Hi all,
I skimmed over alot of posts and there seems to be alot of depressed guys out there concerning their hair loss.
I don't want to give false hope to anyone, but hopefully this thread will help somebody.
My story:
I am 34 yrs old. I am 2 months out from having a HT in my crown region only. At present the crown region has only grown 20% so nothing much to report here.
Before the HT, I wasn't using anything to stop the hair loss, except for sporadic use of propecia on and off. This was because I never believed I could grow hair, let alone stop hair loss.
Well, after the HT, I decided that I would do everything possible to ensure the best survival of the transplanted hairs. (short of throwing the kitchen sink at it).
So I started taking:
1) Promox 5% or ******* 5% 2 x daily
2) Hair Max Laser Comb 1x daily
3) Saw Palmetto 3200mg
4) Hair vitamins
5) Revivogen shampoo, alternating with Hair Cycle Shampoo
6) MSM 3000 mg
7) Biotin spray (only on crown region for the HT)
8) ******* 15% Plus every 3 days only at night
9) Dutasteride 1 mg
Now I had been using most of this stuff after the HT, but it was only after I started using the Nanogen scalproller, that I noticed that I am now getting frontal hairs growing for the 1st time in 14 years, only after a week of using it. This is in the region where I did not get any hair transplant work done. If these frontal hairs keep growing, at this rate, my temple regions will fill in. Growth is mostly in the widows peak region.
If you don't know what a scalproller is, google it. Its this vicious looking roller device which makes little pinprick holes (0.5mm depth) in your scalp, and supposedly allows absorption of minoxidl up to 5x. Yes, it hurts a little bit when you use it. Similar devices - dermarollers have been used to increase penetration of skincare products to help aid in healing of acne scars, help with wrinkles etc.
They are still v.fine vellus like, but my widow peak temple regions are now definitely v.slowly filling in. Hopefully, I won't need to get a 2nd HT done on my temple region later.
What I do on the temple region:
1) Use the scalproller on my temple region 1x daily at night
I don't use it on the recipient crown region- too scared it will affect the HT.
2) apply Promox 5% or ******* 5% with Azaelic Acid, (every 3 days I use ******* 15% Plus on temples)
3) apply thin layer of topical spirolactone every night to temple region
I am not 100% sure if the scalproller is the main cause of this growth, because I am using alot of other products as well, BUT I only noticed the frontal hairs starting to grow AFTER I started using the scalproller.
The reason why i use spirolactone and ******* is because I read some thread on another forum about some guy using *******, retin A and spirolactone on his temples, and getting frontal hair growth. I don't think he was even using the scalproller.
(just to clarify, I do not work for Nanogen or any hair loss company or surgeon, I am just a normal guy like you)
So maybe if some guys are willing to try this and see if it helps you too, PLEASE give some feedback on this thread, especially if you get some real results with this. We can then spread the word, and help some people in the process.
