In my personal opinion, I think that you should go with propecia.

Make an appointment with a dermatologist to see if he will prescribe you propecia. Actually, when you go for the visit ask if he will prescribe you Proscar instead of Propecia. The active ingredient in Propecia is finasteride and Proscar contains finasteride but in a 5mg pill instead of a 1mg pill. What you do is cut the Proscar up into 4 pieces with a sharp edge and you end up with 1.25mg of Finasteride in 4 pieces. It is a way to save money.

the lasercomb is pretty expensive. Currently I think it is over $600. You use it by placing it on your head and moving it every 4 seconds.

It has to do with low-level laser light. I personally think that it can be beneficial to a hair loss regimen. I think that it helps with scalp health and the condition of the hair.

It is by no means a miracle treatment though.
