    20 and urgently need help!
    Hi,

    I'm 20 yr old of Asian origin and I have been using Regaine (Rogaine for US guys) for 40 days.. Only at night since I am unable to apply it during the day. Dont' think its done any good. Mum & dad suffer from hair loss.

    Anyway as you can see my condition is extremely serious! What stage is this at? What do you think is my prognosis?

    I am starting finesterdie (propecia) 1mg tablets today.... do you think I'll improve a lot within 3 months?

    Do you think I will grow hair on back of head?

    What about front baldness?

    SHALL I CONTINUE REGAINE TREATMENT AS BEFORE? (only at night) whilst taking propecia 1mg?

    I will update this thread every 2 weeks with new pictures.

    Thanks in advance

    Hey!
    May be worth browsing a bot through the forum - sure this will answer a lot of your questions. most people take rogaine twice a day to have constant exposure to minoxidil (the active ingredient). Also one shouldn't expect results within such short timeframe - often it takes much longer for visible results to appear. Good luck anyway!

    At 40 days your Regain results should be STARTING. Don't stop until you have tried it for at least 120 days. You can expect results at the 2nd month mark, some see results slightly after that. You will know by the 3-4 month mark if it is working for you, though most see results at the 2-3 month mark.

    Your hair should improve. Especially with the addition of finasteride.


    Get a shampoo with Ketoconazole 2% and then you have a nice regimen against hairloss. Good luck.

    Remember: Lasers are scams. Only the 3(minoxidil, finasteride, ketoconazole 2%) treatments I mentioned really work. Do not spend money on anything else.

    Thank you so much for the advice! I have got my Fin tablets just about to take one now... Do you think I should continue using Rogaine once a day at night as I mentioned or is it ineffective by using once a day? Is it still worth doing when I'm taking Fin now?

    Thanks in advance :)
    Anyway

    There are some people who apply Rogaine only once per day who experience good results.

    It's definitely worth using both treatments. They're the two best products/drugs a man can use to save his hair.

    A single daily application of Regaine is worthwhile, but twice per day will increase the potential for it to be of maximum effectiveness.

    You got good advice already about the length of time needed to judge your response to Regaine. With Fin it's usually recommended to wait a full year before deciding whether it was worthwhile. Keep that in mind.

    Had my 3rd Fin1mg tablet today! I've stopped using Rogaine (Regaine) since using Fin 1mg tablets 3 days ago...

    Hair was still falling out... Oh and also had a haircut today! This will really help me to gauge whether Fin 1 mg actually is working..

    Do you guys think judging from the pics I'll be able to grow new hair within 3 months? or see some improvement?

    Oh and I will post a new pic soon...

    Take pictures of your head/hair now and a few months later to compare. Post them here, keep us updated! Believe me it helps everybody to see how the tripple combo (fin, minox, nizoral) work in combatting hair loss.

    Results so far... update 13th November 2011
    Hello guys! It's been a long time since I've been on this forum... I thought I'd update you on my progress. Been on propecia 1mg ever since my last post about stating it... (no Minoxidil used stopped it)

    Here are the pics taken today (13th November 2011) hot off the camera!


    Your honest opinions please I'm asking kindly for now...
    Do you think I have made any improvements? More loss? OR THE SAME?

    Thanks in advance!
