Hi everyone,

It has been a while since I have participated in the forums. I build HLF in 2002 as just a place to share my own experiences with hair loss and my battle against it. I have tried many a product and treatment in my own battle, and eventually I resorted to hair restoration surgery.

The hair restoration surgery went a long way for me in my own battle, and for the past several years I have not used any products specifically to fight hair loss, even though my surgeon suggested that I get on Propecia and stay on it. I complied for a while. And even used Avodart for a while. But I stopped taking these pills out of concern for my longer term health. Fighting hair loss takes a second seat to overall health if you ask me. Not that I am against Propecia. I am using it currently as a topical, so that it reduces the chances of systemic effects.

Which brings me to the purpose for this post. It's 2014. What are you all using? I want to compile a list of what people use and why. Whether topical or internal. What are you using and what are your favorites, and why? I have asked this in the past, but it's time for a re-up of this question.

I personally own an OMG Laser Messiah which is no longer working, but I did in fact love that product. Need to get mine fixed! I think laser treatment is a no-brainer, all options considered. I got good results from it.

My favorite products of all time:
- Topical Finasteride
- Minoxidil Shampoo from Lipoxidil (discontinued, but by far the best minox product I ever tried)
- Inflamil (amazing product that is discontinued, also from Lipoxidil)
- Xandrox (from Dr. Lee, also discontinued... sigh)
- Revivogen
- Laser Helmet

Yeah I know I have discontinued products in my list, but I'm an old-timer in this fight now... Those were my favs. I am ready to try all the new products that you guys suggest are worth trying, and I will start reviewing them here again.

So let me know, what do you use? What do you like? What do you love?

Regards,
Sam

I don't blame you for wanting to stay off of Fin/Dut for your long-term health. One could debate whether there's really a problem taking 'em long-term but I'm of the camp that says it doesn't make a lot of sense..for sure not health-wise. That and any other drug- it's not exactly the best thing to take any and for sure long-term unless your life really depends upon it. Even many supplements/herbs shouldn't be constantly taken for long periods of time. Rotation at the very least.

I'll edit this later this week on products I currently use and my previous favs. Inflamil will definitely be on my list as well..still can't believe that product was discontinued and that no one has tried to copy it.

Hi israelite and thank you for your response. What would you say you like about promox? I will check it out btw. Not sure if "all natural skin revolution" and "experimental ru" are products or if you meant something else.

Cheers,
Sam

No..I wish there were. I should have ordered more of the vials right away- I've never been thrilled with using those vial products but these actually come with a plastic applicator tip thingy that snaps or screws on the vial and, well..I should really stick with 'em a bit as it doesn't make sense really to go through just one box..even if I can stretch each vial out a bit. And even though I'll be using the spray/tonic as well(different time of day)

Shipping was $60 :shock: Got here in a few days though..I wonder if they can ship it slower and cheaper..although I wouldn't be too thrilled with it sitting around in the heat somewhere.

Where's Mark at- Group buy! Actually they did list prices for bulk orders..but I think for the vials it was 100 boxes. Not sure about the tonic.

The tonic/spray is nice..the vials I'll have to let you know but I'm going to assume it'll be similar as far as how it feels etc. Results- you'll really have to wait for that update! I would really like to get one of these first before starting the vials though: http://ubiomed.en.ec21.com/Micro_Needle ... 59930.html I still don't get the "Santa Claus in my dermis" for that device :lol: ..maybe it just means a gift for the skin :-k
