Has Revivogen worked for anyone???

[Petchsky]

Just looked up some info on Revivogen and i'm surprised that it's made up of natural ingredients. I've been doing a lot of reading about natural ways to improve hair and it does seem possible to not take proscar and still lower your DHT levels to keep the hair you have by changing your diet and taking supplements, one or both... - anyway, i'm surprised to find that alot of the ingredients for Revivogen are some of the same things which kept popping up in peoples' natural ingredients only regimen.

Something i noticed about people on a successful natural regimen was that they didn't really get any regrowth, hair just thickened up and ceased to fall out anymore, so maybe same with Revivogen...you won't get regrowth, just maintenance, hence people quitting it thinking it does nothing?

Just a theory.

Have any of you read through the Revivogen website Q&As? I mean, the theories behind how Revivogen works are one thing, but I really think Dr. Khadavi loses a lot of credibility by taking a stance on virtually any of the products people write to him about with questions, most notably some of the oral saw palmetto scam products.

First post ever.

Ive been on Rogaine 5% and been reading this board for a while and decided not to risk the sides of finasteride , so I went with Revivogen. In the meantime Ive been on/off the Rogaine Foam 5% for the past year and before that I was on/off the regular Rogaine 5% for about 3 years.

So since I started my latest consistant regimen its been Rogaine foam 5% for the past 6 months and I added the Revivogen to the mix about 3 1/2 months ago.

So

month 1 - (just rogaine 5%) My hair was getting worse with moderate shedding
month 2 - (just rogaine 5%)Shedding stopped
month 3 - (just rogaine 5%)Some minor thickening
month 4 - (rogaine and now I add Revivogen) - More thickening but no new hairs
month 5 - (rogaine and revivogen) - nothing
month 6 - (rogaine and revivogen) - minor shedding
month 7 - (rogaine and revivogen) - major shedding and the worst my hair has ever been

I think its wierd that this major shedding happenned 3 1/2 months after starting revivogen.

So i was doing well for a while making a small comeback when i decide maybe revivogen can take me to the next level but it seems to actually made it alot worse .

But this is the big question ??? IS THIS A GOOD SHED OR A BAD SHED ?? and do I have to wait it out ? and for how long ?

and to quote myself :

Shedding normally lasts between 2-4 weeks before it lets up

Had similar progress.... If your hair goes downhill for already 4 monthw (since starting Revivogen), better stop it. I did not have any luck with it either.

I actually stopped today thats why I posted but wanted to see if anyones situation was similar and if thier luck had changed for the better.

What do you reccommend then. Im thinking just the minoxidil and the nizoral / tgel because the sides of finasteride scare me.

 

[amsch]

If you're already on regular minoxidil i'd rotate it with Xandrox15 plus. It contains a small amout to Propecia and should not give you side effects.

btw, you can try propecia for 3-4 months and see about the side effects!

 

[Petchsky]

You could carry on with revivogen and alternate it with spironolactone cream? also add nizoral 2/3 X a week.

 

[abidar]

revivogen is good for maintain that's for sure but you don't have to expect to regrowth .

If his hair got worse in the 4 months he used revivogen, it's not getting any better.

 

[SoThatsLife]

If his hair got worse in the 4 months he used revivogen, it's not getting any better.

But if his hair had got worse in 4 months on finasteride everybody know that he should ride the shed out, so your comment is a little wrong :whistle: But I dont have much faith in the revivogen product, it have some anti-androgen effect, but many people experience inflammation. There are several hair loss forums on the internet and I have never read any "success" stories about the product. It could help as a extra treatment to finasteride or another antiandrogen, but because it is so greasy long term use of the product seem to be really troublesome.

hey there!
I totally know what you mean about the comparison about propecia.

But look, even Revivogen itself refers to their timeline. Just check their page.
And believe me, if your hair gets worse still after 4 months with a topical product, it's surely not get any better.

Should I refer to minoxidil? spironolactone?

Hair cycles and sheds are not always perfect, and some get it soon and some get it fast. Dr. Proctor says that one usually see the results around month 6-8 and that is kinda the usual rule that all docs say. if the time line is different between topical and oral, i really cant say, but it would be logical that a topical could cause a shed faster. But again, most respected hair docs don't have much faith in revivogen since they feel it is a little shady because what the treatment promise and the studies they promise really never arrives, so I guess that revivogen's time line isn't the most scientific

It's my experience. I've been using revivogen for 6 months and my hair got worse and worse day by day. Took it for 6 months.

Just believe me in this case, the buddy did the right thing to quit revivogen and look for alternatives.

Then you must say that this was your experience. This forum have to much opinion that is stated as "truth" when it is only a personal experience. When you say that one should quit a topical if one don't get good results in 4 months you seem to have a lack of knowledge.

When newbies reads stuff like that they just get confused and ask a ton more questions and probably get more insecure on what they shall do. I don't want to be rude, I just want this site to be more trustworthy and that newbies don't get so confused.

About what you say about Revivogen, you could be right. Since the company probably wouldn't have any independent studies, we would probably never know if it could work on its own.

 

[amsch]

I doubt that you'll find any revivogen users in the boards that say that their hair got worse and worse over 5 months and than things started to happen.

Yeah, I was actually hoping to hear that revivogen causes a similar shedding process like finasteride as per the shedding thread that cassin posted that states:

* Finasteride (Propecia / Proscar)

There have been multiple reports of excessive shedding several months after finasteride therapy. Typically, there is a good response to finasteride to prevent or reverse male pattern baldness. Then, around the 11th to 16th week, there can be sudden shedding, sometimes on a massive scale. The entire phenomenon fits the description of a telogen effluvium. It is a common observation that post-partum women often suffer the same temporary hair loss. In the case of finasteride use, the telogen effluvium appears to be a reaction to the sudden change in the systemic levels of the sex hormone, DHT. Often the cause of a telogen effluvium are obscure, but has been related to high fevers, stress, trauma, medications, etc.

I wanted to hear some members say that the revivogen mimics the finasteride in these regards. Im still tempted to keep it going though because it sounds so similar to whats happenned with me.

 

[Petchsky]

If i was use i'd carry on with revivogen and alternate it with spironolactone cream...make sure you use nizoral 2/3 times a week if your not already

 

[likeafox]

I think I am going to keep it going and .... I just found out I have until Mar 15 to return for a full refund. Ill see if i notice a turnaround in that time and post a pic around that time. Can anyone give me a link to a good spironolactone cream ?
