4 months into Revivogen...

[shutterfly]

I am an Asian with no know (extended) family baldness on either side. Roughly three years ago I noticed I am loosing hair. I started propecia in early 2005, hairs still fell off as usual, and I get 15-25 hairs when combing my hair every morning. Starting March this year, I swtiched to Avdart. Still nothing.
In early August, I started Revivogen. Initial response was pretty good: The itchy feeling on the scalp immediately went away; and I found my forehead became not as oily as before; fallen hair count during combing started to drop 2,3 weeks after the start, 1 1/2 months into the treatment the hair count dropped to 6,7~ish; and I even found small hairs began to grow out along what was my hairline.
In November after the Revivogen treatment passed 3 months mark, things began taking a nose dive: itchy feeling comes back and hairs began to fall off worse than ever before. Morning hair count is more than 25; once I even had more than 100 in the sink when combing after a shower!

I think I am freaked out. I have tried nearly everything that's out there and Revivogen is pretty much my last hope....

how long did you take propecia and avodart?

 

[shutterfly]

Nearly two years. No shedding, no regrowth, no maintenance, nothing.

how long did you take propecia and avodart?

i really doubt that you had no maintenance after 2 years on avodart. but even taking you at your word, if propecia and avodart didn't do anything for you then certainly the weaker revivogen topical isn't going to do crap either.

Is it possible that you are shedding because of the Avodart/Propecia wearing off- i.e. those hairs are finally leaving? I'd try the Avodart, if there's no sides and stick with the Revivogen. Maybe it's just a shed. MY hair is thin now, but for 20 years my hair would shed and come back, over and over, with it always coming back to pretty much the same. now, I'm 47, and I have BPH, so, if anyone, I should be on Pro/finasteride. I have kaiser, so it takes forever to get anything done. Are you taking another med's? Recreational, blood thinners, Anti depressants etc? Anyway, good luck.

if you have bph then are your meds paid for by insurance at least, 47?

i hope your doctor has talked to you about alpha blockers as well as anti androgenic drugs like finasteride and dutasteride.

Because it is. Targeted drugs are always more beneficial than simply applying a topical that isn't guaranteed to completely penetrate the skin.

I've used Revivogen and it's a crap product and no where near the quality of medication as synthetic 5AR inhibitors.

because we know what drugs are in revivogen, it's not even close

im not suffering on avodart at all. i am regrowing a lot of hair. you on the other hand will lose hair on revivogen, and it will be because you were stubbonrn and did not listen, making a bad choice.

exactly

not surprising, bubka. killuminati is the same guy who called propecia poison i think. one of the many. well let me say that poison is good.

I was using Terazosin, but that gave me a rapid heartbeat. I have inherited low blood pressure, which makes Rogaine a problem, also.

I had a positive experience with revivogen.


The three month shed the first poster claimed to be getting with it is exactly what you would expect at that time. All anti-androgens have a shed in the third-fourth months (finas. Dutas, spironolactone).


I put revivogen on one wrist for just under three months. It severely depleted the hair in the area. Its body hair, so that is what you would expect an anti-androgen to do. I was taking finasteride at the time.....conclusion? Revivogen worked pretty damn well.


I'd challenge anyone who doubts revivogen's anti-androgenic capacity to put it on their face on one half of it after ever time they was it/before bed. In a few months one side of your face will have much better beard growth.

Its drawbacks are you have to leave it on for at least three hours. Its better to put it on after every time you get the area wet. It makes your hair look greasy. It stinks.
