    Default 2 Months In (15% Minoxidil, Propecia, Nioxin)

    Hi everyone,

    I'm a 25 year old male. I've been balding since I was 18. I've used Rogaine, Propecia, and even a lasercomb in the past and have had success with all three. The past year and a half or so I had stopped using anything (honestly I just became lazy) and began relying solely on Toppik to hide my hair loss.

    I've started taking care of my hair again and am super pleased with the results. I'm currently using 15% Minoxidil (Perfect Image brand from Amazon), Propecia, and Nioxin shampoo and conditioner. The Minoxidil is a strong dose and a bit pricey, so I'll probably use this brand for another month or two and then will return to Rogaine. I'm two months in and super pleased with the results.

    Note: I've only been using the Nioxin for about three weeks. I've had zero side affects.

    FAA952 -

    Hi

    If I am correct, I'm sure you posted a thread some time ago talking about your experience with the lasercomb? I even remember Dr Charles commenting on your apparent improvement. Can you advise as to your thoughts on laser therapy specifically? I know this is often a therapy met with criticism but I am a user myself and how found some merit in it's use. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

    Hey Alex, if I remember correctly, I used it for about four months and had fairly good results. I felt like my hair was thicker and that my thinning area had filled up. That thread with my pics are still up, if you look through my post history.

    To be clear, I'm not currently using the lasercomb, but at some point I will put it back in my regiment.

    Dude, that's all great. With or withouth the comb, if those pictures are a before and after then you seem to be coming on leaps on bounds. Nice to hear from a pragmatic and open minded user. I wish you continued success with your treatment.

    are you sure that is you in both pictures?

    looks like your head is a different shape and your hair color is different too.

    if this is real that is impressive

    Hmm. On second thought those are two different people. What is your agenda FAA952?

    Wow, this is ridiculous. What do I possibly have to gain here? I'm clearly not trying to sell any product as I've repeatedly said I was thinking of switching back to Rogaine. I've posted in the past as well. It's these type of skeptical posts that discourages people from posting their own story. My agenda is:

    1.) I was excited about my results.
    2.) Maybe this regiment could help others since it's working for me.

    You guys have managed to spoil that.

    you have to understand that this could be the snake oil industry of all time, so people are going to skeptic especially with those pictures that you posted.

    As I states above the head is shaped different and the hair color is different, better pictures would surely eliminate most doubt about your results. I am sure that many people are happy for you and some will try that approach with or with out new pictures.

    If your results are true than thanks for the exciting story and best wishes. This could be a new break through.
