    Laser Cap After Stopping Rogaine... Anyone?

    Sorry to hear that! I really believe that shed not caused by genetic reasons is recoverable, and only time will tell. And rest assured I will come back here to tell, in a year or so, if I recovered from the terrible Minoxidil experience. Hopefully, with good news.

    Success on Finasteride. Terrible results on Minoxidil 5% foam

    I said I was still shedding 3 months AFTER I stopped using it. I did not say I use it for 3 months. I tried for 5 months and 11 days (not 3 months) and it did not work because the shed got significantly worse and there was no improvement within 5 months and 11 days. Rogaine recommends to stop...

    Success on Finasteride. Terrible results on Minoxidil 5% foam

    I am sure Minoxidil didn't work because I was worse off after 5 months. Not a single gain. However, I am 45, and I have been losing hair, although slowly, for 2 decades. I still have 70% or more of my hair, when compared to what I had when I was 24. Other than shedding more hair, I didn't...

    Success on Finasteride. Terrible results on Minoxidil 5% foam

    Good day everyone, I started on Finasteride at the age of 24 and, 21 years later, at the age of 45, I still have most of my hair, no noticeable bald spots, and no side effects whatsoever due to Finasteride. I was still losing an average of 10 hairs when washing it, but Finasteride absolutely...
