FolliStem™ ???

[Gullible's travels]

Hi,
I'm a long time lurker here.
I have ordered Follistem and intend to share my experience.
My current regimen is: dut, minoxidil and laser. I have added Follistem hoping it will give me some more regrowth.
Will keep you guys posted...

Good luck man. Hope it works for you! Keep us posted

Skipper - When are we getting actual proof that this works? Where are the numbers after 3 months?

[Gullible's travels]

They told me they were going to release more longer term pictures in a scientific publication soon.
I am well aware that I ordered their product too early, before any evidence has been shown, and that it may be a scam - but, my curiosity got the better of me..

[JayM]

It's fair play mate. If you can get good pictures for us we would be really greatfull. Thanks!

[Gullible's travels]

Will do so. I am a woman by the way.

Well good luck to you. Can I just ask if you have an AGA or are you suffering from some other form of hair loss?
Also you are using dut? I'm not sure that is wise since you are a woman...

[Gullible's travels]

I have AGA, left to its own devices my hair will self-destruct. It already started in my mid teens :-(

I find that dut works for me.. I started off with androcur and the Diane pill, but that didn't work out and I had side effects. With dut I only have had a little bit of gynaecomastia
I make sure not to get pregnant.

I am also a big LLT fan. I am sure it has thickened my hair (I'm a diffuse thinner).

Hi, Gullible's travels. So sorry you've had to deal with AGA at such a young age. Please keep us posted on your FolliStem experience. Wishing you luck. I have AGA too (terrible shedding for three years now), and I'm going to give Spiro a try. Using minixodil for the last 18 months has done nothing for me. Regarding LLT, do you have a device at home that you use?

Sorry, I'm confused. Gynaecomastia is the enlargement of the male breasts. How then could a woman have this condition?

Unfortunately, because you are female, the results of your trial on FolliStem will be less valuable to the overwhelming majority of male users on this board. Women have been shown to react more positively to a large range of hair loss treatments. Nevertheless, if you could document your progress with pictures this would still be highly appreciated.

It's my strong inclination that this product is snake oil, but let's wait and see the results.

[Gullible's travels]

Hubris, the gyno thing was a joke. I know it's not the correct word but I have experienced breast growth from taking it.

Joan, I have considered spiro as well but never tried it because it lowers blood pressure and I already have quite a low blood pressure. Sorry to hear you also have AGA..
Re LLLt, I use a hand-held device with 50mW lasers.

My Follistem arrived today! I will take before pictures tonight.

Gullible's travels,

I don't think there is a PM function on this site. Do you frequent any of the female sites where I could find you? Otherwise, please email me at lastra.megan@gmail.com so we can compare notes...

[Gullible's travels]

I just sent you an email!

[Sogeking]

Once again good luck to you. Unfortunately, I think is most likely a scam, but for us to be 100% sure someone has to test it.

[Gullible's travels]

Thanks Sogekin.

I did the first application. First impressions: 1ml is not nearly enough to cover my entire head so the three bottles will not last me 3 months, more like 1 and a half. That's the trouble when you are an overall thinner and also have to apply at the sides and back of the head...
It's a spray but I use a dropper instead so that I can measure what I use. I like the smell, it reminds me of essential oil. The fluid is more viscose than minoxidil and it makes your hair greasy. Not a problem since they recommend applying it in the evening before going to bed.
