Thanks for your input on this guys! and thanks for the reply Dr. AQ So, what you're saying is that you know of 2 people via email using this treatment every other month over the past year produced 60-70% regrowth? Although I don't doubt your word, I think $1,200.00 is a big leap of faith for most pe...

Melon Collie

@ Jajo - Sorry to hear you had the same experience. Good luck to you with ht if you go that route. You're right there are some very natural looking results....well going by photos. I'd definitely ask to see some patients in person before you decide. I'm thinking about getting on the big 3 or possibl...

UPDATE on A&G complex.... Sorry for the loooong time before an update. Too depressing as there is nothing really to report. I didn't see any progression beyond vellous hair. No need to even bother with pics. Sorry to say I don't think this product will work for me unless possibly as a daily applicat...

Melon Collie

Well, I know I'm past due to post some pics but....I'm gonna give it about 3 more weeks I guess. The reason being, like Huli I seemed to thin overall but at the same time a ton of vellus hair is sprouted up everywhere. Will they turn into terminal hair left on their own? I have no idea. Will applyin...

Melon Collie

HAS THE PEACH FUZZ COME IN WHILE UR on a and G or was it always there. or is it miniturizing regrowth, as in terminal hairs that fall out, then regrow smaller and smaller, just wondering because i frequently mistook the natural miniturizing regrowth happening from mpb, to be regrowth caused by trea...

Melon Collie

Thanks for posting SW2 and Huli, I'm looking forward to seeing your updates. Jajo have you started yours yet? As for me, I've only got one more application to go...... 11th thru 14th treatment - Not gonna bother detailing each application, but I'll give a general description for the last 4 treatment...

Melon Collie

9th treatment 1/1/10 - Shed about 15 hairs while doing the post A&G application massage. Same tingling. Pimples are clearing up except for 2 really big ones. Both are on the crown area. Looks about the same as when I started cosmetically I think. There are a lot of peach fuzz sprouting up. 10th trea...

Melon Collie

8th treatment 12/30/09 - Shed about 12 hairs while doing the post A&G application massage. 6 were short but thick hairs about a 1/2 inch long. The rest were the small thin hairs also about a 1/2 inch long. Same tingling as always. Pimples seem to have lessened but there are still quite a few. Good t...

Melon Collie

7th treatment - Shed about 20 hairs while doing the post A&G application massage. 2 thick hair and the rest small thin hairs. Same tingling. A lot of pimples on the treated area this morning. I counted 30 just in the frontal area using a 10x mag mirror. I did see this before when using the old versi...

Melon Collie

4th treatment - Used the same routine as before....shed about 42 hairs when massaging scalp after applying A&G. Mostly thicker longer hair this time. Still a lot of tingling post dermaroller/A&G treatment. 5th treatment - Only shed about 14 hairs this time. Mostly very small, thin hairs. Same tingli...

Melon Collie

Are there ingredients on the packaging? I am wondering if there is any pg in the mixture as I think that is what really made me react poorly to the first version on A&G and shed a lot of hair. When I tried the pg free version there was no similar reaction and minimal shedding. Yes, the ingredients ...

Melon Collie

3rd treatment - shed about 45-50 hairs when massaging scalp after applying A&G....there was one thick dark one about 1" long, and the rest were thin 1/2" to 3/4' long. A lot of tingling post dermaroller/A&G treatment. The tingle lasted a good hour after the second treatment.

Melon Collie

Question for dr. AQ, should I be storing the bottles in the fridge like the first version? Melon Collie, are you doing that? lemme know. thanks. helpmyhair - Yes, I've been keeping it in the fridge, but bring it to room temp. before using it. I'm looking forward to seeing you and the rest of the tr...

Melon Collie

Thanks IrishPete, I think it's safe to say that we all want this to work a lot better than the original version. I'll keep the updates coming. Someone PM'd an interesting theory about the hair shed I had while massaging in the A&G this morning.... Question: Are there any experienced dermaroller user...

Melon Collie

I just applied the second treatment. I followed the same procedure as before, except I did the second (5 min.) dermaroller right after the A&G and before the second (5 min.) laser treatment. I think I'll do it in this order from here on. I massaged for 5 minutes over the bathroom sink and counted th...

Melon Collie

Brunz19 - No, I didn't.

I cut my hair to a #4 guard Saturday so the hairs are only about an inch long now.

The other photos the hairs are probably about 3.5 to 4.5 inches long.

Melon Collie

Got my hair cut to a #4 on Saturday 12/12/09 Applied the first treatment of the new version yesterday 12/13/09 - Short hair makes it much easier to apply and seems to go further. I will try to get 3 applications from each vial. I used the Lasermax 90 for 20 min. then I used a 1.0 mm dermaroller for ...

Melon Collie

IMO...my hair may have been a little shorter at the 10 week mark, but does look a lot thinner in the crown than the 5 week and the current pic. What do you guys think. Maybe that was a shed that I didn't notice. Honestly, I don't pay that much attention to shedding or not shedding, so it's hard to s...

Hi Joanne, Thanks for the input. I used to have access to that type of camera but now I have a Sony Cybershot 5.0 w/10x zoom. A pretty nice camera but it has a built in...oh duh...I'm looking at it right now and it has a place to put an external flash. Great!!! Thanks, I'll try to get an external fl...

Melon Collie

I received the A&G a little while ago. It was sent priority mail...The bottles are now amber instead of clear. I haven't opened the vial yet, but I imagine it's the same color as before. I'll let you all know when I start treatment. I decided to take some pictures today for documentation purposes. I...

Melon Collie

Dr. AQ, I have a question about the new version of the A&G complex. This is probably answered in the trial kits you sent out but anyway I'm sure everyone would like to know... What is the regimen going to be? Is it every other day until the 5 vials are used then you're done like before, or something...

Melon Collie

Hi All, I 'm looking forward to trying the new A&G formula, but I want to give everyone an update on my hairloss fight.... I think I did pretty well on the first round of the A&G and was very encouraged. I did a second round and didn't get any results that I could notice. Since then I think the hair...

Melon Collie

I got an email earlier this week saying the samples were being sent out this week sooooooo I must be #5. Good to see you're name on the list of trialists Huli.

Melon Collie

Thanks for the pics Melon Collie! I look forward to a pic where the angles and lighting are more similar to the original pic! If you could, it would also be really good if you could try to style your hair the same way and make sure that your hair is as dry as in the original photo. If you can't get...

Melon Collie

Sorry Melon Collie if this has been stated before, but you've only been suffering from hair loss the last few years? or when did you start? I am starting to believe hair loss in the late teens/20's is much more severe and potential treatments are less effective than people who suffer hair loss at a...

Melon Collie

I was playing with the camera earlier today and couldn't get the lighting like the before shot. Not really sure why. I'll try again in the morning.....

Thanks guys for your positive feedback. I appreciate the encouragement. :D Thx for the pics, very generous of you. I have a question! It seems like in your after pic, your hair is darker? Is that because of lighting, hair dye, or maybe the hair complex? Kamui, Your welcome on the pics...sorry I'm no...

beforemed.jpg before 5weeks1med.jpg 5 weeks after A&G hair complex - June 25, 2009 I'm not a professional photographer, but I think you can see some of the results I've been talking about. Unfortunately the vellous hairs really don't show up at all. That and I guess my head is kind of sun burnt.......

Melon Collie

Hey Melon! Last we heard, you were responding moderately positive and your brother an even better result. How have things progressed for both of you?

@Jajo,
Well I hope the PG free formula is ready on time for you, Huli and the rest. I know you must be anxious to try it out. I had to wait about 3 weeks after I got my order in and the wait was just killing me.

Best of luck to you, I'll be sure to post my updates as they come.

Melon Collie

Thanks for the encouragement guys...except you calo! :lol: I just hope it keeps progressing. I am pretty excited about the results so far but it's hard not to want to just buy more and continue using it. The way hair loss treatments have always been once or twice a day for life it's really weird to ...

Melon Collie

OK...I have posted on HairlossHelp and Regrowth under the same name for sometime but have never been a prolific poster so believe me or not it is up to you. I Did my last application last Saturday, May 16th. I think so far my results are very similar to Intricate1 except that I haven't been taking p...

Melon Collie

I am on my third treatment as of this morning. So far not much to report. Maybe a slight tingle but could have been from all the massaging. Slight itch once or twice but nothing continuous or annoying. What I've seen in my scalp/hair: Healthier looking hair ie. more body and managability A LOT of pe...

Melon Collie

Hi Chore boy best of luck to you on this treatment. 1. Is the PRP is the blood looking stuff on your head? (I'm assuming that isn't blood from the dermarolling they did on you. :shock: ) 2. How long are you supposed to go before washing it off? 3. How long before you can expect to see new hair growt...

Melon Collie

BTW the nectarines I keep in the veggie drawer next to the AGHC now look like peaches after only one week.

Melon Collie

I know...right?

Guess I'll go fishin' instead.

Melon Collie

FYI Thought I would post this....I got my AGHC in the fridge, got my 1.0 mm dermaroller in from ebay yesterday and my Laser Max 90 just came in by UPS from Canada today. Well, it looks like that log jam of mail between Canada and California has finally been cleared up :D. Unfortunately, I am startin...

Melon Collie

Bombarie, I think this is as close as Dr. AQ got to answering your question: Jacob, Great points as usual, maybe we should hire you to head the hair product division :D . Yes, A&G Hair Complex is applied topically and does not require dermaroller. In fact we did test a dermaroller produced in Korea ...

Melon Collie

I ordered a 1.0 mm dermaroller off ebay which I plan to use prior to applying the AGHC. Also, a very generous forum member gave me a GREAT deal on a Laser Max 90...It should be here on Wednesday. I've been doing chemical peels on my scalp once a week for 3 straight weeks now. The first week I used Z...

Melon Collie

James,

LOL!!! Sorry I missed that post earlier....this forum is flying right now!

Always happy to make a positive impact

Are you using the AGHC yet?

Melon Collie

Bombarie,

IMO....I don't think I would use gel or anything with the AGHC as it may affect absorption into the scalp or cause some chemical breakdown.

Got this off the FAQ on this page promoting relaxin for Fibromyalgia http://www.customrx.com/women/vit.html Q. What are the side effects of Vitalaxin? A. The know side effects include: * Breast tenderness (for first month) * Morning sickness (for first month) * Occasional increase of menstrual flow ...

Melon Collie

I was just reading a post at Regrowth about Relaxin. It's a pretty interesting read. It mentions some of the things we're talking about here. Autoimmune diseases (even scleroderma), fibrosis, Insulin levels, various skin disorders etc. Unfortunately the supplement is about $70 for a one month supply.

Good Luck to you Baccy! $\:D/$

Did you happen to ask about the home treatment?

Did he explain why the procedure needs to be redone on a yearly basis?

Are the people experiencing the color change storing the opened containers in the refrigerator? When I start using mine, I think I'll store both the unopened and the opened ones in the veggie drawer as I think that's a little colder there and out of the light. Just to be on the safe side. I was just...

Melon Collie

Hogan, Yes, I've heard about using that method for chemical peels before. It is supposed to increase penetration, thus the depth of the peel. Seems like it may work for this too. Does it feel like your scalp is completely dry after you remove the saran wrap? I would think it would be after 3 hours. ...
