    Write off.

    Also, why is the hair gray in the after picture?
    Sure he is still bald but the guy is a very high NW so I'm just wondering if there is real improvement or is just the picture.

    Btw, he used to dye his hair prior to the trial but apparently the asked him to stop so that's why is grey now

    Agree, maybe it's just a waste of time, but since there is nothing else out there in the near future we have nothing to lose by simply looking at it

    Looks like an improvement to me. But not a significant one.
    It's the wait game now.

    Quick-Chime: I was a super-responder to FIN, went from receding hairline and diffuse-middle to super-thick all over and full recovery of hairline without minox, just FIN... was 21 when I started. My point: even as a super-responder, it literally took me between 1.5 to 2 years to notice how good the hair was looking, and that's coming from someone who pays daily attention. Hell, even guys that get transplants don't see peach-fuzz until the 3 month, and that's when a healthy, working follicle is injected into the skin. Never mind using a lotion to "wake up" a dead and dried follicle which, on that old guy has probably been dead for 15-20 years. Even if this is working perfectly, it's all happening under the skin at this point.... the thought that you rub something on your head and thick, terminal, hairs sprout out of a bald scalp is a complete joke.

    Exactly... what I don't fully grasp with this is the time frame. Correct me if I am wrong, but in order for a potential terminal hair to start growing from a follicle, wouldn't the follicle have to "reset"? By this I mean it would have to go into telogen, shed the existing vellous hair fiber and begin producing a new, stronger fiber once it's returned back to anagen. Doesn't the telogen shedding phase take like 3-4 months? Maybe I am missing something about the hair cycle, but it seems like immediate growth, like every one on the follicept thread is anxious for, is very unlikely. This is why most treatments take 8-12 months to see results.
