ThymuSkin Consumer Reviews

Growth after abandoning Thymuskin
By Theresa from CA, age 32, who has been using ThymuSkin for 9 months:
I have developed a small bald spot above my left temple and was diagnosed with alopecia areata. On the advice of my doctor, I used Rogaine 5% for three months, which did not help. Then a friend recommended trying Thymuskin. I used it for 9 months with no noticeable results. Strangely enough, after another six months had passed, my bald spot filled up. My doctor says small bald patches like that often grow back within two years and he would not attribute this to Thymuskin.

Emerge for Men Hair Enhancer Consumer Reviews

EMERGE For Men Hair Enhancer
By Brian from NY, age 38, who has been using Emerge for Men Hair Enhancer for three months:
I am a middle aged man with typical male pattern baldness (thinning on the crown of my head, some receding of the hair line). To add "insult to injury", the remaining hair I do have is starting to turn gray. Now, I am not really interested in surgery, and I have tried Rogaine, but needed to stop when my wife was pregnant, so I just resolved myself to losing my hair gracefully. However, the dawn of hair loss concealers has been a real boost for people like myself, as I can hide the appearance of hair loss quickly and easily. I ended up trying a few different products (mainly the sprinkle fibers), but found that a little messy and difficult to apply on my own (remember, it's the back of my head that's balding). The product I found to work best is EMERGE For Men Hair Enhancer. It comes in a small tube, with a brush, and it can be applied to the hair / scalp without any mess. The product "thickens" the thinning hair and can also darken the scalp to further conceal the balding patches. It's waterproof as well, so there's no risk of it running if you sweat or if it rains (trust me, I sweat a lot, it doesn't run). I can't say the same about other products - some of them will run, and that's pretty embarrassing to me. If there's a complaint, it's that I went through the tube rather quickly. It sells for about $15.00, and I used it in about 3 weeks. If you want to try something different in a concealer, give them a try!

Provillus Works
by Monty, age 37, who has been using Provillus for three months:
Reading through the forum I have noticed negative reviews for Provillus. I have been using the men's formula in conjunction with some lifestyle changes like nutrition, sleep and relaxation and am noticing positive effects. http://www.increasehairgrowthnow.com\">Increase Hair Growth

Rogaine Consumer Reviews
Posted by Dody in: Hair Loss Treatments
Not for the hairline
By Derek from Canada, age 36, who has been using Rogaine for more than a year:
I have been putting Rogaine on my scalp for a little more than a year and saw some hair growing back in the crown area. But my hairline does not seem to get affected at all, although I always make sure that it gets fully covered when I am applying it. I seem to have more hair growing in my ears though.

Melancor NH Consumer Reviews

Foul smell of tablets
By Thomas from Washington State, age 71, who has been using Melancor for 2 weeks:
I only used the product for two weeks. It seemed to be working, but the bottle developed a foul smell and I was afraid to continue. When I attempted to complain, I found no address or practical means of returning the product. In my opinion the product violates the laws pertaining to fitness for use and product safety.

Reminex Consumer Reviews

Does not help with white hair
By Robin, age 53, who has been using Reminex for four months:
My first impression after using Reminex for two months was good as my hair turned darker but later I noticed that all my white hair was still white and increasing the contrast was not the result I wanted to achieve. Hands off!

World Hair Restoration Statistics for 2008 Released
Posted by Dody in: Hair Transplantation
The latest world hair restoration statistics for 2008 have recently been released, proving that the industry has been growing at a decent pace. The total number of hair surgeries handled around the world in 2008 were 252,000 as against 226,000 in 2006. Out of those 252,000 hair surgeries, 99,000 were conducted in the USA, 79,000 in Asia, 32,000 in Europe and 21,000 in the Middle East. 93% of hair restoration surgeries were performed on the scalp. Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) with its strip follicle harvesting technique accounted for 88% of total procedures, followed by follicular unit extraction (FUE) with 11%. Archaic techniques such as flap surgery and scalp reduction still made up more than 1% of the total. Male patients accounted for 85% of surgeries conducted.
The estimated size of the world hair transplantation market in 2008 was US$1.3bn (almost Euro 1bn). By far the most frequently prescribed treatments to hair loss patients were Propecia (finasteride) with 76% and Rogaine (minoxidil, both solution and foam) with 64%, followed by Nizoral shampoo, trailing far behind the two leading medications with 16%. Interestingly, the most common healing therapy, post hair transplantation, was Rogaine (used by 80% of patients), followed by copper peptides (42%) and low level laser therapy (26%). The average number of grafts received per session was 1,741 and each patient underwent, on average, 1.4 procedures. Hence, the average number of grafts each patient received in total was 2,437.

Turning red
By Peter from France, age 56, who has been using Re-Nature for four months:
I have used this product for a couple of months, but i had to stop coz after some time it gives sort of copper color reflections. Really ugly. I asked the manufacturer and I was told that this happens to people who have more than 50 % of white hair. I understand that no progressive coloring exists for such people. They have to use a hair dye.

Propecia Consumer Reviews
Posted by Dody in: Hair Loss Treatments
Not a cure for everybody
By Rob, age 27, who has been using Propecia for five months:
My doctor suggested Propecia recently as I started losing hair rapidly. I wasn't too worried about its possible side affects because I understood this was the only existing medical option to keep my hair. Unfortunately, my hair loss is progressing too fast, so even though I decided to increase my daily dose of Propecia to 2mg, it seems I am going to be completely bald in my early thirties. I inherited this gene from my father, who started wearing hats at the age of 24 to hide his bald top.

Dermenodex Consumer Reviews

Hair came back
by Ashley, age 25, who has been using Dermenodex thinning hair scalp treatment for month and a half:
I tried it out because I noticed thinning in certain areas. After a month and a half and using it once a day I noticed my hair was growing in thicker in the areas I noticed thinning. I even noticed baby hairs growing scalp line that I never had. I thought it was funny to see hair growing where there wasn't before. So I recommend it but you have to use it faithfully to see result.

Useless rubbish
By Stephen, age 32, who has been using Adenogen for 4 months:
Two years ago I used this product for about 4 months and I am surprised to see they are still selling it. Don't waste you money on it. It is expensive and absolutely useless rubbish.

A Quick Update on Bimatoprost Hair Loss Study
Posted by Dody in: Novel Treatments
Bimatoprost, a glaucoma treatment that has been recently approved for lengthening and thickening eyelashes (Latisse) is currently being studied for its topical use in promoting hair growth in patients affected by hereditary hair loss. Preliminary reports from laboratory tests with human hair sound encouraging. It has been reported that the topical use of bimatoprost can make hairs grow faster and longer and can prolong their growth phase.
These positive findings may soon result in a clinical trial beginning. Even if everything goes smoothly, it will take several years before this treatment can be approved for treating hair loss on the scalp. Therefore, some hair restoration doctors, as well as some patients, are already experimenting with the topical use of bimatoprost and the first reports are largely positive. One of the obstacles at the moment seems the relatively high cost of Latisse (eyelashes treatment) which is ridiculous when compared with the cost of generic bimatoprost 0.03% from Allergan, used to treat glaucoma. Nevertheless, this is one of the ongoing developments in the area of hair loss research to keep an eye on.
