Just wondering what peoples' experiences have been with it.. Ive been using it 2 months are so and i think my hair has thickened up, but i just dont see the regrowth happening. Also, what's the deal with bringing viviscal through airports. im going on holiday soon and im compeltely confused as to what is allowed at this stage, thanks.

Mate ,

Vivisal = Norgil .

The only you are going to do with Viviscal is lose money ......Viviscal is a joke .

Get on Finasteride instead , that is the ONLY effective anti hair loss drug .

ciao

I don't think viviscal or any supplement can give regrowth, certainly there are Very few reported cases of it working.

As for stopping hair loss, I'm open to the suggestion that the right ones might, however I wouldn't put all my eggs in that basket.

If I were you I'd pack anything like that in a piece of hold luggage in the original pack/carton so it's blatently obvious what it is if they search the case.

Hand-luggage will be embarrassing if they turn it out, and if you have them unmarked in a case then there's always the risk of being pulled over and examined where you REALLY don't want to be!

Default Viviscal

I am interested in people’s experiences with Viviscal either taking it personally or clinics who offer it to patients. It is my understanding that it does not re-grow hair, but nourishes existing hair. I’ve heard that it mainly thickens hair and makes the hair (and nails) grow much faster.
Has anyone used Viviscal post HT to speed up growth during the “waiting period”?
Thank you for your feedback.

Viviscal was moved from being classed as a prescription Med to Vitamin in Australia.

It holds not comparison to Finasteride.

Strange that your only two posts are pro-Viviscal. Obviously not insinuating that you are a rep for them but if you are this should be declared. It is seen all to often on HTN.

Apologies of this is not the case mate.

Mike.
