I don't claim to be any expert by any means and I am not as knowledgable as some of the members on this site, however I would like to bring up a theoretical treatment that "may" work. Certain genes that are expressed when moles are formed that also cause thick hair to form from that mole. Is it...

No, topical. Iopu, how long did it take to see mild results?

I've heard that usually people have to wait a couple of years to see the full results of finasteride. Is this the same as spironolactone? I've been using it around a month and am not sure whether this is sufficient time to see any results. I would like someone to give me an estimate so that i wont have to waste...

Does spironolactone count at "topical finasteride"?

what if i just started off with a quarter pill? - - - Updated - - - What do you think the actual statistics are like JZ?

My concern is that I haven't reached an extreme level of male pattern baldness so I'm not sure if its worth risking sides with finasteride at this point. Maybe waiting till CB hits the shelves would be something smarter for me? I've heard that the percentages were fudged and that sides are closer to 5-10%. - - - Updated...

So would you agree with hairchaser in that the efficacy of rogaine does not diminish over time but rather your male pattern baldness is just catching up? Also, would you recommend waiting for a new treatment to come out or jumping on finasteride(im kind of scared of the sides)

Ok so essentially you are taking 2 dht blockers?

Wow, hilarious that you commented on my thread cause I was literally just checking yours out. I'm interested in the nettle root but I heard that some people say it ends up increasing dht in the long run?

I'm almost 20 years old and have been experiencing hairloss at a slow rate since probably 16. As part of my regimen, I've been using nizoral 2%, ginkgo, ginseng, omega, multivitamins, and a mild dht blocker- saw palmetto (topical). Although I've been thinning all over my scalp, my crown has...

Thanks for the reply. I am not changing my regimine per say, I just keep adding things onto it/ - - - Updated - - - As for the progress photos, I will update you guys with some pictures hopefully in a couple of months so you guys can see my progress. However,considering how sensitive I am to...

So I've been using saw palmetto for almost a month now and recently added red ginseng into my diet. So far results seem to be better. I feel like i got slight regrowth in the temple region. I will have to take a break from saw palmetto because it seems as though there are some sexual side...

So I noticed noone really replied to my post but I'd still like to share my progress. I have been using nizoral 2% for a few months now and also taking multivitamins and omega pills. Somewhat difficult to pin point my progress. A few months ago i noticed a bit of recession on the left side of my...

How is Female pattern baldness related to estrogen levels???

I'm 19 years old and was wondering if I could get some second opinions. Some background: for the past few months I've had a terrible diet since I am in college and definately don't get the nutrients I need to be healthy. Moreover, this past semester I drank frequently and although my thinning...
