    Hi Aiyosh,

    In my opinion if you have to choose between Revivogen or Hairgenesis, you might as well just shave your head and move on.

    There are only two FDA approved treatments for the prevention and treatment of hair loss. Hair loss is a medical condition and needs to be treated with real medication. Your first choice in my opinion would be Propecia, your second would be a minoxidil based product assuming you are dealing with male pattern hair loss.

    Dr. Lee's new ******* formula contains 15% minoxidil, 5% azelaic acid and 0.1% finasteride by weight. This might also be a reasonable choice if Propecia alone does not do the trick. However I would probably start with a 5% minoxidil solution before bringing in the big guns.

    Hope this helps.

    I am not a physician. My opinions and knowledge concerning hair loss and its treatment are based on extensive research and reporting on the subject as a consumer advocate and hair loss educator. My views and comments on the subject should not be taken as medical advice. Always seek the advice of a medical professional when considering medical and surgical treatment.

    It's like trying to navigate a minefield when you start to lose your hair and want to do something about it.

    It's really too bad. Balding is bad enough.

    Spencer, this is interesting ... I have never heard of a product (like *******) that combines minoxidil and finasteride? If minoxidil is topically applied, and finasteride is orally taken, how does one product combine the 2 drugs?

    Thanks!! TeeJay

    I've never used Revivogen, but my mom did. She didn't get any results from it.

    Hi Spencer,

    Thanks for you reply!

    I saw on hairgenesis that they are FDA approved. But would it be because they are approved to be save to use but not for hairloss treatment??

    I am using Propecia already, it does help with the top (center) of my head, but it doesnt help with the hair line at the front, so I am thinkin of ******* Lotion. But the problem is if 15% Minoxidil really help, howcome regaine doesnt hav a stronger version of the product..so I kinda worry with the use of *******...and also the function of Azelaic acid, it is not FDA approved.

    Kind reagards
