Thanks for posting your comments.

I just did a quick lookup on IHT-9 as it appears to contain a number of herbal medications, some of which are conjectured to stop hair loss. Though I have not studied every ingredient in this product specifically, none of them have been proven through clinical trials to treat male pattern baldness or stimulate hair regrowth. However, as the old saying goes, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. If you feel it is helping you maintain your hair, great. I do encourage you however to share your before/after photos on our hair loss forum at http://www.hair-restoration-info.com/eve since it is such a “magical” solution for you. I have seen a great number of written testimonials that turned out to be covert marketing. It’s a sad reality, but that’s why the proof is always in the results and pictures can help convey that.

Thank you for your professional imput on this highly important topic. It does appear that the best remedy is to swtich to another medication that doesn’t contain beta blockers that effectively treats A.Fib.

I assume however, that you wouldn’t have your female patients use Propecia (finasteride), unless under certain conditions? I know that women who are of child bearing age and want children are advised against taking it.

Thanks,

I am surprised the host of this site does not talk highly of Bosley, as I had my first procedure done in Dallas and the second in Atlanta and both were smooth and professional experiences.

I was a Norwood Class 5 before the first procedure. The difference after a year has been night and day for the positive! I almost didn’t do the second procedure because I was so satisfied with the first one. I am glad I went through with the second procedure, as it was a great experience and within two days I was not wearing a hat and nobody noticed the new grafts at all!

My Bosley experience has been great! The only downside I see is the price, as it seems other places charge less, but I’d rather overpay and know I’m getting an experienced surgeon with a good track record than underpay and get a bad operation!

For the record, I do not have any affiliation with Bosley otherthan being a happy patient! :) I have copied this post into several seemingly negative Bosley articles as a satisfied patient rebuttal.

Also note that if you *do* try dutasteride for hair loss, and medical complications result, your health insurance provider will be unlikely to provide financial support for necessary treatment… at least, that often seems to be the case for health complications resulting from unapproved/experimental/unauthorized drug use.

Thanks for writing!

Propecia is not required after a hair transplant, but remember that hair transplant surgery does nothing to stop the natural progression of hair loss.

Though I personally did not have success with Revivogen when I used it, I like to stick to the principle, “if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it”. If Revivogen is truly helping you maintain your existing hair, then stick with it. There is no rule that says that you have to go on Propecia after hair transplant surgery.

Be sure to speak with your hair transplant surgeon about how long before surgery you should temporarily stop using it and when you can resume afterwards.
