Hi obiee,

Are you talking about a hot oil treatment? I don't think that would be a problem. Using Nizoral once or twice a week could help. Spiro does not block DHT formation but it does block androgen receptors from accepting androgens, including DHT. I know it takes time though. I'm not sure if the time is longer for a woman with PCOS though.

Hello,

I've been to this Bosley hair clinic and I am considering buying their laser comb of 400$ .Can anyone throw light on this if they have some info.

Any responses are highly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi obiee,

I've been using the laser comb since the very begining of my treatment. Actually, I started with using only the laser comb. I started using meds as well six months later. You can buy a laser comb directly from Hairmax. However, if that $400.00 price is for the 9 laser model it would be cheaper than buying directly from Hairmax. Do you know how many lasers are in the comb they are offering you?

Take care,

Tracy

Oh I see. I always round prices up to the nearset $10.00. To me this price is $500.00, not $400.00. The one in the picture is the 9 laser Hairmax model and the price is the same as Hairmax.com. When you buy directly from Hairmax you get a 20 week money back guarantee. I don't know if Bosely offers the same guarantee though. It takes about 16 to 20 weeks to know if the laser comb is going to help you or not. So that is something you want to think about.

I responded to your PM. Did you get it?

Take care,

Tracy

Hello Tracy,

Hope you have been doing good.
I did not get any PM from you. I will find out from bosley about the refund....
Also, I was told to use Minoxidil 5% just once a day....they spoke highly of Nizoral too.

I did tell him about my hirsutism problem with minoxidil...he just wanted me to check for couple of weeks and since i am on Spiro that should take care of me on that.....

So I am gonna try minoxidil with Nizoral and Laser comb.....

I have a question can I wash my hair everyday?

I want to tell you that I really appreciate your quick responses.You have been very helpful.
Thanks a Lot.

Hi obiee,

I have not had a problem with facial hair, but I am also on Spiro. I do believe Spiro probably does reduce the possibility of growing facial hair from Minoxidil quite a bit.

I am aware that women can get away with using 5% Rogaine foam only once a day. This makes it very convenient. Both Walmart and Target sell a generic Minoxidil foam now, so that helps keep the cost of treatment down a little bit. When using Nizoral, make sure not to over use it. Which version of Nizoral are you using? The 1% "A-D" version or the 2%? I use the 1% Nizoral A-D twice a week in place of my regular shampoo.

Since I work our almost every day and I also using Dermmatch concealer, I do wash my hair almost every day. I followed the advice of Dr. Charles from this forum and switched to sufate free shampoo and conditioner. I found that my favorite brand, Aveeno, makes a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner and I have been using those ever since switching to sulfate free.

Take care,

Tracy
