My treatment with pics and updates 2013 - FINALLY, HAIR LOSS STOPPED !!

---

Hi all,

So, I have 23 yo and I have male pattern baldness (pretty bad).I started to lose my hair since 18 y. I tried many treatements....but nothing.
First I started easy, with some solution(like castor oil, vitamin A oil) and some tincture (birch )...a few months...but in vain.:hmmm:

Then...I understood that is something serious about my dht...so I strated with Alopexy 2%, 4-5 months...but nothing my hair still falling(of course were weak treatments )
In the coming years I used Spectral- dnc, revita, some natural shampoo, vitamins,saw palmeto, etc. Still nothing! :freaked:

In 2011 I started to use Rogaine foam, for about 6-7 months. So I slowed down a little bit, my hair loss...but no regrowth! Ok so after 6-7 months, I stoped to use rogaine. In the coming months my hair started again to fall really bad.


From 2013, January 15,after some research on the internet, my treatment is like this :

-Rogaine foam 5% (twice daily)
-Nizoral 1% (3 times/ week)

and some supliments:
-Saw Palmetto (675 mg/ day)
-Biotin (5mg/ day)
-Multivitamin (1 cap with Q10,minerals, ginseg, etc / day)


For the future:
- I will try to add in my treatment finasteride 1.25 mg
- I will try to change my 1% Nizoral with 2% Nizoral
- after a few months I will try to add RU58841
- add MSM
- add S5 5% - Spironolactone cream
- add Omega 3s at least 1000mg
- and after than, I really don't know yet.

I put some pictures from January 30, 2013 and I'll come back with new pictures during treatment.

Wow, that's great!

Good luck mate.
I didn't have any luck with MInoxidil so far :/ My regiment is just Finasteride and SPectral UHP MX5 (minoxidil) Just 2 months in, about. So not expecting that much.

Hope my regiments works, takes time sometimes, some are lucky, like you

Hello Pixman and thanks for replay,

I don't consider myself lucky, maybe, just an 'insistent man'. I struggle with hair loss from 18 y, maybe 17 y, so now I'm 23, and here they are 6 years of fighting with my hairloss. I tried many treatments, but nothing. A normal person would have dropped the idea more time ago.

You said that, you had no luck with minoxidil. How long have you used minoxidil (months) ?? Do not lose hope!
Because,first I used minoxidil 2%, for about 5 months and than minoxidil 5 % for 6 months + Spectral dnc(also with minoxidil 5%) for 5 months...and here is 1 year +...and nothing !! And of course as I said above, before this, I used another treatments for for abut 4 years...and nothnig.

So...only now my hair loss stopped, but not regrowth yet ! And now I'm thinking thant Nizoral shampoo( with Ketoconazole 1 %) helped me a lot. Nizoral + Minoxidil .

I strongly recommend you this Nizoral shampoo(1% or 2% ketoconazole) 3-4 times a week (and should be left on the scalp for about 5 minutes) -this is not an ordinary shampoo + after washing, you can feel your scalp and your hair healthy.

and...continue to fight with male pattern baldness !

Jesus, that is some improvement in three months!! Wait until you hit the year mark! Your hair will be glorious. When I first saw your baseline photos in the OP, I'll be honest, it did look really bad and almost a no hoper (considering your age etc) but whoa, it looks infinitely better now.

Definitely improving, good thing is your hairline isn't even that bad, if you can thicken up where you still have hair, which is very achievable, it would look really good.

 

[Spanishlad]

great improvement!!! and you wont even be seeing the effects of the finasteride yet. It should only get better.

 

[RapidRetreat]

Wow nice work mate, I haven't lost that much hair yet but it is good to see you were persistent with it and it has paid off!

 

[boomer123]
