    Rashes I can understand, but crazy hearth beat from a 5% solution you put on your head? Is that even possible?

    Kinda but hairloss is progressive so I'm constantly in fear of that. Because I get sides from fin the hair transplant surgeons should have ethically told me no. But they were greedy.

    I've been using minoxidil for 4 years. No side effects, no palpitations, no wrinkles. It just allowed me to keep a good density for 2 years. I'm NW5 now though (my loss was diffuse) but I still have more hair than in the parallel world where I didn't use minox.

    You've got to stop scaring newbies from treating their hair loss.

    How much did it slow your loss down?

    It's hardly worth the risk and money for a couple of years of what was probably a small improvement......and how can you say for certain it was Minoxidil that slowed your loss down, or even that it slowed it down at all. I would find it hard to tell unless it completely stopped.

    Unfortunately for me I have a bloody FUT scar so I am hoping something happens sooner rather than later.

    I think the minox dermaroller stuff seems pretty interesting! Maybe that coupled with Wesley coupled with Histogen is all the cure we need for the appearance of full head of hair. Chin up anyway. At least you can skin it and at least you don't have FUT
    I agree with you. Sex drive is the biggest asset of a man's world. Whats the use of having a head full of hair and a penis that barely erects or ejaculates fast. However regarding Dr. Wesely prices, I think its SHOULD NOT be more than $8. Anything above that is basically over priced.

    I think Dr. Wesely should be brave and announce his prices to the public or a guarantee that it wont over $8 per graft to revive our hopes to organize our budget for it. Hope he would call in the Bald Truth for that.

    Guys we are talking about Dr. Wesley's Scarless Pilofocus pricing! What does it has to do with CB and Minoxidil? lol

    This actually sounds like a fairly invasive procedure. Given that, I would expect it to be more expensive than conventional FUE.

    I am starting to get intrigued by this. If it works as expected and allows for regeneration this would effectively be a surgical cure. Anyone with the time and money could restore a large portion of bald scalp. Of course it would still have the limitations of HT with regard to recipient density being limited to what a surgeon can implant, but just imagine what some of the best HT surgeons could do with unlimited donor hair.

    Thumbs up

    Hey all, I just wanted to let you all know that I really do not have anything to add to this discussion at this time.
    Ive said all that I could actually say..there are some aspects to Dr Wesley's method that I (and Spencer Kobren) cannot speak about due to a confidentiality agreement.
    I cant wait to be scheduled for that Pilofocus test later this year...fingers crossed for us all.

    How much? People didn't call me "baldie" before a much, much longer time than if I had never used it. That's how much.

    Minoxidil has no side-effects and costs me roughly 100€ a year. There is no risk, it is a 5% topical solution. People who say they got wrinkles for using minox from like 24 to 26 years old, they know that people get wrinkles as they age right?

    How do I know it was the minoxidil? Simple, that has always been my only FDA approved treatment.

    I can understand the fear of finasteride (which I never used) but minoxidil, come on! I should be slick bald now but I still have like a 1000 hairs distributed equally on my NW5. You don't think it makes a difference? It does.
