By chance saw this "new" proprietary hair loss treatment system called AnteAge. It is a kit that includes a serum which supposedly includes a number of growth factors, some of which target the Wnt pathway. Can be used at home with the included dermastamp (only 0.2mm, very shallow depth). I...

Do you know which cancer center actually recommends this? I am asking because this question actually came up about a year or so ago with my friend who was receiving chemotherapy. I went with her to one of her follow-up appointments to lend moral support as a friend. We asked this question to...

I thought CsA also modulates inhibitory activity of sFRP-1 too. That's why you get hirsutism as a side effect of long-term CsA use. Not being a medical person, I am not sure on this... How do you intend to take the drug (WAY)? Even if you see a result, given you are using so many other...

Why do you choose to use WAY-31660* so aggressively and so early on rather than waiting first to see the results of your other more conventional treatments, including dermarolling? The original PLOS paper gives only in-vitro results, and any Wint inhibitor*, including the more commonly used...

Agree with the very skeptical views posted in previous replies. While I agree that there exists a lot of excellent science done in the realm of aging, including suggested targets of therapies, any practice of such therapies as clinical (emphasis on clinical) ant-aging treatments is unfounded...

I respect the decision you made not to use such drug class. Presumably, you have spoken to a trusted health professional and made a sound decision so not to fallen prey to internet misinformation. With this said, your current regimen may not (and will not likely) yield the results you are aiming...

Why do you choose not to go on a 5AR inhibitor? Only a single major Nutrafol study (which was funded by the manufacturer) was done. That study was on women only, so effect on men is unknown.

I am among the minority who could not tolerate the pain from microneedling. I am using a Dr. Pen rather than a dermaroller. Reducing from 1.5mm to 1.0mm did not help. I am now looking for a topical numbing or anesthetic spray to apply onto my scalp to try to reduce the discomfort from the...

I sympathize with your situation, especially when the results do not match up your expectation. Still, judging on the photos, even with the grown-out hair differences, you seemed to have some response to the drug. Perhaps it might be good to continue on for another 6 months before deciding. Even...

Minoxidil is water insoluble and requires a non-aqueous carrier in order to be absorbed. There are only three known tested carriers for minoxidil - alcohol, propylene glycol, and glycerin. Do you know which one Freshman uses? I can't find this info on Freshman's website. Perhaps I overlooked. If...

I am looking to buy a Dr. Pen microneedling kit. Looked through the usual Amazon and eBay listings (there are numerous). The prices for the same model and accessories (A6 Ultima) varied extremely widely (up to 30%). Not surprisingly, I expect to see some markups from resellers who obviously need...

Just want to an experience of using this serum by my mate from whom I discovered by chance that he was also using this product... Unlike most posters here who may be experimenting with a rotating regimen that is constantly changing, he claimed that he had been on a stable regimen for nearly a...

Do you have or know of any experiences comparing the formulation from Minoxidilmax to formulations from other vendors such as Lipogaine? It seems that every vendors have different mixes and use different carriers, so little good shared experiences comparison which one is best.

Thanks for the input. If they contribute equally, have you thought about just using the foam only twice daily? The higher strength minoxidilmax solution is far more expensive and more messy to apply.

To what extent do you believe your hair regrowth is due to the higher strength minoxidilmax solution or just the regular 5% minoxidil foam you are using?
