Strictly propecia.. Why do you ask?

Hi pika365,

I asked because I wasn't sure if you had stopped using Regaine or not. I do think it would help you. Especially now that you can be reasonably sure you have slowed or arrested your hair loss. If you do decide to start using it again, use the foam and taper up to the full twice daily dose over time. You might also want to think about using Nizoral shampoo once a week.

I am beginning to believe that maybe females respond better to treatment with the laser comb than males do. I do not have the means to make that determination though. I know there are some guys on here who use the laser comb. Maybe they will eventually see this thread and post a comment.

Take care,

Tracy

Oh ok thanks.... brilliant and in-depth advice there. If I do the regaine it will have to be once at night.. no more due to work etc.. greasy stuff!

Anyway do you think I will see accelerated growth when on propecia and regaine? How long for results?

I use alpecin shampoo on a daily basis.. good quality stuff that

The foam is not greasy at all. It dries quickly, it's easier to use and no one can tell you have it on your scalp. I use the foam myself in the mornings and save the liquid for my evening dose.

I think you are more likely to see regrowth with both Propecia and Regaine. Propecia only "allows" hair follicles that can still grow hair to grow hair. Regaine "stimulates" follicles that can still grow hair to start growing hair again. It takes about four months before you start seeing regrowth. The regrowth looks like baby hair at first. Then over time and hair cycles the regrown hair transforms into normal hair - as long as you keep using the medicine. This takes a pretty long time but using your laser comb will help.

Alpecin does nothing to treat hereditary hair loss. The active ingredient in Nizoral is Ketoconazole. Ketoconazole is one of the meds listed as being helpful in treating hereditary hair loss.
