My before and after 8 week igrow progress

[Jazz1]

I'm thinking of doing a test on my mum to see if this helmet actually is doing anything or not! She's very thin ontop and losing hair, I'm thinking of testing the igrow documenting the pictures, I'm going to ask her and see but this will be the only treatment she will be using .

How's everyone's igrow doing my hair is still looking very positive ATM no shedding , and still thick any one updates ?

[thechamp]

Stay thick up date with your igrow ?

Should I buy remox 3 perent minoxdil or 5 percebt with retina a is the 3 percebt less chance of sides ?

I would avoid the retina version all over the scalp it could sting, use the DMI version if your buying Dr kleins spray form. If your also adding the lotion use the tretinoin lotion on the temples.

hi champ i think mintop is one that has retina a in also spectral 5% minoxidil has retinal in it but it does not say what percent.
Many have gone off the market as in the late 80s and 90s there was a lot of minox with tretinoin in.
The problem is it only a once a day at night application due to not being able to go out in sunlight or even using a sunbed when you have applied tretinoin.
We need to ask spectral what percent is in there formula? another is perfect solutions minoxidil whicg has retina a in and loads of other ingredience but does not say again what percent.
Then there is Dr Lewenbergs formula which is 2% minoxidil + tretinoin 0.25% which he has a sensitive formula, which we know has to be applied 3-4 times a day for at least a year, and if you get regrowth it can then be applied less.
There again its pricey as you need at least 3 bottles a month although he does have a discount on 10 bottles and also he has a contact scheme of 2-3 bottles a month which is a bit cheaper.
He has his followers and seems to have had some good success i did try his normal formula and it made my scalp sore so im not sure of the sensitive one.
I may have been applying it wrong as you are supposed to keep it at about 8-9inchs away from the scalp and just use it like a hair spray and not even supposed to rub it in.

I notice there was a trial of tretinoin with minoxidil and that a 0.5% strength showed good results, so that strength maybe better to use if 0.25% is causing irritation remember guys do not apply retina a during daytime as you should not go out into sunlight best used at nights.

Where can I buy minoxdil with tretinoin or retina a is it the same thing I know doctor Klein sells it ?

Many thanks jazz is your promox the 5% or higher strenght minox version?

I used first the lotion 15% tretinoin only temples and I got growth, then this year when I had alopecia areata I decided to buy his kits. So now I use lotion in the morning and night before bed I use the DmI 10% spray as I didn't want to use the tretinoin spray on the whole scalp as tretinoin can be irritating so be carefull how much you use etc. But the quality of my hair has got much better, chris from hairlosshelp unsigned Promox and he tried everything the DMI version working on him his scalp filled in. It's only worth adding these is your doing good on finesteride as finesteride only removes 60 odd percent internally I guess using topical helps remove the rest.

No need apply cream all over, just apply small spots slightly around mid points etc. I apply cream first then half hour later minoxidil, get the prescription Dactokart cream as I don't know if the over the counter is any good plus you need store it in the fridge.

I hated lipogaine made my hair worse, just use regular regaine foam is good, I cant say much about the anti fungal cream alone as one I'm using has 1% hydorcortisone in it. Best is use the cream I'm using and get some 0.25% tretinoin use derma roller like I said and minoxdidol. Once once you started getting regrowth you can cut them cream to once a week or maybe twice from what I read that's what Dr brown recommended for the Saba gel.

Many thanks jazz i have just found some Daktacort cream Hydrocortisone and miconazole nitrate mix,its ony a 15g tube i wonder how long that should last for do you apply it neat all over the scalp? and can i mix retina a with it or should i apply that just to shiny bald spots ie: temple and crown? and do you apply minox foam before or after the cream.

[Jazz1]

Hi Jazz can you tell me the antifungal cream i still have some how do you use it? do you use it neat or mix it with something? do you use any retina a? also i have some lipogaine minox i may use it with have you tried that minox?

Thanks, I've since seen it, Dr Klein? It's only available from him in the States? I'm in the UK, too expensive with shipping on top..

If you can't afford the tretinoin version lotion try finding a tretinoin cream with 0.25% in it that should do.

Look iv used Promox lotion for a year great results, I added Promox spray ontop, plus Dactokart was recommended by a friend who had AA and all his hair started growing back so my opinion stands and I know 100% it's the cream and Promox spray working on the regrowth not the igrow. I don't think our statements are fair on people on this forum giving them false hopes a laser helmet will cure and stop AGA, I'm sorry but nothing beat the big 3, lasers are just the icing on the cake don't expect regrowth not even maintaining unless your saving your hair from the big 3. How many trials have they done on people who have severe MPB alone on the igrow, come on man it's like saying the igrow can grow every NW7 bald scalp....never. I'm saying this again it's not the igrow that has worked on me it's the cream and Promox.
