with all the blonde hair appearing?!" He was totally baffled.
