Dear Hairsite,
Having spent some time
on the Topicals forum, I know how many folks out there are looking for
decent before-and-after pictures as a way of gauging the objective
success of various regimens we keep hearing about. So, I decided
to send in my own pictures in the hopes that they may be of interest
to some HairSite members. The two Before picturess (I'm wearing a
white shirt) were taken in August 2002, right before I started a hair
restoration regimen - at age 39 - that I'll detail as follows:
Remox I (minoxidil 5%, retin-a .025%) - twice a day all over scalp
Remox II (minox 12.5%, retin-a .025%, hydrocortisone .01%) in
frontal/temporal area
Nizoral 2% shampoo 3-4 times per week
Vitamin B6 - 50 mg daily
Vitamin B12 - 1000 mcg daily
Vitamin E - 800 IU daily
2 multivitamins daily
Also, about 6 weeks ago,
I added 320 mg per day of Saw Palmetto (standardized extract), and
this seems to have helped with frontal regrowth.
The two After pics (I'm
wearing a blue shirt) were taken in August 2003, so they represent
approximately 1 year on the aforementioned regimen. As you can
see, I've experienced great regrowth in the crown area, and more
modest regrowth in front. I have no idea how representative
these results are, but I'm hopeful that others may experience similar
success.
Best regards,
algorithm
