boroc - no, it just shrinks them until they are nearly invisible, same as mpb. minox brought them back, but they fell out when i stopped using it. but maybe ur right, maybe it works to fight mpb in some way, rather than repair.

Kinda OT, but just wanted to say thanks for continually finding and posting about possible new treatments, very thankful!

I tried it, on some hairs I had removed via electrolysis....which Minox brought back temporarily, did nothing for me =/ If it works with stem cells it should had revitalized the hairs I tested it on.

Do you know anything about Aminexil? I believe it's an analog of Minoxidil, but is suppose to prevent/reverse fibrosis and hardening of the follicle.

Dr. AQ, can it be purchased via other means? I live in California, and suppose I could travel to Irvine if I had to.

Thanks

Pete if it works by balancing immune response, doesn't this mean it could protect/prevent hair loss? Minoxidil is only a growth stimulant, I assumed?

its very popular in asia for healing, its used in hospitals in korea, china, etc.

the burn gel has antibacterial properties, thats the only difference. the restore gel is too oily, but if it works for u, maybe theyll formulate a non greasy formula, they told me to update them on my success, and they seem approachable.

@iluvmyhair How many transplants have you had so far? How many hairs did you transplant on each one? You said you had scaring on your recipient area. Was it caused by a previous transplant? Or was it some out-of-the-ordinary situation which can be avoided in some way? ive had 2. both fue. both abou...

they just didnt survive the transplanting process, whether it was because they were damaged or because of my existing scarring. thats why im hoping i can apply something to aide in healing, and dermaprotein looks good as the idea is it prevents hairs from shedding, so my new transplants *should* gro...

What products would you recommend to increase the survival rate and healing of a FUE HT? My last one didn't grow in so well, even though I went to a top doc, I beleive this is because I had scarring in the recipient area. Thought about something like Dermatopoietin to prevent the new hairs from shed...

Could this help improving a hair transplant survival rate?

Nice as a styling agent, for those with naturally thin hair. Doesn't do much for those who are losing it, but I know there are many others with thin hair, like me, who could benefit from this. A+

thanks! i wasnt sure, wanted to post in the main forum but most posts are made by you, and didnt know the rules about that

im game for moving it

they are always very quick to reply to my emails

Im interested in a topical probiotic shampoo, but am curious, if probiotics mattered that much, why wouldnt our hair be falling out from the sides and back also? our hair in the mpb pattern is sensitive to androgens, but ... where do probiotics come into play?

the thing that always confused me about progesterone is the fact that it could act as an antiandrogen, or an androgen! i mean how do you know what its going to do? it always seemed to me that it could HURT hair. thats why id prefer topical estriol.

tgf-b1 is harmful, yes?

What would you guys reccomend as the absolute best choice for healing older scars? I am planning on undergoing a HT, and I had already some poor HT work done and removed a few years ago, and it's left me with scarred tissue under the skin, which is not optimal for undergoing another procedure as it ...

I emailed Elsom, and they replied with a pretty in-depth e-mail on how it should work, and it sounds simply like growth stimulators, but rather nothing to protect/prevent androgen-inflicted damage. While it may be great for some, I don't think it's what I want, unless I am mistaken? Basically their ...

how often do you apply dermaheal, is it something you need to continuously apply? define "results"

thanks

They are. I've been in touch with them, they market their product to research facilities, not individuals, and definately not for hair-loss. I'd love to learn more about it though, how it works, etc, as I'm very curious.

Thanks! I looked into the ingredients, not sure how Terminal works, as I don't recognize anything much. Looks like I'd have to give up all my topicals to properly do the regimen. Can you explain what it's suppose to do? Heal follicles? Out of all the cool things out there, so many talked about on th...

what do u feel has been the most helpful from elsom? what would u suggest to someone? im 22, losing hair in front - very minimally before propecia, propecia has made me shed like crazy, even 9 months onward, and caused some vertex thinning. idk what to do next. fluridil/topical spiro havent helped. ...

Jacob, does this help heal follicles, or is it simply a growth stimulant like minox?

and how is your hair loss now? did you find anything that successfully stopped it or regrew hair? or are you still losing?

im game

how can i try the new formula? are you still accepting testers?

cheers

being in the sun raises vitamin d, and vitamin d has been shown to increase T, (and i think also DHT), if anything it might help grow body hair, but definately not scalp hair. you need to remember what makes body hair grow is what kills scalp hair in MPB susepticle men.

himinal - any update? your story of the hairline getting worse, makes me think it could be the fact that vitamin e is known to raise testosterone, and i beleive the hairline is more sensitive to testosterone than the crown. im eager to hear if your hairline got better, if you stayed on vit e, or wha...
