Re: Hair Clubs: Bosley, Hair Club For Men and other options

mrsmith, Have you considered using propecia or 1/4 of a proscar once every other day. Dr. Wong from Hasson and Wong told me that even 3 times a week should be effective in keeping your hair while minimizing the possibility of side-effects like gyno. Sam 3 times a week? I may go back to fincar or fi...

Can anyone explain the differences in each group and what benefits they may offer? I haven't ordered more information, but I'm interested in a stage based solution....

I think I noticed better results using finpecia after only one month. However, I had been taking large doses of saw palmetto for 3 months prior. OCuld have helped it. Fincar - I've been taking it almost 3 months I suppose and the improvement has been very marginal if there at all. I am going to give...

How long will a moderate Dermatch application last when applied every day?

I've had one small tube of "couvre" since late December and some Toppik for about a month.

Dermatch


Do you have to wear hairspray with dermatch?

That's the only way to hold toppik in and I'd rather not have to mess with it.

Also; Can you leave Dermatch in and apply minox over it in the morn and night?
I prefer to wash my hair and apply a concealer every other day.

How long did one disc of dermmatch last for you? I know people are different. I'm not slick bald anywhere, but on my temples (Norwood 2-3)

Top is thinning, but hair is there and looks great with moderate application of Toppik.

Fullmore and/or Toppik: What's the difference?

I've tried Toppik, like it but it seemed to hinder scalp breathing and is messy. Couvre... I've had a tube since December and it works, but takes longer to apply than Toppik and doesn't "thicken" hair. I'm more diffuse with a small crown balding spot. I also have a Norwood 2-3 hairline. Toppik was g...

I searched and found no topics on "Procede". Their claims are astounding and I would love to just make one application a month.

BUT, here's what I bet they are banking on.
They predict that most customers will NOT drop the other treatments in their regimen.
