Senior Member blowdry Posted March 21, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted March 21, 2008 I have been on propecia for 6 months now, will that help reduce the chance of shedding if I start now doing the FOAM???. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted March 21, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted March 21, 2008 Hmmm, I wondered this also recently. My guess would be "no", as the shedding is not actually "losing" hairs, like shockloss, but rather a reaction to the treatment taking effect. ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash. Follicles have asked for centuries, in ten languages, as many times so as to confuse a mathematician. Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

Senior Member blowdry Posted March 22, 2008 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 22, 2008 You make my point when you say "but rather a reaction to the treatment taking effect." So here it goes again, being on Propecia for 6 months would have shedded the weak hairs....so when I add the Foam now,there should be no more shedding.......Any docs on here??.

Senior Member stevo Posted March 22, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted March 22, 2008 Give it a go as you will never know until you try it out. When you shed it isnt going to be a noticeable amount anyway. 2600 grafts Dr Feller 28/01/08 3024 grafts Dr Feller 15/01/07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin E.Tessler M.D. Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 inasteride is much more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin E.Tessler M.D. Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Many feel that the shedding is from new hair follicles pushing out the old hairs. Rogaine would not stop this(nor would you want it to). I only recommend Rogaine in my younger patients to use in addition to propecia when they want to do "everything they can". I feel propecia is much more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hairdude83 Posted March 23, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hi guys, Just got confused.. Propecia is same as finsteraide? it is the same thing? doesn't matter if you take propecia or finalo or finscar or proscar, they are all the same thing? And also I been taking fins n propeica for the past 3 n half months, dont see nothing so far just shedding. Thinking about giving up in one months time though, if the hair fall dont stop. btw i am taking.5mg per day. cheers Propecia .5mg 1/2 tablet of hairscript formula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin E.Tessler M.D. Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 propecia is finasteride. You should only take 1 mg per day. Proscar is 5 mg per day. You need to stay on it for a year to see really good results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MrJobi Posted March 23, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted March 23, 2008 I never used Minoxidil as I felt it was too much of a bother and quite messy. I guess I have a silver bullet in case of a poor future ( knock wood) JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations. I am not a doctor. Total - 5621 FU's uncut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
