Revivogen vs Finasteride/Dutasteride

Hello,

What do you think of Revivogen and this recent study, comparing it to Finasteride and Dutasteride: study (PDF File)

The science looks interesting, but it is not clear from this study that there will be actual hair growth. If you want a known DHT blocker, finasteride is safe and proven to work. Nonetheless, I appreciate the link and thanks for sending.

Does Warm Water Followed by Ice Cold Water Shock Hair Growth?

2 questions:

  1. when showering using warm water and finishing off with ice cold, will the cold water stun/stock hair growth or enhance it?
  2. Can pimples where one has had a transplant be popped?
  1. No, but I suspect it would stun / or shock your body. It will not contribute to hair growth, though.
  2. Yes, but use care. Warm compresses will speed up the process. See Scalp Pimples Weeks After Hair Transplants for more.

Rogaine and Diabetes?

I would like to know if rogaine (5%) is contraindicated for use in type 2 diabetics, if so then why? thank you in advance.

(BTW the site is very well done, nice to see doctors who are in touch with technology.)

Rogaine (minoxidil) is not contraindicated for diabetics. Rogaine is for hair growth and has nothing to do with insulin production or diabetes.

Always check with your doctor before starting or stopping any medication as BaldingBlog is not a source for personal medical information or recommendations.

I don’t want hair transplants, what else can I do to get hair? (Photo)

See my picture and see how bad my hair loss is, but for me, surgery is out of the question because I can’t afford it and I don’t like the idea that I will spend the rest of my life chasing more and more hair transplants. Now I look 10-15 years older than I am. I know this when I try to get a date, women look at me differently because of my balding.

There is no other solution to get hair but an alternative to hair transplants is scalp micropigmentation (SMP) as this picture shows. This is a good alternative choice; however, you must accept that you will shave your head on a regular basis at least twice a week. Although this is a cosmetic tattoo, no one will even tell that it is not a full appearing shaved head of hair (when performed in the proper hands). We have performed this in men from 17 – 92 with great results. The man on the right had it and agreed to allow us to use his photo. I think that he looks great with SMP.

Satire – Hair Loss More Painful Than Childbirth

From my favorite satire site, The Onion:

According to a study released Wednesday by the California Pain Medicine Center, subjects suffering from male- pattern baldness were found to experience a level of physical pain at least seven times more intense than that experienced by women during childbirth.

If you’ve visited The Onion site before, you know they have some hilarious articles and photo captions there. And if you’ve got some time to laugh, other classics include:

What do I do about my scabs now 9 days after my hair transplant? (photo)

These scabs (crusts) should have been prevented with good washing techniques the day and the day after surgery. Once they form, you run a risk of graft loss until 14 days at which time you can get them out by leaving a shampoo on the area for 10 minutes, getting it water logged, and then gently rub them off with your finger tips. Repeat this daily until the area is crust free. I take it that you are a female as the hairline shape, a concave shape, is the classic female pattern.
