Name me some growth stims besides minoxidil. I started miracle lotion and need something besides minoxidil. Used up to 15% with no results.

Besides minoxidil, PGF2a analogues are probably the strongest growth stims

Latanoprost; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21875758

"At 24 weeks at the latanoprost-treated site, the density (+22% in the entire study population) was significantly higher compared with baseline and placebo"

Second one is Bimatoprost that is running clinical trials. From what I remember a concentration of 1% and 3% worked around the same as minoxidil.

minoxidil did not work for me, and I did not give bimatoprost a full chance. I am starting bimatoprost with dermapen this week. I have hopes the dermapen will eliminate the absorption issue bim has in the scalp.

Yeah but all this growth factors do nothing alone. You have to attack Androgenetic Alopecia with a multiple angle attack.

Couldn't agree more. But I did lol.

off the top of my head i tried the big 3 together, with adenosine, and bimatoprost(this wasnt used long enough), LLLT, and Im sure more. Cant remember.

I don't know ! Maybe pge2 with castor oil but it's not as effective as raw pge2.

Ahh ! If big 3 did nothing for you, it will be hard.

Yea but finding 1 or 3% Bimatoprost is impossible

Im skeptical on alot of these growth stims. Im going to start applying stemox on one side of my chest to see if it actually does anything.
