    Never change what works for you. Combining RogaineFoam with Lipogaine

    Hey . It has been two months i have not had a look at this website.Because i was **** ing happy with my progress thanks to the Propecia(6 month eod) and rogaine foam (2x daily 4 month) as the fear of becoming norwood 6 bald guy as a diffuser pretty much disappeared. i have had really amazing improvement overall my head which is only thing that i want at the moment. In my fourth month of usage of Rogaine i started to use Lipogaine along with rogaine foam for my midscalp cos i wasnt getting the same impression of what i was from my vertex area. I went from "happiest version of mine" to visible scalp in one month.

    I know about shedding it might come back stronger and thicker. But the thing is i got all the gains from rogaine without shedding .So i do believe it was mistake to add lipogaine into my regimen as without it perfectly working for me and i had good density of hair which i dont now. I fully regret. I will decide whether to continue lipogaine or not. and will update how long shedding phase lasted. Hopefully soon

    It is me again. just wanted to tell shedding has reached its peak. Its really devastating to see all the fullness and density i obtained just disappeared in 4 weeks, so did my self-confidence and shedding did not stop yet. I keep reading all second shedding stories and most of them finish with happy ending as shedded hair coming back somehow, First i realized shedding at very first days of April it got increased as the time went by. today is just disaster and again i have no desire to go out. Hopefully i will update this post with good news one day....
    Treatment
    rogaine 2x daily (6 month)
    Propecia 1mg eod (8 month)
    Regenepure DR (5 month)
    Supplements( biotin, hair vitamin)

      Hey buddy, can't really comment on the shedding, but one option is toppik hair fibres. It really actually works.

      Sounds like you have a decent head of hair and this stuff can really make the difference.

      I wish I didn't have to use it, but in truth, it's saved my hair for another couple of years and gives the illusion of a full head of hair still.

      I Hope a good treatment will come out soon and I can stop using the stuff, but you mentioned not wanting to go out etc. This stuff stops me feeling like that.

      Just an idea for whilst your shedding is bad bro

        Bro appreciate support!! man you cant imagine this shit second shedding phase. it was like i won the battle, i was happy because i got my hair back. i mean i literally want nothing else in this life. But guess what? MPB caught me back again, i knew it will be always there but i thought that i made it harmless. Fully regret using lipogaine as it makes me not one hundred percent sure whether its lipogaine shedding or rogaine shedding(((

        When it comes to hair fibers, bro i do not want to make an impact on you, but i have used hair fibers for three years, at first it gave me relief but i always knew it wasnt my own hair and not to mention another disadvantages and embarrassments.To my own experience i think even it is said that it doesnt harm the hair follicules, i think it does . What do you think ? how long you have been using it?

            Hi again. I am certain not that i have been going through lipogaine induced telogen efflivium as i have shedded tons of hair like those in this pictures. The worst mistake i have ever done i introduced smt new into perfectly working system and suffer the consequences!! LESSON learnt in hard way






            Preshed situation. March
            way thicker hair and better density, no inflammation no itchiness no irritation nothing just perfect scalp condition and only regrowth and darkening





            after shed




            The red dots and non stopping irritation and inflammation

            after buzzing



            All in all. i see my hair, i feel my hair , its definetely not like it was in late march. i hope whoever created this lipogaine shit will die in his own shit.

              Lipogaine contains retinol, which is known to be quite irritating for the skin this is why people usually avoid it even though it has some skin regeneration capabilities...

                i believe it made me shed hairs that were both in anagen and telogen phase, with different length! i shaved my head to avoid to see hair falling out. i still see little hairs falling attached those yellowish bulb thing!! Here is the message lipogaine sent me

                I am deeply sorry to hear about your story.
                It is not uncommon that a minoxidil product worked in the beginning and then stopped working. see : https://baldingblog.com/2010/04/22/r...fter-6-months/
                https://www.*****************/intera...t-to-do.59622/

                It is yet still unknown why this would happen to some people. Most of the people will see more rapid growth in the first few months to an year and then the growth slows down. There are a few people who have repeated shedding-regrowth cycle.

                As you can see, some people who were consistently using Rogaine had similar experience like your. We are not sure if Lipogaine caused your hair loss or if is simply a coincidence.

                Like it is not enough it has ruined my hair, they also discourage people! but my only hope is that hairs shedded during telegone is reversible. Moreover if i did it once , i could do it again . So continue treating my hair with proven treatments!

                I thinki people get paid and promote the products like lipogaine and then people like me gets easily manipulated. it might work for others it didnt for me

                    Hi, did we interact before? I'm sorry I don't remember, I didn't think I had spoken about my intentions before I did it. I talked about my experience a bit after though. Yes it went marvelously, 2500 graft with Dr Rahal in November 2015. My close friend went there as well a year later and his results are delightful. I really recommend the place. Here's some before/after from a year ago ( still look the same)Click image for larger version

                      it is ok dont worry. Dr Rahal is just another surgeon did not recommend me hairtransplant as i am f***in diffuser! But he is great for those who are ok with FUT

                        His FUE is top of the line as well as you can see for yourself on my pictures, my friend did FUE as well and his results are just as good. Unfortunately diffuse thinning is no good for HT...

                            Thanks, hopefully your telogen effluvium will turn around.
