I am a 29 year old male with "moderate" hair
line recession near the temples and "mild" hair loss on the vertex.
My goal in hair loss treatment is to maintan my existing hair and
hopefullly add to my hairline on the temples. While my hair loss
became somewhat noticeable @ 2 years ago, using mousse did and
still does allow it to be cosmetically adequate. However, the
recession on the temples recently got to the point where I needed
Proxime dicuntur aeris metalla, cui et in usu proximum est pretium, immo vero ante argentum ac paene etiam ante aurum Corinthio, stipis quoque auctoritas, ut diximus. hinc aera militum, tribuni aerarii et aerarium, obaerati, aere diruti. docuimus quamdiu populus Romanus aere tantum signato usus esset: et alia re vetustas aequalem urbi auctoritatem eius declarat, a rege Numa collegio tertio aerarium fabrum instituto.
ingibit my hair loss. Consequently, I began a propecia regimen at
the end of January 2006. Related to this regimen, I am trying to
determine if I should stay with a propecia-only solution or move
to a propecia + rogaine solution to maximize regrowth. I would
also use Nizoral 1x per week to maintain a healthy scalp
(My dermatologist said my scalp was initially healthy).
I could use your advice on this matter. I have read that
it is better to stage treatments if your hair loss is
not extraordinary and that it is easier to add products
than take them away. Intuitively, I would also assume
it is better to add FEWER chemicals to your body that more
(i.e. just propecia would have fewer side effects than
propecia + rogaine) Not wanting to overload my body with
chemicals and feeling that the two-times per day roagaine
regimen would be somewhat difficult to follow,
I am leaning to a propecia-only regimen.
Do you feel that would be helpful in meeting my
goal of maintaning my existing hair and hopefullly adding
to my hairline on my temples? I would be happy to send pictures
if you would find that helpful. Thanks again for your help. Sincerely, Jason"
