I just did some more reading on Provillus it looks like all there doing is taking Minoxidil 5% (FDA approved) which is basically Rogain and then adding some so called hair nourishment capsules. This is pretty frcken frustrating after being optimistic about some new hair growth treatments just another let down.

LT,
I recently researched and wrote content for our Hair Loss Learning Center website on both of these baldness treatments. Read more about Procerin and Provillus. Best wishes, Bill

Thanks Bill for the info. I think I'm going to get back on Rogain and probably use Nioxin Shampoo for now since I didn't give them long enough chance the last time I used both. I don't want to get back on Propecia I didn't really see it stop my hair loss plus had some slight libido loss.

dabuski, I have already tried Propecia on and off for 4 years had a little of side effects but not enough to stop me plus didn't really see my hairloss stop, I also tried Rogain Foam but I don't think I gave it enough time. I also used lasercomb, Avocar and 2 strip scar HT performed by a below average doctor so I didn't benefit me.

My brother's seen a lot of thinning on his crown for the past year+, finding a lot of hairs on his pillow. He's been on finasteride for 5 months now and now sees only a few hairs when he wakes up.
I've been on it for 2+ months now - we'll see what happens. But I did buy into the Provillus idea and got some. But seemed no different than off brand minoxidil, for a lot more money! I bought a small set of Nixon 9 months ago. Really liked it a lot. Made hair/scalp feel great! But since it was expensive, i bought a L'Oreal Vive Pro for Men Thickening Shampoo. Was so much cheaper and i gotta tell ya - my hair was much thicker. But after a couple of weeks on it, I went to my sister for a haircut. She freaked out at how dried/frizzy my hair become. So - ya sometimes do get what ya pay for. Since she's a hair/makeup artist, she was able to get the Nixoin at discount rate, so got back on it. It's not helped with hair loss but feels nice and tingly Also, I color my hair with a newer product that has natural proteins in it. It really thickens my hair without the harsh chemicals.
