Any Results with Lipogaine as a Hair Loss Treatment?
- Thread starter jecheung
- Start date
I got aura resulting in heavy migraine, approx two months ago. My doctor didn't know why the migraine hit me, but he told me that it probably was because blood veins in my brain expanded. He didn't know why they expanded or cared to find out. He prescribed me triptans (migraine drug). I did'nt tell him that I use lipogaine / (minoxidil). I am pretty sure my migraine is caused by minoxidil. I still use it, but low as 1mg +- each day. Why I still use it? Well i don't get the migraine at this dosage, and my hair is definitive ticker then before!

did you see better results than on generic 5% minoxidil ?
Hi! I use Lipogaine for about 2 months and a half. I never used any serious hairloss treatment untill now...I only used Vichy 2-3 times with no result.
I apply Lipogaine after using the derma roller twice a day. It helps very much absorbing the lotion, especially at the forhead (receeding hairline). After 2 and a half months I can notice some pretty good results.....my wife and my mother in law keeps telling me I grow new hair.
My bald area is pretty large so I am tempted to use more than 1ml each time I apply the product, but whenever I do so, I have headaches and I feel tired. When I drop back to 1ml, everything is ok.
I used Kirkland Minoxidil for a few days when I had no more Lipogaine. Kirkland dries slower, but the hair is cleaner, while Lipogaine dries faster, but the hair cloggy. If I dermaroll right before applying Lipogaine and massage thoroughly right after, it dries very fast.
All in all, Lipogaine is a very good product. It is better if you have very short hair as it is easier to apply. I am very satisfyed...I grow new hair on the top of the head and on the receeding hair line too.
Check out these photos. Nothing spectacular, as they are made using my phone. But I'll keep you posted.

Well I'm using Lipogaine for about 3 months, and I tell you, it is a higher quality minoxidil than Kirkland by far. It dries faster, it's not oily and it works.....I can see a lot of my hair regrowing. I am using it with a needle roller, so maybe that's why it works for me.

Lipogaine is spamming Amazon with fake reviews and piggybacking on other product names to boost their ranking.
Read their reviews, its complete BS, just dont be fooled by their fake reviews.
Vladut50, I have bad news for you. Minoxidil is minoxidil. Just the applications are different!
I have dont extensive research on Minoxidil and know that they are all the same.
If the minoxidil is different then its illegal and not FDA compliant.
You say higher quality Minoxidil? LOL. Also, if it dries faster, you are just using less Minoxidil.

I have been using Lipogaine for about 2 months now (will go for atleast 6 before i decide to quit), so far its too early to tell. I don't get any sides, i love the 1ML dropper system. Drys fast and nobody can tell I put it on my head. Unfortunately they took the Azeliac Acid out of the formula (FDA crack down)
So far there is only 2 things I did notice about it. Once I decided to apply it on my head, and then go to the gym. Never do that lol It gave me an extreme headache (id assume from all the blood pumping around my body and the minoxidil being apart of it.) Also I use topical spironolactone....NEVER apply both of them at the same time haha...because minoxidil will make the topical spironolactone smell horrible. So all I do is space them out. So far I can't prove if its helped or not, just reporting that I get no sides and they took the Azaliac out.
Also as far as my libido...I am a machine and ive got the same libido as a 16 year old lol. I also still make crazy gains in the gym 2 years from being back on that stage to claim a title.

You might be right about the Amazon reviews. Everybody does that.
I am telling you about the differences between Kirkland and Lipogaine from my own experience. I have them both in my closet.
Kirkland causes dandruff, itching, dries very slowly. Lipogaine dries very fast, doesn't cause dandruff or itching at all. Believe me, I alternate them from time to time. I always use 1 ml and the differences are very obvious, believe me.
DarkVctry - 2 months is not enough time. I started seeing hair growing where it was long gone after 3 to 4 months. I used the needle roller once to twice a day before applying Lipogaine. It increases absorption but it's not good as minoxidil goes into the blood stream and you get tired, headaches, no sexual desire, etc so now I am using the roller much less often.
2months ago: I stopped using Lipogaine and bought Rogaine foam, and quitted that too. Now I only wash my hair with Lipogaine Big 3 Shampoo, but I don't know if that helps but my hair feels great.
I started to take saw palmetto, nettle root extract, beta sitosterol, zma and biotin. What do you guys think about that? I will post pictures later.

Hey all of you guys, I knew this forum from many years agi but Registered recently ! So you do not find any previous comment from me , But you will !. I'm using Lipogaine for two months right now and I can say it shows some improvement because I took some picture from my scalp , I also used minoxidil
on and off from many years ago and I can say Lipogaine is greasy too, but a little better than generic minoxidil, BTW , I just like to confirm Jonnykid about amazon review of Lipogaine! The reason is I have followed the review of amazon for this product everyday and one day I noticed it has decreased from 410 to 260 !about 150 reviews deleted and It just happened overnight from 11/7/2013 to 11/8/2013 ! So I was wondered whats happening? For sure it was not by user and they were fake reviews !Anyway , I still not completely sure about the result but I can say its not a bad product and worth the try ! When It comes to review I agree with my friend Jonnykid !
I've been using lipogaine for only a month and have already noticed significant hair growth. I was using it with Nuhair dht blocker and growth but recently stopped using it because of some minor sexual side effects. But now, after reading this thread, I'm starting to think it is the Lipogaine that is responsible for the side effects. Does anyone have any recommendations of how to fix this without stopping Lipogaine?
