Hey Irish. When I took finasteride awhile back I got excessively oily skin, acne, high sex drive and very low alcohol tolerance to name a few. I stayed on it for about 6 months and then I threw in the towel, and everything got better (in time with proper diet). I cant say using finasteride made my hair better...

Re: Deadlock's Story - (19/ hair problems w/PICS) you still have a lot of hair, why not just cut it short and style (In the range of 2-3inches)? It will certainly stop you from stressing so much - which could be contributing to the loss.

Everything is in the eye of beholder. Un-related but that jacked looks a little silly without a collared shirt. :innocent:

I don't think you're loosing hair mate. I suggest you start eating better (eating ALOT as you look stick thin) and perhaps work out. Hair shedding from the sides is not a sign of male pattern baldness but of Telogen Effluvium. Don't look to drugs yet, just take care of your body for now.

I'm just speculating but.. Calcification of the hair root sheath has been proven in male pattern baldness. LLLT reduces soft tissue calcification. LLLT also increases the the number of blood vessels among other things. While not promoting hair growth - as per the OP - it could be a catalyst in the hasty success.

Not that i'm any sort of advocate of laser hair therapy but I do get the feeling that his amazing and quick success might have something to do with the laser hair therapy. Not that it caused hair growth as it obviously didn't but, perhaps improved the condition of his scalp so that when he did...

Holy crap! well done sir. Out of curiosity what exactly are you taking daily for your supplements.

This is a humorous thread... if baldness were really a good thing (which biochemically I believe it's not).. we would all be shaving our heads to look as bald as possible.

Re: RSR39 Success story at 13 months treatments Well this is two confirmed cases... working out and taking care of yourself + big 3 = success... If I may ask, what kind of diet to you eat day to day (no sugar coating it) be honest :)

Coconut oil will beat tea tree oil hands down... Virgin Coconut oil is a strong anti bacterial, anti fungal, anti inflammatory and moisturizer. I would highly recommend it, it's fantastic for the face, hair, and body. Great to eat as well :)

Goodluck man! Perspective is everything. I lost a great girl because I drowned myself in self-pity when my hair looked FINE. Ahh, why must hindsight be 20/20 ;) Glad to hear things are looking up. I also just started minoxidil. You should look into folligen lotion and or hair signals. They are...

UPDATE: So it's been a little while since i've bumped this. I am no longer on propecia for reasons stated above. My hairloss is at about the same place as my photo's demonstrate. It got a little worse when I dropped propecia but I have been using folligen mixed with Hair signals on and off...

Today was my first application of minoxidil and I must say, not nearly as bad as I imagined. Infact, I actually like the way it makes my hair look.

Thanks for the response. Prox-N does sound quite promising, especially the SOD's. If you could PM those before and after photo's i'd be grateful. It's always nice to see what progress people get. For the next 6 months i'm going to be working strictly from home and have no other engagements...

Hey Bryan, Thanks for the reply. In regards to Prox-N. I am wondering how exactly it works to inhibit the binding of DHT to the follicle and or interrupting the 5AR-type 1 in the skin? I can see that the SOD, and CP's will de-calcify tissue, and support grown respectively but, how does it work...
