Guest Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Hey Guys can you help me field these questions? Dear Hairtransplant network, I know that rogaine mainly grows a very thin layer of soft downy vellous hair and rarely grows the strong pigmented hairs like the rest of your original hairs. I know too that and as the rogaine manual says that during the first 2-6 weeks of rogaine use you will experience an even more "increase shredding of hairs(quite a lot of hair loss)" before you start to see results of hair regrowth. The rogaine manual reassures you that this increase in hair shredding is normal so don't be alarmed and is a sign that rogaine is working for you because it is pushing out the old hairs to allow new hairs to grow. My worry and question is, is it possible the hairs shredded by rogaine could be permanently lost or grow back as soft downy vellous ones leaving me worse off down the years with continual use than before treatment condition if I had not used rogaine at all? I want rogaine to improve and better my AGA condition cosmetically and appearances as well not leaving me worse off after using it. I know without treatment of some sort I'll still continue to lose more hair until completely bald. I'm a 21 years male, about norwood 2, have a very thin mild diffused overall crown starting from the vertex with a thin bi-temporal recession of hairline becoming like an M. My crown may be thin, the hairs there are at least pigmented long hairs and not vellous ones. That's why I'm scared that rogaine might shed them and turn them into short light mini vellous hairs making me look worse off. In my case as I mentioned, can I expect to benefit from rogaine and for the better and not worse than before my pre-treatment condition had I been without rogaine as the years soon come by?
