I took topical fin (https://www.minoxidilmax.com/maxogen-x-topical-finasteride-8-minoxidil-retinoic-acid) and had sides right away within 2 weeks and stopped. I had sides with topical fin also. I just sent a request to fueclinic and for 100 bucks might give it a shot...

WTF result...do you take any meds?

Can you share pics?

So, finally I got my first bottle of topical fin i.e. Maxogen from and after one month of using 0.5ml on alternate days - I'm experiencing reduced libido. Recommended dose is 1ml everyday and I only used 0.5 ml every other day and still libido is down. For now I have stopped it and see if things recover quickly the next week or so. Will report back.

So basically I feel a bump at the hair follicle and the hair falls out with the root. Also the scalp is itchy and red bumps appear every now and then. I did go to dermatologist and they have clobex steroid spray to help with inflammation but I was wondering what will happen if I do an HT - will the transplanted hair stay or eventually fall out.

I have itchy scalp for many years and lost lot of hair; turns out I have LPP i.e. Lichen Plano-Pilaris and I'm NW6-7. I was wondering: 1.) Is anyone here with the same scalp condition? 2.) If I get HT, will the transplanted hair stay? Thx.

I'm in houston and was looking for same and came across Dr Amiya Prasad who seems to tailor his PRP treatment specific to each patient rather than a template solution. https://prasadcosmeticsurgery.com/hair-restoration/nonsurgical-hair-transplant-alternative/

Plz share more, where you did it. how was the procedure etc?

I reached out to ACELL last yr and they told me Acell is NOT authorized for use in Hair/PRP.. but I guess it works.

You have so much hair LOL. You're not bald at all and I hope you stay that way. Good thing is you did PRP and other checks even before your hairfall got worst so very good timing and good results.

Can you share some pics?

This is the exact info/example I was looking for. 3500 is a lot of money so we need to understand if these things work at all before jumping the gun. For now it seems all the "Great responders" of these therapies are on the docs websites.

Thx for the reply buddy. This option would be super extreme for me, I wasn't even able to handle the Fin side effects and stopped it. I'm curious if you chose this route?

I'm totally realistic in my expectations. I know I can't get a full head of hair and I just want decent frontal coverage and some crown coverage (and use toppik as necessary). I hate my hair now...can't believe I could comb my hair in 2018 and in less than two yrs pretty much gone even with all the different things I tried. Fin didn't work for me but I want to try topical fin. PRP/ACell/Exosome are very expensive so I wanted some real life examples before making a 3500 spend.

Thx for the reply. Can you share some pics of your hair if you're ok. Would love to follow your progress. Dr McGrath is is Texas and so am I so that's a good thing, he even has an office in Houston which is local for me. Dr Amiya Prasad is in NYC but I can go there if needed but I want to see if anyone here has had any luck with "Regenerative medicine".

We need to ask Dr Konior if he has any black friday deals for next year LOL.

Keeping it short...I have tried everything from Rogaine/Big 3/Massage Oils/Laser Cap/Vitamins/Biotin/Micro Needling....Absolutely no improvement or growth. Propecia/Fin gave me side effect so had to stop. Haven't tried the non-oral version of Fin but thinking about it. I have a question specific to PRP+ACELL or Exosome therapy - the cost is around $3500.00 and wondering if there's any case from this site where someone got positive results. On the docs websites (Amiya Prasad/McGrath Medical etc) there are a bunch of cases but I want some reviews from old timers here. https://mcgrathmedical.com/news/dr-mcgrath-presents-acell-prp-on-abc13-houston-tx/ https://nyhairloss.com/hair-regeneration-photos/ Also, There's PRP deals on Groupon for $500.00-$600.00 (no ACELL etc, just regular PRP) from some well established spa clinics owned by docs - Has anyone tried those? please share thoughts/feedback.

hey it's been many week...I hope everyone grew all of their hair

I had side effects from Fin and stopped it a year ago but I did read "horrible" stories in body building forums on PFS and I was shattered. I'm back 100% but I feel bad/sad for who hasn't. Hang in there and follow protocol and hopefully you should be over it.

wow what a transformation!! Is Eugenix still taking in international patients...?

I was waiting for some real life examples to take the plunge myself. The first bottle is 70 dollars at my local pharmacy so maybe I should just go for it. I'm advanced NW6 diffused so not sure even if it's worth the effort.

Do you know the price? Do they ship within US?

@zoomster - Did you have some growth in crown because of fin?

@Shifty I tried following your regimen for nearly a yr and it didn't work for me. In your first thread you mentioned - "42 yrs old - hair loss happened really fast (between ages 39 and 41) no longer losing hair - good skin laxity as far as I can tell - decent donor" - do you think you had some other scalp issue that caused hairloss and not MPB? I have been using everything else other than Fin and absolutely no improvement for me: I use: Lipogaine Shampoo Lipogaine Conditioner Azelaic Acid with NO Minox Lipogaine Minox GNC Vitamin Zhou Nutrition Hair supplement (started 4 months ago, taking 1 per day and not 2). Dermarolling once a week 1mm Laser cap twice a week since 2 yrs. I give up..LOL.

Hello All - With COVID putting a hold on my HT plans (most likely at Eugenix after seeing @Zoomster results ), I'm wondering to give FIN another shot. I have been doing microneedling 1mm roller + Lipogaine Shampoo/Conditioner + Azelaic Acid + Hair Supplement (Hairfluence by Zhou) - and not much difference or improvement unfortunately in over a year so these are not working for me. I've used FIN earlier but stopped it due to sides but this time I want to try Topical Fin and I called a local pharmacy here in houston out of curiosity and they knew what they were talking about i.e. qty/concentration/liquid or paste etc. so it really made me excited. Has anyone used Topical Fin and what were the results and experience. Let's not talk about sides etc since there are multiple threads on it already - can we keep the discussion to Topical use of Fin and personal experience/opinion.
