i have tried every natural remedy you can think of for about a year, including viviscal and unfortunately i couldn't see any differences. And i have seen couple of doctors both private and gov, did blood test, eventually all will lead back to finasteride and minoxidil, i chose not take that path and just accepted my fate of balding. Btw i'm only in mid 20s. Arghhhh........

These are the two real deal.

Former needs Dr consult and checks and has potential side effects, the later can get from pharmacies.

The more you wait the more follicles you lose, once completely lost even the two cannot help.

Anyone did FUE hair transplant? Any experiences and recommendations to share?

I'm already on Fin and Minoxidil and it has helped quite a bit. But I'm thinking of "reclaiming the lost territories".

Topical Minoxidil coming to 5 years
Fin is oral pills around 6 months. Fin has been the real game changer for me and I regret not taking 5 years ago. I haven't felt any of the acclaimed side effects so far.

honestly i have been looking for a solution for 10 years already. whatever people say good/advertise i try. in the end only Rogaine, Propecia, Revita Shampoo works.

best to start treatment asap to save as much hair as possible and higher chance of regrowth.

Rogaine Foam somehow works better than topical solution. i think it covers the area better. use twice a day.
can get from Ebay local seller. fast shipping. half the price then get from guardian.

Revita shampoo - no need to try any other shampoo. i tried almost all. only this works. abit expensive but its all worth it. come in 2 sizes. the big bottle can use a long time and value. can get from lazada or shopee. using their conditioner 2 to 3 times a week help ur hair become less dry and healthy. drop lesser.

propecia - ur last resort/desperate attempt. have side effects. get from hospital. need see doctor to get. one tablet a day.

I just went NSC for consultation, given Rogaine, and finasteride. So far I have not taken finasteride yet, not sure if I want to take the risk of having side effect. Any advise?

could you advise the cost from NSC? Is it a must to go polyclinic to get referral letter to get the subsidised rate?
