Thanks Chris. The "Might just pay off" approach is the one i was taking to be fair. I know my hairline at the front wont grow back. I accept that, its the crown where i was hoping for some gains. ill be honest at 2k its a gamble i felt was worth taking. okay i know it might be an expensive gamble and all that, but if it works great, if it doesnt, then well at least I still havent spent more money than i can afford at the moment.

Apologies if it sounds like i am brushing of some of your comments RE AHS, but having paid for it now, I see I have little other choice than to continue with it.

At very very least it has resolved dandruff/inflamation and spots.

Cant be too down beat about everything now can i?

You may get less balder but still BALD !!

It is not necessarily a good thing to put it that way. A better bald is still better than balding badly - and every little bit helps.

Since you have already paid up front - and if we can assume you cannot get your money back, you might as well stick with it the full time that you paid for. If you feel this treatment has helped you, then you know that you can treat your hair loss yourself - and likely for a whole lot less money. If you feel their laser has helped you, you can buy your own laser comb. If you think their tablets have helped you, you can buy a good quality Saw Palmetto complex at your local pharmacy. If you think their shampoo has helped you, you can buy good quality sulfate free shampoo at your local store. Rogaine/Regaine foam is also available at your local store. You do not need to pay so much money for such treatments.

One question I have for you though. In your first post you mentioned that you had electrolysis treatments. That statement puzzles me. Electrolysis does not repair hair follicles. Electrolysis kills hair follicles. Can you clarify?

Right, so my 3 month check up is on Saturday. This is apparently the time when i should start to see hair grow or at least start to grow- will give some feedback then and some photos.

made the decision to see it through anyway as ive paid for it. will let you all know how it goes.

kushaldo,

My younger brothers 19 year old son started generic Finasteride about six months ago. He is already showing improvement. My older brothers 21 year old son started Finasteride at the same time. He is also showing improvement already. Neither are experiencing any side effects at all from Finasteride.

Absolutely! Take the time to try to stabilize it and grow back what you can if you can first. Then think about hair transplant surgery.

Holy Cow! If your younger brother's son is 19 year old, then what is your age? 60? At that age, you must not be even worrying about your hair loss, Miss Tracy!

Tracy, for all that is good, do not let anyone in your family reproduce. Your genetics are flawed.

But if in future they find a cure for baldness with no side effects, then baldness gene would be no deal, right!

Don't worry about Tracy passing her gene. If her younger brother's son is 19, you can well guess she is at least over 50, well beyond the reproductive age, LOL!
