WORTH IT
At age 24 I was losing my hair on the crown of my head. I was interested in Rogaine or Bosley due to the various marketing materials I'd seen, but wanted to get a professional opinion to confirm that those were the best treatments for me.
I went to see Dr. Frank five months ago and it turned out to be a fantastic decision. He explained the science behind hair loss in layman's terms, such that it was easy for me to understand. He then studied my scalp in a number of different ways and showed me the effects of the hair loss by measuring the difference between hair strands at various locations on my head. After explaining every possible option (and ruling out several more expensive options), he recommended Propecia.
Today I went back in after five months of taking the drug daily. I was stunned to see quite obvious results! Treating hair loss requires a lot of patience and at times I wasn't sure it was working because the improvement was so small. However, based on the measurements we took today, it's clear that hair is growing again on the crown of my head!

Propecia is an excellent solution, especially for men who are young and have substantial loss due to androgenetic alopecia. Propecia can coupled with things like Low Level laser therapy and once daily 5% minoxidil for additional results. If propecia is not enough, you can add an herbal DHT Blocker to help block DHT in a synergistic fashion.

The cause of thinning hair in males is quite simply excess male hormone.. This is why there is no cure.. The solution is to mitigate androgens.. I’m telling you something your doctor won’t. Too much male hormone also produced adult acne.. If you have this you have too much in our system. Male hormone levels effect everyone differently. Consider women, thick full long hair.. WHY? Little testosterone which “hardens the look of hair in males” Estrogen which protects the hair.. So what to do.. Lessen the effects of the male hormone.. Balance. I would not recommend estrogen for males But what you can do is start to block/ lessen the male hormone though herbs, spirolactone derivatives, while using good hair stimulating products/ modalities Generic baldness is generally a hormone imbalance. Unfortunately this a billion $$$ industry to take your money while not providing follicle challenged individuals the truth... Your going to get little results until you get your hormones right for you... If you want more of my thoughts Send your donations to royalwaters777@yahoo.com
