ScalpMed

hi all. i have been using scalpmed for just around 6 months and have terrific results. its not just minoxidil or rogaine. i have no itch and only been using it at night. looks like i have about 40% more hair on the top and along the front too. most of the comments i have read are from people who have not tried the product so beware of that too.

i thrilled. RH

Hi. I am 44, female and have been dealing with severe hair loss for several years. Its not alpecia, however, at this point there is no explanation for it. I have tried many things, nothing yet has worked. This product sounds amazing and on the infomercial you can try it free for several months. That says alot to me about how much they believe in their product.

I have a real issue with people who post skepticism about a product they haven’t tried. It’s like the people who critique a movie on only the trailers, and have never seen the movie. That’s useless to everyone, because its not even a valid when they never used it.

Hey Edgewater. I’m curious if you have tried the familiar 5% Rogaine (Minoxidil) treatment for 6 months? I’m assuming you have, and it did not work for you. Otherwise why would you go with the Scalpmed treatment?

Please keep us posted. I’m going to start the Minoxidil program this week (using the Walgreens generic formula which is MUCH cheaper than Scalmed). I’m hoping to see results by the Spring, but if it doesn’t work, I may then try Scalpmed.

Best of luck.

I meant Modern Health Labs, Inc in Culver City, CA. Checking with California business registration to get physical address rather than just a PO Box as listed in ScalpMed website.

The reason people question folks even Dr. Rassman is because no one has the answer. One Doctor can diagnose a patient and tell them one thing and other Doctor will say something different and both may put that same person on two different medications. So unless you have tried the product and it has failed for you I don’t trust anyone just telling folks that a product will not work. As has been posted on many blogs and BB over the years “what may work for one person may not for another” and until they finally come out with that sliver bullet for regrowing hair I for one am willing to look into any company that may have something that works. That said we all know there all out to make buck and the hairloss industry is a multi million dollar cash cow so as a consumer you do need to read ,read, and read some more to make sure your not on the receiving end of a scam. I have not read anything yet that would lead me to believe this product will not work for some people.

Do you have free literature on your product. I am interested but would like further information.

Thanks,

Pete

hey sorry for the late reply, i am actually a male, not a female. I have tried minoxidil on and off. However, being young at 22, i am a bit anxious and impatient, so I do want to see something fairly quick and I hope scalpmed does work. I’ve been losing my hair since i was 17 and it is really really really tough to the point where i would just seclude myself from normal activities that people my age do. I have tried avodart and that worked great but i was a little scared about the long term effects that they may give (drugs like vioxx, etc scared me)
Anyway, i called the customer service line for scalpmed and they say one of the ingredients is retinol (retin-A) I’ve seen on the internet that minox and rentinol has mixed reviews. spencer kobren and his socially in-ept loser sidekick (God, this guy doesnt need hair, just more self esteem) say it’s not a good mix whereas others say it boosts the minoxidil and it’s great. I plan on having a hair transplant after 25 with hasson and wong in vancouver BC, so i hope scalpmed would do me a big favor till that day.

Nov 9th, 05 5:50pm. Is there anyone that has acutally used the product yet and could elaborate on it?

yeah but what about proactiv Johnny?

I have oily hairs, fall everytime. Please give me an advice.
Thanks.

I used Kevis and for the first year it worked great then it seemed to taper off…ran out of product, got lazy, hair got thin again. Then I heard about Regenix. Went for the free consult which was very indepth, was immpressed. Matthew McConnehey(actor)is a client! Nice before/after pics. Seemed credible but EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE! So I think I will try scalpmed which happens to be a little cheaper than Kevis. Desperate in CA

Rogaine, Minoxdil, transplants, scalpmed, etc. Forget abot it. You people need to accept fate and deal with hairloss as people deal with other losses such as blindness or something….until science and technology comes to a stage where they will have a cure and the time is not that off esp. with stem cell research because then hair loss will be trivial “disease” including blindness, diabetes, etc. By the way I have tried Rogaine and yes it works but it’s not worth the hassle of putting it on consistently and pay for it for some peachy fussy hair which will not last without drug dependency.

By the way…the lady crying doesn’t say why she lost her hair! These people portrayed on these site could have lost hair due to stree, non-functioning immune systems, medication / phramceuticals, an in adequate diet, a bad colorist or a blind barber.

It’s plain and simple…there is no technology or medicine that can re-grow hair they way you use to have it when you were a kid.

Here’s the facts:
As oon as you are born to start to grow up, grow old and die.

We shed millions of cells a day including hairs and thier follicles. There is absoutley no proof that science is even close to fixing this genetic code unless with the advent of stem cell research.

Don’t throw your money down the tubes!

I’m on my fourth week of using scalpmed. It feels like it’s working when I apply it, but when I look in the mirror, I appear to be losing hair more rapidly than I was before using the stuff. I’ll give the next four weeks and then probably ask for my money back.

the old fashioned way to help your hair problem is to bend over from the waist, and massage your scalp with a thin kitchen or turkish towel to improve the circulation. the problem is that you have to do this for about 5 minutes each day, and be patient. you don’t want to rub your scalp raw, so be gentle. try this for at least for 30 days or more. most people are looking for miracle cure and are not willing to do this. also,if you are looking for prescription drug, check with your doctor about avodart (similar to proscar) which is coming on the market soon. good luck.

Anyone know if it causes hair shedding when you begin using this, and what are the ingredients that makes this one better?

Hello to all. I purchased a two-month supply of Scalp Med and have been using it for four days now. I keep neglecting to take a before photo but will do it soon. I will do my best to keep everyone here posted on my results. I have been skeptical about other products and procedures, in the past, but now have decided to stop the skepticism and give it a shot. I am 34 years old; I have mail-pattern-baldness (thinning in the crown area) I have been experiencing this for several years and, surprisingly, I still have all my hair but it is very very thin on the crown and getting thinner on the upper temple areas. Scalp Med claims to work in these areas, which is why I have decided to do this. I have elected to be BALDINGBLOG’S test subject for Scalp Med and will post about once a week. If anyone would like a before photo, I will email after I take it. Wish me luck.
I have one bit of advice for everyone with my similar situation. If you still have your hair (but it is thin) increase the blood flow to the areas. I believe I have kept my existing hair due to the shampoo and conditioner I use. “Nioxin” Cleanser (shampoo) and Scalp Therapy (conditioner). The two cost approximately $40 total but last for nearly 6 months if used as directed. Your feels scalp minty clean after using Nioxin. It increases the blood flow and keeps the thin guys from dieing off completely. Try it and see.

JC I am getting some hair shedding too and I have been told it is from excess testosterone. I want to make sure I understand what activity I should abstain from, i.e. what activity are you going to abstain from? masturbation?

I am a 28-yr old female with thinning hair in the front and middle of my scalp. I bought scalpmed after I saw an infomercial and have been using it for 3 weeks. So far no new hair growth and I am continuing to lose hair. I am about to give up. Wonder how difficult it is to get a refund. Will keep you posted.

Have been on scalpmed for a couple of months now. Woke up one morning to find ALL of my hair on the pillow. I intend to sue them.

I also saw the informercial for scalpmed, I am so tempted to buy but after reading the comment about hair being found on the pillow the next day I am discouraged maybe I’ll just buy rogaine and see what that does for me i already losing hair do not need to lose the little bit I have left right now im using nioxin not working at all

I began to see my hairline diminish from being a straight, post-adolescent hairline to a light – “count dracula-ish” crown, with the corners of my crown pushed back, and lighter, thinner hairs on the top of my head. This took 4 years, from my 21st year of life to my 25th.

I got on the product on my 25th birthday.
My crown has since regained the “fullness” of hair, and appears straight. Before, I would ask people — compulsively — does it look as if I’m losing hair. I would receive the answer “a little bit” most frequently. Now I just get the answer “No–wait let me see–no, not at all.”

When I went in for a check-up for hair thickness, the live monitor revealed a higher density of thick hairs than previously, and I even used the hair-camera myself to cover the areas I wished. Other products using monoxidil generally state NOT to use the product at your crown. I did with the scalped products, and it worked. I’m going to maintain treatments because I don’t want my hair to begin again to recede naturally.

Started losing hair at 27 yrs of age. To vain to accept at the time so I got a transplant. WAs told it would only take one. 35 years old now, out $7,500, scar across the back of my head and very little difference in overall hair density. If I could do it all over I would accept my baldness, shave my head and be proud of who I am.

edgewater jerz, thank you for your reply. i wish you all the best in your future, its evident you do your research on the subject per past entries. personally i will not have further transplants, considering having my scar (which runs from ear to ear)softened with cosmetic lasers then shaving my head completely. following that i will never spend another cent on hair products. thanks again and happy holidays.

One thing I’ve noticed in their commercials, the before and after shots use different parting and combing patterns to take side hair and cover the bald spots. The hair has been died darker, and from the background colors, the color balance in the photos has been changed. If you decide to give them a try, I would ask the following:

1) What is their success to failure rate? In other words, what percentage of people does it help?
2) If you stop using it, does your hair fall back out?
3) What percentage of people continue to use it after 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, etc. Most Minoxidil generally looses its effectiveness over time, so I would expect that after 1 to 2 years, it stops working and you revert to your natural loss state. Do they have any before and after pictures separate by 1, 2 or 3 years?
4) What are the before and after follicle densities over time (hair density) before and after. If they don’t have any, then they really are not a hair restoration produce but just away to make money.

I am also not impressed by their founder. I work in a very technical field, and he is long on hype and short on honesty. They don’t tell you it’s a Minoxidil mix, and they play fast and loose with the FDA approval claim, which is not really honest. All of this adds up to a slightly more effective topical application of current hair stimulation chemicals, which do not regenerate dead follicles. I wish it were otherwise.

Deepali–“If you do not rinse out the urine, the effect is even more pow-erful.” Yeah, I’ll bet it is.

You say no side effects, but I can think of one: YOU’VE GOT FRIGGIN’ URINE IN YOUR HAIR!

“Say Bob, you look great. Have you lost weight or something?”
“No, I’ve been having my wife pee on my head. Don’t you notice that my hair is more beauti-ful and vital?”
“Yes, now that you mention it. I’m going to give that a try!”
[High five]

Score another one in the Scalp Med column–it’s urine free.

So Sherida – You say you have nothing to lose or gain, but that is a lie. Why does your entire post read like a big advertisement, and why on your page do you include a link to informercial.tv with your affiliate code rather than to the scalpmed page directly? This would show that you DO have something to gain, as you get paid for referring people to purchase the product. I would not be shocked at all if “Sherida” was actually “Scalp Med Marketing Dept”. This product is a joke and a waste of money. If you believe this “Sherida” person, you’re on your way to losing a lot more cash. I’m going to write to Dr. Rassman to see if he will pull your obvious and blatant spam from this site.

Couldn’t resist – it’s better than the urine regimine in post #54 by Deepali :)

By the way, has anyone checked out the site or this product that this person, Rex has mentioned, Curetage.com? Just a little curious about this “natural” product.

Mae– please keep us posted on the effectiveness of those Phyto vitamins! I’m thinking about purchasing them also and they seem to be working for you.

I’m a 21 yr old female who started noticing thinning hair by the time I was 16. I’ve tried Rogaine for women and it didn’t work and just left me with an itchy scalp. My dermatologist says there’s nothing wrong with my hormones, and he even took a section of my scalp to be analyzed and there wasn’t anything wrong with it. My mom is the only person in my family with thinning hair and she’s almost 50 now and she’s pretty much given up.
I saw that informercial for scalpmed and thought about trying it but I’m probably going to consult my dermotologist first and see what he thinks. I guess it’s just hard for me to accept hair loss because I’m young and female and it’s just a miserable feeling to know that there’s nothign I can do except grow older and watch my hair fall out. I try not to think about it so much because it really upsets me but at the same time, I don’t want to ignore the problem either.

My girlfriend has been using scalpmed for three and a half months, with no improvemnt in her thinning hair. THis product does not work and is a scam. Please stop watching the commercials, and call the cable compam=ny which airs them and demand that they shut down the offices of these people. The police might even help. Call everyone you know and warn them of this sinister evil which preys on the weak and stupid. Praise Jesus! Praise God! Praise the crying lady! holy! holy ! holy!

Have been using Scalpmed for a little over 2 months (started on November 1, 2005). I have noticed some small results that I am pleased with. The front of my hairline on the left side is filling in with about 25-30 new hairs. My “bald spot” has about 15-20 new hairs (with some “peach fuzz” coming in as my wife has told me). About every 3-4 days I have my wife check my progress for me. She is supportive but can also have a healthy does of skepticism…she was very surprised when she noticed the new hairs in the front of my hairline.

In the past I tried brand name and over the counter versions of Rogaine/Minoxidol (both 2% and 5% versions) and would get an extremely itchy, flaky scalp. Worst of all I would get a pain in my chest, heart palpatations, and sometimes it seemed as if I could “taste” the product in my mouth (and yes I was using it externally).

With Scalpmed I have not experienced any of this. Like Rogaine/Minoxidol though I still have a fair amount of difficulty in trying to make my hair not look greasy/oily after applying the product and then “styling” my hair.

I have been most impressed with the level of customer service I received from the Scalpmed customer service center. On the Scalp Dextoxifer product it says, “Before washing hair, on dry scalp, spray 20 pumps, covering the entire scalp. Massage gently. Wait 2 minutes. Shampoo with Scalp Med Silk Protein “SLS FREE” Shampoo Cleanser.” Well, I took this to mean that this should be done before each and every shampooing. The bottle says it contains a 2 month supply. I could tell within about 2 weeks that this bottle would not last 2 weeks. I called customer service for an explanation. I was told that the labeling should have been more specific and that the new labeling will be more specific. The product should be used 1-2 a week OR as needed. For my time and trouble they not only replaced this particular product for free…they gave me the whole kit, including the shampoo and conditioner. I was very impressed.

Here is my thought on the product…it has a risk free offer (less shipping and handling)…I was prepared to be one of those people who sent it back. I think the best advice I can give you is this (which works for more than just this product), Sometimes, not taking a risk can be the greatest risk of all. I hope this helps.

Their website sucks …be careful while ordeing ….u cannot add/delete items … I am a Software Engineer, I want to kick that person’s Butt who designed the web site for billing. It is so user unfriendly and non-intuitive

With all the people out there who have been using scalp med is this the best we can do regarding the reporting of results. I do not want to hear from people affiliated with the company, I want to see real results, with the same hair color simply-before and after pictures. I myself have returned to using Rogaine extra stength- for now, however, once I truly see a number of positive testimonials, then I will feel more comfortable in trying this product.

Don

I tried Scalpmed for 6 months and most of my hair fell out. Although I tried to get my money back per their “guarantee”, they refused to honor their policy.

ummmmmm…..you used it for six months then tried to get your money back? I thought the trial period was only for two months. In any case, if you really did have all your hair fall out I would be consulting a lawyer or something.

Scalpmed doesn’t work;its a big scam;

Still no photos of happy users who would want to boast about their results. I contacted Dr. Garcia in Las Vegas and acording to him the people on the website are his patients and he reciomends his patients to purchase the product through his office and try it out before they have a hair transplant-which is his specialty as a plastic surgeon.

I was so tired of waiting for you guys and ladies to comply-so I decided to order the scalpmed-and believe me you will definitely hear fom me whether it works. Currently taking GNC Nourish hair and started taking saw palmetto and 5% extra strength rogaine-however i am going tosee if this so called delivery system really works. I will tell you this I do not have my hair breaking anylonger nor much fall out. I am just a little nervous
about having read today that some guy’s hair had all fallen out. I do not really believe it but what a claim to make. let’s see photos of that huh folks!

OK vegetable seller-where did you get this idea? and how many nights had you done this-was it for the front or back of head that the loss was restored-how long did it take?

I just started taking 2 tablets a day of saw palmetto-and the last thing i need are to lose clumps of hair. In fact it finally stopped coming out
having started a regimen of rogaine and gnc nourishhair-I just ordered scalpmed-basd on a converston ihad with Dr. garcia-so lets see

Hey vegetable seller!
Do u use the same onion everyday or u chop it and use its water and then put it on ur head. And if u could tell me how long do u have to use that method to get ur hairs back.

You guys should be shot. I looked up the lady on the commercial, and called some of her collegues to see if she even existed. I even called her on her job. She didn’t know who I was, yet when I asked her about this product, she answered all my questions without hesitation. She works for a school you idiots! I could hear the school bell ringing and everything. This woman took a moment to answer all my questions before she asked me who I was. I felt so bad, and stupid. I had to tell her the truth. She just laughed and said she would pray for me. Hell, she made me think about going back to church.If I had the money I would get this stuff now, but I’ll just have to wait for my income tax.

If you really wanted to know, you would do some research for yourself. People are not hard to find.

I bet you guys have tried Viagra! Man you guys need to stop acting like a bunch of old tired miserable nagging housewives with a house full of wining babies.

I make my own formula with ground onions, garlic, and sunflower oil to rub on my head. It’s really done a good job but my wife makes me sleep on the couch cause of the smell. Sometimes if I have extra left over I brush it on toasted bread for a snak.

Hey vegetable seller! U didn’t tell us how long it took for u to get ur desired results. Please let me know.. Thanks.

Sorry guys…I’m 29 years old..oops…and i started the medication on the 9 of January…ok so it looks like the stuff weakens ur grey cells. just kidding…sorry about the mistake.

I ordered the product scalpmed and it has now been exactly one month to the day of when I first started using it. First I would like to say that there is no way in HELL that their product lasts for 2 months (each bottle is supposed to be a two month’s supply). I give it about three more days before I have to get into the second bottle. (I ordered a 6 month supply.) Second, they advertise it as being “non-greasy/oily”….or whatever…and that is bullshit too. It takes like 4 hours for the greasy-wet-look to diminish, not to mention the constant effort it takes to restyle your hair over and over again until it does. I still have 30 days to request my money back…so we will see what happens in the near future….oh and by the way, I have yet to see even the “first” hair start to come in yet. I can’t believe some of the claims I’ve read about “I’ve been using scalpmed for 1 WEEK and seeing dramatic results”……what a bunch of crap.

Don,

Your comment “however if it does not penetrate the scalp the way ScalpMed does-and it grows hair in the front as well-then IU have to ask you-who is the one really wasting their money?” is seriously lame. Points:

1) Please explain your assertion that ScalpMed has some inherent magical penetration properties over and above a normal minoxidil solution. If you cannot, as I suspect, than kindly refrain from passing off your ill informed opinions as fact. You’re doing others a disservice.

2) To answer your question of “who is really wasting their money?”, it’s you, dude, and anyone else who contributes to the ScalpMed executives kid’s college fund.

3) Please post a link to the study which shows that ScalpMed grows frontal hair. No doubt you can’t because there hasn’t been one. Opinion stated as fact…lame.

4) Sounds like Rogaine may be working for you. If so, why are you on here promoting ScalpMed, a product you have yet to try? Strange.

5) Asking females who don’t know you to begin a dialogue is scary and Ted Bundy-esque. Creepy!!

Dear mypaljoey,

I am not promoting scalpmed-I am just hopeful that it will work having seen Dr. Garcia’s patient on the web site who clearly had some results in the front and back as well.

Regarding the Ted Bundy reference-I find that uncalled for and over dramatic-clearly it was addressd to anyone who had tried the product-not only women. So don’t be so paranoid- like you I would like it to work and hope it will. I by no means am supporting a product that I have not even tried yet. Don’t you find it funny that no one has proudly offered their photos of before and after-I am simply opening up a platform from which everyday users will be able to show me proof-I am willing to try it.
Out of frustration-believeme-but ease up on the name calling OK?

I’ve had results with ScalMed, on my entire scalp. It Worked for me, Now I’ve been using it for 1 year, it wasn’t perfect two weeks in, nothing is, but it worked. And I don’t need numbers on a longitudinal study to show me because I see the proof in the mirror.

Dear A.Kaempfer,

I am glad you have had results-and am also glad you have shared the
frustration with the applicatin/portioning. Have you kept record-photo wise of before and after results-back and front of head?

My email is listed above in an earlier blog-I would like to see some before and after photos of someone real-whoi is not affiliated with ScalpMed nor Dr. Garcia.

Don,

I do have some pictures, and I will send them to you. I just took some new photos and when I develop them, I’ll send them. Pardon, I don’t have a digital camera, so I’m still riding the technology dinosaur.

A side note to ALL:

I believe that it’s good to be skeptical, but NOT cynical. I hate the fact that I have had to deal with losing my hair. IT SUCKS! BAD! It’s AWFUL and fills your thoughts daily.

And I think that “The Answer” is right to try to make light of this whole thing and LOL. BUT when you end your replies with:

“I can’t wait for the replies to this one”

It seems to me that you are looking for applause and reaction, rather than trying to be productive. There ARE a lot of scams out there. A brand new gimmick everyday, just to take someone’s HARD earned money away, and trust me, I’ve been paying for ScalpMed for a year!! But in that year I’ve seen results and that’s NO gimmick.

Now, I’ve been frustrated at times, felt angry and hated my stupid hair, and myself… but that’s because, you’re right, there is no quick fix pill, or Don Trump would have it and Hollywood stars wouldn’t be bald.

And I think that it is important to call people to the floor and ask for proof such as photos to back their claims… and like I said I’ll have all my photos soon for viewing.

That is not to say it’ll work for you. It may not. It may shrink your head like BEETLEJUICE. (kidding) But it worked for me. That I know.

And it’s hard enough to admit that I’ve had this problem, let alone keep struggling and struggling to get it under control. Am I as Hairy as Robin Williams now? No. But what I am is satisfied with my results and willing to share my experience. That’s it.

Take it or leave it.

To A.Kaempfer
Ok-Cool!

I look forward to seeing the photos

thanks,

To: “The Answer”,

You are wise like tree.
I found, through my struggle, similar thoughts as you. It is a hard road, one I’d rather not be on, but if I’m strapped to this car I might as well enjoy it.

The one thing I will say is that I DO still look at my hair and obsess over it… BUT it isn’t as nasty as it was before, my thoughts I mean, its about your perspective.

Example, One of my best friends shot himself in the chest on X-mas Eve, while his father was in the other room. His death ruined his family, our friend group… everything.

Next to that, me obsessing about my hair is pretty silly.

Keep laughing everybody. It’ll work out.

Well hello!

I see the conversation continues. You know what is actually really good about all of this? Those of you who are skeptical seem to be seeking for something to give you faith in the product. Others are actually sharing experiences. Isn’t this what we do on an everyday basis? Share stories and debate information while we are gathering information?

I really wish I had something magical, or scientific, to tell everyone, but all I can offer is my own personal experience.

As far as the oily hair, I’m African American and I know oil. I didn’t have any hair, but my scalp was dry. Not excessively dry, but I did not feel any oil. My head actually felt lubricated. I had to wear wigs so styling was not an issue for me. If someone has a natural tendency for an oily scalp, it would seem only logical to me that a healthier scalp is going to produce more of what it would normally do.

Anyway, I am happy that I am not the only one who has experienced success with the product.

Oh, I give Jesus all the praise because of who and what He is in my life. My life is an open book, a testimony worth sharing. I was a woman in hiding, but thank God not any more. I know there are many hyprocrites in the world, and church, however there are a few of us who truly love and serve the Lord. I will not be ashame of glorifing Christ. After all that I have been through and delivered from, there is nothing that will stop me.

I will not apologize if Praising God offends anyone.

I have a question: Did or do people insult Proactive with Vanessa Williams? I remember it was an informercial too. My cousin had really bad acne and swears by it. I had awesome results with OBAGI.

God Bless you all, and I agree with the man that got his clown on: I hope you all come to terms with whatever you choose in life. May God “grant you the serenity to accept the things you cannot change, the courage to change the things you can, and the wisdom to know the difference”.

Sherida

Sherida: Please state uncategorically whether you receive any payment from the makers or sellers of Scalp Med or you have any financial interest related to Scalp Med in any fashion.

Sherida,

I too have a strong relationship with the Lord -I always have. In 2004, my mom and brother both died 2 weeks apart . Although I was shattered and challenged my faith, it made me stronger in my resolve toward the Lord, faith and the bigger picture.

I do hope you have had the results depicted by the photos I am awaiting the arrival of the product and am hopeful. So far the Rogaine I use combined with the GNC Nourishhair vitamins and Megamen vitamins seem to be preventing the hair fall out/breaking. I just started experiencing the typical shedding phase that happens with Rogaine, but that is normal.

Something i found when i Googled dr. Peter Helton about his claims toward ScalpMed.

MODERN HEALTH LABS PARTICIPATES
IN ERSP SELF-REGULATORY FORUM
ERSP Review Finds Support for Some Scalp Med Claims,
But Recommends Other Claims be Modified, Discontinued

New York, NY – January 25, 2005 – The Electronic Retailing Self-Regulation Program (ERSP) announced that Scalp Med Hair Restoration for Men and Women (“Scalp Med”), marketed by Modern Health Labs, Inc. (“MHL”), has provided a reasonable basis for establishment, safety, and performance claims. The marketer voluntarily discontinued some product claims and ERSP has recommended the marketer discontinue a specific comparative claim. The marketer’s advertising was reviewed pursuant to ERSP’s monitoring program.

ERSP, the electronic direct-response industry’s self-regulatory forum, is administered by the Council of Better Business Bureaus and supervised by the National Advertising Review Council (NARC). ERSP reviewed core claims that include:

∑ “Prevent hair loss; reverse thinning hair; and even grow new hair.”
∑ “…results that I would get having surgery without having to have the surgery.”
∑ “Clinically proven to thicken and regrow your hair faster than a hair transplant.”
∑ “FDA has ruled that its growth agent is the most effective and safest topical formula that exists for regrowing hair.”

ERSP determined that MHL provided a reasonable basis for the following performance claims:

∑ “Your hair will grow back thicker and fuller.”
∑ “[I]ncredibly effective for both men and women.”
∑ “…liquid actually gets sucked in, increased blood flow…stays on follicle.”
∑ “Thicken your hair the first time you use it.”

ERSP further determined that Food and Drug Administration approval of the Vitadil formulations to “regrow hair” provided a reasonable basis for the claims that hair will “grow back thicker and fuller” and that Scalp Med will “prevent hair loss,” “reverse thinning hair” and “re-grow hair.” ERSP also noted that the marketer agreed to discontinue the claim “…start seeing results in weeks not months” in future advertising.

With respect to its comparative claims against hair transplants, ERSP determined that MHL properly supported the statement “…works faster than a hair transplant.” ERSP further concluded that the claim “…results that I would get having surgery without having to have the surgery,” was not unreasonably communicated and would not be misinterpreted by consumers.
However, ERSP recommended MHL discontinue in all advertising the claim that “…other formulas evaporate.”

Finally, ERSP determined that Dr. Peter Helton’s statement that Scalp Med is the “best product for re-growing hair” communicated a measurable superiority claim that was not supported and it was recommended that the marketer modify the claim in future advertising.

In response to ERSP’s findings, Modern Health Labs stated it “…strongly supports the Electronic Retailing Self-Regulation Program (“ERSP”) and welcomes this opportunity to participate in the process. The company is pleased with the findings that there is a reasonable basis supporting the vast majority of its core advertising claims, including claims relating to the safety and effectiveness of Scalp Med.™ Moreover, Modern Health Labs agrees to consider ERSP’s comments in all future advertising.”

here’s a google listing that points to a page that’s removed….
it shows that avacor was marketed by the scalpmed people.
i think that pretty much says it all about scalpmed’s validity

heading: avacor by scalpmed.biz
body: avacor – Vitadil-5A-SR® (for men and Vitadil-2A-SR®a for women) Rapid Growth formula is specially formulated for men using a patented delivery agent to bring …
green link line: avacor.scalpmed.biz/avacor-14i.htm – 49k – Supplemental Result

it’s worth seriously checking out scalpmed’s claims. simply:
anything you have to buy in bulk over the web or an infomercial…
anything that doesn’t clearly, matter-of-factly state, list, or even reveal its ingredients…
…is SUSPECT. good and true has nothing to hide.

This product is a joke and a rip-off, like any other product on info-commercials. I love how they have to have a busty blonde with her cleavage busting out in order to sell their product. I really hate companies like this and hope they go down hard!

Mike have you tried the product and were disappointed? How long did you allow it to work?

I will tell you this, today I went to see my hair stylist and she said do you realize that you have all new, small hairs growing in along your hairline? I said you noticed it too? she said yeah!-but how Don? I told her that I started taking hair vitamins and started using Rogaine Extra Strength for a month now- after I had stopped a couple years ago. She said Don keep using it-especially since the claim is to use for 1 year to see the full results. I had ordered ScalpMed before the hair was prominent-so i will give it a try-but i have to tell you the Rogaine is working-believe me! I am excited and cannot in any way attribute this to Scalped, since I did not even open the package yet.

Good Luck everyone-wish me luck

Don:

May I ask what kind of hair vitamins you use??

The GNC Manager must really be knowledgeable about the causes of hairloss. Impressive!! Weird thing though, I searched Google for studies showing vitamins regrew hair and came up with nothing. Think the GNC lady was just trying to make a few extra bucks commission and not that knowledgeable after all? Heaven forbid!!!

Don – Is there any hair left on your head to fall out?

I really hope Sherida is telling the truth. Someone who uses God to mess with people’s head should be beheaded. I don’t kid around like that with God, Jesus, Angels, etc.

Then again, just open your history books and you will see people who use God to acheieve a means end….oh wait a minute, 9/11? This world is really really sick.

Anyway, hair transplants soon yay!

TO ALL,

I WAS SCEPTICAL ABOUT SCALPMED, BUT JUST SAW MY SON WHO HAS BEEN USING IT FOR 2 MONTHS AND HE HAS HAIR GROWING THAT HE’S NOT HAD IN A LONG TIME. HE’S VERY HOPEFUL AND SO AM I. I MIGHT TRY IT MYSELF.

Del: I did not get paid to do the commercial, ScalpMed has not paid me a dime. I bought the product just like everyone else. Spending my time to tell others what worked for me, is on me. Could I get paid for this? Isn’t that called a pharmacy rep? I can say that this is one thing that I could sell, because I know for a fact that it works. Pre-paid legal, NO; Mary Kay, NO; vitamins, NO. They did not work for me. Folcalin XR works wonders for my ADHD twins, I can support that as well. Oh, I learned about that from a study I put them in. I guess that just makes a risk taker.

Don: What does all that mean in that posting?

Alison: I had never heard of minoxidal before. I did not try Rogaine. The only people that saw my head were my therapist, my children, and a friend that ran and told someone my secret. That kept me in hiding. The only thing I tried that required me to reveal my secret was the laser therapy. When that did not work, I went in for a hair transplant consultation, and was redirected to ScalpMed. Please forgive me for saying “everything”. The things I did try were things I could get from the stores.

Answer: Jesus loves you. Try Him, it works.

Edgewater: I a not a fool, I know that it is dangerous to play with the Lord. I am only speaking from my own experience. This is my testimony. I live a saved life, and strive on a daily basis to live according to the word of God.

Dougie: Yes I have taken time on different occasions when surfing the net to share my testimony. Why? Because there are many people who are hurting like I was. In everyday life, this is called evangelism. If people can take their business online, then I can definately take my testimony online to reach those who are suffering. ScalpMed is something that truly produced great results for me. I can only relate it to God because it came after I sibmitted a prayer request at church. Who else should I thank?

As for when that commercial aired, I don’t know when the thing even started. I know I had many people calling me asking about it, and stating that they did not know about my situation. I have a sister that suffers from the same problem, but will not go in. I can’t control anyone, or anything but me.

I found out about the product after flipping through the yellow pages for a hair transplant clinic. My attention kept going back to this place. The yellow pages is also how I found Life Like Hair which is where I underwent laser treatments to try to grow back my hair. After going to the clinic for the consultation for a transplant, ScalpMed was suggested instead. I was told that he did not want to take my money on an expensive hair transplant that may not give me the results I wanted. He suggested that I try ScalpMed, and informed me that he used it as well. I was shown pictures of other users and their results. I was shown nothing but confidence and honesty.

I have no idea who was chosen to market the product, nor why. All I know is that it worked a miracle for me, and I will always share what it has done for me.

Pat: PRAISE THE LORD, there is another child of God out there. I am so glad I know who I am in Christ, because a weak Christian will get eaten alive. I am so happy your son is also experiencing great results. Do you think he would be willing to share his testimony?

Sherida

There is too much judgemental religion in this country. Generic religious ideals are great (love thy neighbor, turn the other cheek, do not steal, etc) but when others, as they so often seem to do these days, use religion to judge, exclude, have morally superior attitudes, and so on, it all becomes a big, hypocritical, joke.

It’s a hair growth potion…is there really any need to interject religion into the discussion? Live your life by the ideals…that’s great. However, when you throw references to religion around at every opportunity isn’t it just a little bit of somehow showing off that you are more “holy” than the next person?

Do us all a favor and give it a rest.

I mean….. really… stop wasting space by talking about religion. If you are really a religious person, then shut up and stop arguing and defending it.

Tell me more about Scalp-Med; and think before you type.

I’m 25 yr old female and have been loosing my hair at least for the last 7 years. When I went to the dermatologist 6 yrs ago, he said that I had more than enough hair to continue loosing. He told me that I was just paranoid and nothing else. He said that it was most likely stress and it would eventually stop. I have long black hair and don’t look like I’m balding. But whenever I take a shower, I have to make sure I don’t let my hair go down the drain because I know it will clog the drain. My hair is all over the house. Matter of fact, my expensive vaccuum stopped working because my hair has it all clogged. I see some new baby hair, but I have also begun to notice my part widen and my hair is thinning. I have never colored or permed my hair. I used to blow dry and use the curling iron every once a while, and I’ve stopped doing that all together now.

I just recently went to see my dermatologist. He used to be in the business of transplanting hair before he took over his wife’s practice. He recommended to start using 2% Rogaine. He said that the extra strength formula didn’t make a significant difference in the studies conducted. He said that if I felt too conscious of my widening part, I should consider grafting. I asked him for a ball park on the procedure, he said no more than $3k. I think I’ll wait on the grafting a bit longer. As for Rogaine, I asked him if I could stop taking it once my hair grew back or was it a lifetime med. The example he gave me was that of a blood pressure med. He said, “If you stop taking the blood pressure medication, your blood pressure will rise. Similarly, if you stop applying Rogaine, your hair will begin to fall out again.” My husband and I are planning to have a baby soon, and I mentioned that too him. He said that I could still continue to use Rogaine during the pregnancy since it doesn’t affect the fetus. I told him that I would most likely stop. He informed me that my hair might fall out and regrow after the baby was delivered.

I saw the commercial for scalpMed about a week ago. The money is not an issue if the product will at least stop my hair loss. I don’t care if it doesn’t grow any new hairs. I just want my hair loss to stop. I can live with the hair I have.

The other alternative, is to shave off my head. In my culture, we shave the head of a new born baby so the hair grows back thicker and fuller. I know it’s true because my grandpa used to have a small balding patch when I was growing up.. and six years before he passed away he religiously shaved off his head at the beginning of every summer and winter. He also applied this herbal oil which I always thought used to stink. And he had the thickest head of hair.

The only thing that supports this theory is that the hair on my head is falling, even my eyebrow hair is coming out.. I’m embarrased to say this, but even my pubic hair is falling out. The only place my hair isn’t falling out are my legs because I’ve been shaving them for about a decade now. So if I shave my head for two years straight I should have stronger and thicker hair.

I consulted my family physician and she said that hair loss treatment is tricky. It requires time and patience. What works for one doesn’t work for the other. I mentioned scalpMed to her and also mentioned that the web site stated that the active ingredient was Minoxodil. She said that although she hadn’t heard of it, she would recommend Rogaine or if I wanted I could try Minoxodil. She has me going to another dermatologist for a second opinion and I’m going in for blood work as well.

I think I am going to start using Rogaine next week. I tried the biotin line of shampoos and conditioners found at the Vitamin Shoppe. They worked well for one of my co-worker, but my hair never stopped falling out with biotin.

Don, I am anxiously waiting to see what you have to say about ScalpMed.

Well, my 60 day trial period is coming to a fast end…less than one week left. Unless a miracle happens in the next couple days, I will be making that inevitable phone call to get my money back. I have seen absolutely nothing happening what-so-ever….gee big surprise huh? I have a couple of earlier posts on here. I will keep you all informed of my “refund status” when and IF I get it…..I will be utterly shocked if there ISN’T some kind of catch to all of this. By the way Sherida, it sounds kinda “odd” (for lack of a better word) that you never heard of minoxidil before. After all, it’s the active ingredient in Scalpmed. Are you still paying out the (__o__) for Scalpmed? I suggest you try Rogain for women….you will save a fortune.

Hi Sure why not

I am disappointed for you and probably myself too. That really stinks!
I am not going to tr to get my money back but i may s silly as this may sound continue and hopethat through persistance it may work. I know I am probably pouring good money after bad-some people claim it took longer than 2 months-more like 6 to see results that is measurable. I wish you the best. Worst comes to worst I will return to the Rogaine extra strength-which definitely worked in the front hairline-a little so far-noticeable enough for myelf and my hairstylist to notice.

Thanks for the heads up

A. Kaempfer,

I am still waiting for your photos. Simply scan them and attach the jpeg version. I am genuinely interested. So far i am not impressed by this product-it has only been 2 weeks-but nothing so far, as opposed to Rogaine 5% which has caused hairs to sprout-lol at the front of the hairline.

Mark,

Tell me about the pain asociated with hair transplants. No one ever discusses that-ihear discomfort, slight swellin, etc.. however i ws speaking with a lady whose brother hd it done and se said it hurt like hell-he would not do it again but was glad he did it.-what is you honest experience with PAIN?

Dave and S Spen,
Hey guys,
You claim you have noticed some results at first from using ScalpMed-cool I am happy for you. Now that another month has gone by how are you doing with the product-any photos?

Rick H.

let’s see some photos of the results-I am genuinely interested.

I am anxiously awaiting your responses

Speaking of transplants….I had 2000+ graphs placed seven months ago at my hairline. I must say…..the first 4 to 5 months I was a little anxious to see results, but at this point in time I couldn’t be more pleased. Well, maybe a little…that is why I tried the product Scalpmed. I had my original hairline probably 90% restored with surgery and was hoping Scalpmed would help with the density on the top. My hair on top is “thinning” but doesn’t look so bad….At any rate, tonight I switched to Extra Strength Rogaine for Men and if you ask me…..I think I should have gone with this product before ordering Scalpmed. Yes, it’s greasy/oily…but so was Scalpmed (something they advertised as “non-oily”). At least I’m not paying 10 times the price. Getting back to the subject of transplants though…It is a lot to go through emotionally, but not as bad as most people would think. Yes there is swelling, redness, scabs and a host of other things. Basically the worst of it was the swelling but that is gone after a couple days. After the first 10 days the scabs are all gone, then the next few months it is just a waiting game. I think I had a good experience with hair transplantation, but my best advise to anyone out there who is considering one is…DO YOUR HOMEWORK FIRST.

Hi everybody!

I was away from this page for a while..I am 23 years old and have been using Scalpmed for almost 4 months. Frankly speaking, I am not impressed with the results at all. I have spent over $5000 in hair growing treatments. From shampoos, capsules, and all other crap. Even paid consulting fees to doctors. Travelled as much as I could (just inside the Houston, TX area). I go to University everyday. Wake up every morning at 6 am, take a shower, then use my hair growing medicine, go to school, stay there for almost 5 to 6 hrs, keep my self busy, always worried about my self esteem, come back at night, take a shower again and use the hair treatment.Everyday I saw my self in the mirror and thought that my hairs would be back. I did that for the last 5 years. 5 years I mean. Imagine doing that for 5 years and u get nothing but injury to the insult i.e. hairs didnt come back. Wouldn’t that make you angry, mad, pissed, and even cry. 5 years! 365 days times 5. Everytime u fail, u think about quiting but something from inside tells u that there is still some hope. You fail again, again and again till that crappy commercial “Scalpmed” shows up on your screen. You get some hope but it starts fading when u don’t see any results. I ask you Sherida Devine and all of those people who used Scalpmed and got good results. What if you had done same things I did for 5 years and didnt get anything? You can’t imagine how pissed and angry I am. In this age of advancement in technology and medicine, no body… I mean no body has cure for this problem. I can say that a miracle only might solve that problem.

Sorry for my English! I am very good talking in person but my writing is horrible.

Leo your English is just fine. You write better than I do.

Sherida

I did not end up trying the ScalpMed because yes , I agree w/others here, their site and info looks a little shady, but I did try regular over the counter Rogaine. My doctor advised me, after looking at the website and reading the “active ingredients” in ScalpMed , that basically this is what ScalpMed IS for all intents and purposes, with the possible exception that they include that “hair cleaner kit” or whatever it is. He advised me to save the money, and just try out Rogaine. Results were minor, no huge differences (and there never are w/these things), but no serious side effects.

I also went in the interim to HairClub for Men. Let me advise you against this. It is very expensive, it is permanent ( you have to stay with them and are stuck using their hairstylists for every cut and restyle ,etc), & while it looked reasonably real it was terribly uncomfortable ~ particularly at night while trying to sleep and in the warm weather. Furthermore the front hairline edges of it peel up constantly and have to be “worked with” often with this “glue” and little brush they give you, and I did not like being able to see the somewhat “net-like” looking “base” which was occasionally visible. This made me even more self conscious. It does NOT feel like your real hair, trust me !! Beneath this toupee (this is what HairClub basically gives you , to put it simply), the crown of your head is shaved. As that hair starts to grow back, it itches under there like nothing you’ve ever had before.

The most liberating thing for me was when, on a pleasant warm sunny morning, after not sleeping all night with that damn thing on my head, I got sick of it all and threw away my bottles of Rogaine (like I said, they didn’t really do much anyway), and forcefully peeled off that glorified rug which the HairClub had strapped on me, and took a set of clippers to my whole head. That day I returned the rug, told them I was now moving myself onto the ultimate “maintenance free” plan, as they could see, and I drove home with the top back and a cool breeze calming my previously tormented scalp.

My advice (to all of the guys here at least) is: give this solution a try, men. Let’s be men again. Maybe watch the movie Fight Club if it helps get you in the “mindset”. This stuff is all essentially BS. With the exception of a full transplant, there really IS no “cure” for this problem; only varying degrees of “dealing” with it through these tedious methods such as Rogaine, ScalpMed, the myriad other topical “remedies” available, the HairClub, etc etc. I never felt so liberated as I did the day I buzzed it all off.

Today it’s grown back some, and I now wear it in kind of a military style buzz cut, getting it buzzed short again about every 3 weeks, but it’s cool because it’s kind of ended up looking now like Brad Pitt’s in the movie Oceans Eleven (if not quite as “dense” as his was, lol). But really alot of guys wear their hair real short now, and trust me it looks masculine, it’s MUCH MUCH easier, and it’s overall WORLDS less stressful once you’ve “accepted” it.

And if any female (or male) doesn’t like you as you look, then tell them to just keep stepping; you don’t want anything to do with that type anyway, trust me.

Hi Mark J,

I have not had any expreience with unauthorized billing yet-but will keep a look out. I would not even try to ask for my money back-after the horror stories I have read about returning the product. I consider it a lesson learned.

However, I am still going to finish out the 2 month supply and see what happens. it has been a month for me so far and no fall out or breakage any longer. Also I am seeing some new hairs start to come up along the front of my hairline-where I concentrate on applying the product.

May I ask why you chose not to give the product a try since you had gone to the trouble/expense of ordering it? I must admit my hair looks better than it did before and I chose not to use the cortex enlarger-just cosmetic-not for me. Either way I am a rogaine 5% user for life till they come up with a better product or procedure that does not entail surgery. I have decided not topursue surgery-i have been told that since my hair is not bad and that i am the only one who is noticing a problem-i would be foolish to follow through. I wish us all the bestand lets all keep each other posted if a product/procedure should arise.

Hi everybody!
If you go to webmd.com and search for hair loss treatments, plz dont pay any attention to them. I had used a medicine by the name of “Procerin”. They claim that hairs start to grow within 90 days whereas their claim is totally baseless and I am the living proof.. Took it for almost a year then threw the capsules away. They also have websites for hair transplants; we all know its Bosley Medical. Visited their Houston Center when I was 19 and was told that I am the “youngest patient in the history of Bosley” and that for hair transplant I needed to be 21. Ofcourse, I had tried the hair club by wearing that “carpet” on my head. DRS was 100% right about scalp itching.
Somebody by the name of Vegetable Seller posted his comments about treatment of baldness by saying that he used half onion on his head. Would like to hear from him more.

Its way to expensive to risk

well, I recently ordered it and I want it to work but I can’t say it’s working as fast as it appears to have on the ladies in the commercial – BUT I do have a millagram of a milligram hair growth and the new growth is soft [?] can’t explain it but the texture is coming out soft and managable which is a HUGE plus – mind you, like everyone else who hasn’t seen the results, I WILL be getting my money back, so I don’t think it’s such a loss – since I’ll end up paying less than I would have for any Rogain or anything else [still paying for shipping and handling] so if you look at it that way, why not and I guess it works just as good as the others … get it? :)

The problem is Dina-are they really going to refund your money-keep us posted-they told one guy he was 2 days late-that is just rude.

I am a 50 year old widow who has been through extreme stress for the last 11 years (due to my husband’s illness and death) and recently went through the “change of life” routine. I suspect that my hair loss has been due to these two factors and the thyroid medication I’ve been taking for about 8 years.

I have read both the positive and negative comments about Scalpmed and the accusations that the positive comments come from Scalpmed employees which makes me wonder – how are we to know that the negative comments have not come from associates of this Dr Rassman?

I have a PhD in Health Education and am also a Certified Health Education Specialist so I am just as sceptical as the next person about health and beauty products’ infomercial claims. I also have an MBA and teach marketing courses so I am familiar with the marketing ploys that companies use to sell their products. However, I am going to take a risk, I am going to try Scalpmed, if it’s the same medication as minoxydil then it should have the same results.

I used my American Express card to make the purchase so I feel confident that if I need to ask for a refund that I will get it since AmEx helped me in the past to get a refund from an internet company whose product did not live up to their claims.

I found the comments from men who gave up trying to grow hair and shaved their heads interesting -a shaved head for a man might be ok but I’ve never heard of “bald is beautiful” working for women.

When I read here about the inexpensive products at Sam’s or Costco I considered cancelling my order with Scalpmed but I don’t think I want to experience the greasy products that make your scalp itch and flake, even if they are cheaper, I don’t need more problems to deal with.

I will keep you informed of my experience with Scalpmed. I am going to take pictures, not only of my scalp but also of the amount of hair left in the tub and on my comb. One more thing, when I told the order taker on the phone that I couldn’t afford their price he kindly made me a better offer. I may or may not be making a mistake but so far I feel good about the experience. We shall see…wish me luck :)

Ok, I’m a bit confused…People here are saying it won’t work, but since it contains minoxidil, doesn’t that mean it WILL work?

My main interest in this product is that it doesn’t irritate the scalp. I tried Rogaine, and there are 2 problems with it…

1. My scalp gets so dry and itchy I can’t stand it, and it flakes everywhere. Kind of gross, and I don’t want my scalp to be like that for the rest of my life.

2. I can’t tell if it’s all in my head, but I think I get a raised pulse rate with Rogaine, rapid heartbeat…ugh, I really can’t tell if it’s just me being aware of my heartbeat now that i’m on Rogaine, or if it really is rapid…Same with a little bit of chest pain.

If I got that from Rogaine, will I get a rapid pulse from ScalpMed? It has minoxidil in it, therefore would it be the same side effects as Rogaine? I’m not sure, because ScalpMed wouldn’t itch my scalp, and it’s not as oily, so therefore I wouldn’t react the same to it interally. Ugh…I have no idea. Any input?

I do have a question for those WHO did use scalp med and rogain or minoxidil. is it as difficult to apply? do u do it 2 times a day? and is scalp med working for others. ive used everything on the market. the ontl things working now are my vitamins and nioxin but they are just slowing the process down. i need a little more hair im only 25. please let me know!!!

one more blog
JC started using this product in November and i havent seen any posting from him since. is it working??

i had alopicea areata 7 years ago dermetoligist shot cortizone steroids in the bald spots after 3 weeks had great coverage i think scalpmed may work its just like yall say just more menoxidil im gonna go see about more cort shots for my thinning crown

HL- I found it very easy to apply rogaine and or scalpmed.
First-they both dripso watch out for your eyes.

When Scalpmed arrives-you take the two smaller bottles and pour them into a pump spray bottle supplied . Then shake it up and simply pump a little at a time 9 small pumps total and after each pump smooth into the scalp. I use a circular motion with my fingertips. I have not seen any results yet-but to be fair I stopped using it for 2 days-resuming tonight.

Rogaine extra strength 5%
Ok this drips faster-and has shown hairs along the hairline-a little at a time but they are there.
Applying this entails either pump or an eyedropper-supplied
use the eyedropper-the spray tends to lay on the hair and not get to the scalp. I founsd that my vitamin regimen is helping as well-it is stengthening the hair-less likely to fall out-(silica, biotin, etc…)

Both products are to be applied 2x a day
I put a little more on at night before i go to bed
and a little less after showering-hair must be dry first!

I hope this helped you and keep me posted

Hi Alison,

Thanks for the lead
When I went to the web link you recommended I immediately noticed no testimonials nor photos-what’s up? I just spoke to Spectral DNC customer service.

They claim that this product works in the front-actually anywhere.
They do not spend a fortune on advertising-ultimately allowing them to keep up with orders and maintain quality
They do not sell the product directly
go to http://www.folica.com then type in spectral dnc in the search box

I must admit I was impressed with the customer service rep
very knowledgeable. Anyway, I may try this too.According to him-rogaine 5% over time is debilitating toward skin problems-so since this product does not use all that alcohol it makes sense.

another Q it sounds like it has retinol in it like retina micro im wondering if it makes you extreemly sensitive to the Sun??

Im wondering if it is going to be a problem to go out doors with it? i also wonder if i wait the three hours after application do i have to worry about it any way? i think ill orger some and call cust serv and see. my problem is im pretty active i run, ride a bike and swim. the other concern is i have all my hair still but it is thinning quick and u can start so see my scallp so putting sunscreen would be a task

Hi,

Well I started using scalpmed March 8th and it is true that I have not experienced any itching as I had in the past with other minoxidil products, so I am happy about that. It is abit greasy though and I usually wear a hat whenever I can. I have not tried styling my hair with it yet. I was informed that I can use Toppik or Hair so Real with it as I have been using that for awhile now. So time will tell if I get any results. Will keep you posted.

My gut reaction is that this is certainly a scam. There is nothing new in scaplmed, what is it that makes it supposedly so special? They don’t claim to be FDA approved, only that they have an FDA approved substance in their product, that is practically meaningless. If I was an attorney, I would love to get a bunch of people together and file a lawsuit against the company for punitive damages. Companies that feed off the desperation of balding people are low lifes as far as I am concerned. To take advantage of another persons misery is evil.

Mr Sanchez

I don’t know how long u have been using scalpmed but I did for 4 months and quite frankly didn’t get anything but a big a** pissoff.I have been using hair treatments for the past 5 years. From expensive shampoos to pills, nothing had an affect on my hairs watsoever. Plz look at post # 164. I am not that rich person but I spent over 5 grands on hair loss treatments and nothing worked out. Finally this crappy commercial “Scalpmed” comes at night time where people cry and pursuade (beg I should say) people (who are desperate to get their hairs back) to buy their products. Well! after seeing Sherida Devine cry and other people swearing on Scalpmed, I thought about giving it a try with the hope of getting some of my hairs back. Guess wat fellas! I am still at the same point where I started. Not to mention that I followed all the directions given in their brochure.

I did take some picture before and after using Scalpmed. Please tell me where I can upload them . After u see the pictures, decide for ur self if u wanna use scalpmed or not….

Peace,
Leo.

Alison is right about the ScalpMed being greasy. You might as well put olive oil in your hair. It is greasy and , maybe it’s just me, but it runs down your forehead and everything. Like I said before, I’m just finishingout this supply that I have, but definitely not sure about re-ordering again.

I lost all of my hair 10 years ago due to alopecia. I had cortizon shots from my doctor which didn’t do very well. Then I tried Chinese herbal treatment and ate sea kalps everyday for a whole year. After one year all of my hair came back with occasional hair lost in general and in small patches. Recently I started vitamine C 1000mg to 3000 mg per day treatment to prevent colds and flu. To my pleasant surprise, I found that I’ve stopped loosing hair in large quantity by accident. I’ve taken multi-vitamines in the past which never made any difference to my hair lost problem. However, I’ve never taken this large amount of quantity of vitamine C.

Don!

Let me tell u something.. I tried the product for 4 months.. Not 2 months, 4 months. Their website says that the growth is usually seen within 2 months.. The problem is that I haven’t seen any growth. Had I seen any “significant” growth, I would have kept using it. Yes! If 70% of my hairs are back then I am ready to pay whatever their charges are. But I know for a fact.. All hair “losers” will be scammed until somebody drag Hair Treatment companies asses in courts and win a big settlement. Then we wont see scammers like Shane Malek (inventor of Scalpmed), Kevin Trudeau and others……..

Refund status 4 weeks after sending product back: ……ZERO!!!!!

…but I am in no hurry. I will wait a couple more weeks then there will be Hell to pay. After all, they wasted absolutely no time what so ever to charge my credit card (which was several weeks before I actually received their product). My USPS Delivery Confirmation verifys that it was delivered, so they can’t use the “we never received it” excuse.

I have been using Scalp Med for 2 months on and off. On at bedtime, off during the day. It’s so greasy looking that you don’t want to leave the house! But you can’t return it for looking greasy and you can’t get a refund if you don’t use as directed! So, walk around like a grease ball or save your money. I have been using NIOXIN and although I haven’t seen any new hair growth, I am keeping what it there. The Nioxin is a detox shampoo & conditioner that is supposed to remove DHT in hair follicles. So far (2months) I really like it.

What can cause frontal receding hairline or frontal baldness?

Good evening everyone. I just wanted to stop in and see what’s going on. I have read the posts and I want to respond to some of you. Please don’t take offense if I don’t address everyone.

DRS – I really want to say I love your confidence and ability to find a solution that works for you. I love bald men. They are really masculine in my opinion. I must say that ScalpMed really worked for me.

SUREWHYNOT – I wish I had an answer for your dilema. Have you tried the supervisor, as someone just mentioned? I never had to order anything because I am here with them, so I can’t comment one way or another.

DR. MARIE – Thanks for the research and information. That’s why you have a doctorate. I’m still trying to find the time to complete my Master’s.

DR. RASSMAN – Are you allowed to comment about any other responses? After reading the attacks on me it might be safe not too. :o)

NICK – Hit some really good points, especially about gambling.

JIM – My scalp never was dry. I think it’s obvious dryness is not an issue. I’m Black and I need oil. My hair and scalp is very dry. ScalpMed did not provide the oil I needed, but I don’t have flakes anymore. Oh, I do have hair. :o)

JOHN – What is the cost of cortisone shots?

J. SANCHEZ – Thanks, my point exactly. Oh, Proactive did not work for me. I saw that on an
early morning infomercial, but I don’t go around slandering it. Everything does not work for everyone, regardless of how great it is. Some people are allergic to antibiotics and others don’t get results from the same ones, but does it mean they don’t work?

LEO – I understand your pain, but please be careful with naming individuals and making false comments about them. Have you met Shane? I have and his honesty is what helped my decision. If ScalpMed had not work, I would have moved on to something else. When Proactive did not work for me and my daughters, I did not go bashing Vanessa Williams or the developer, I found something that did work for me (Obagi). I wish you would have experienced my blessing, but because you did not does not discredit my testimony, nor the developer. Read J. Sanchez statement. Find what works for you, but ultimately I pray you will find peace.

DON – GREAT research! I did not get a chance to really meet Dr. Garcia, but he seemed delighted with my progress. I’m glad you got a chance to talk to someone. Are you the guy that called me at work? I do have a question for you. I am not clear on what product you use every day. Is it ScalpMed or Rogaine? I read earlier that you were going to start ScalpMed, but it seems like you are using Rogaine. Oh, please don’t be like me and don’t take pictures. I didn’t think I would ever need pictures outside the clinic, but I see it would have helped.

EVERYONE: It’s been a pleasure again. God bless you all.

Sherida

No Sherida I did not call you at work-I was only using Rogaine at first with good results along with my vitamin regimen. However, ScalpMed has been my substitute until I empty the bottle. I may just go back to the affordable effective Rogaine exra strength.

I’m also thinking about buzzing it off now , quitting ScalpMed, etc, especially with the warmer weather coming up soon. I”m sick of playing games and am definitely feeling what another poster here said about that whole angle or perspective of things. When you look on tv, even in the movies nowadays, sure many or most of the big stars or ‘heartthrob’ type guys have nice heads of hair, but some either buzz it off (Brad Pitt, sometimes at least), or do not have it. And yet they’re still considered cool or masculine by the ladies. I mean, I can’t picture guys like Jason Statham, Vin Diesel, Tony Soprano, sitting there with there heads practically inside the mirror every night, and morning, etc, applying oils and looking around under bright light for any milligram of ‘new growth’. I think in a way I’ve been becoming too much of a mirror freak myself lately, and it all has to do with this hair thing basically.

Leo,

I went to Dr. Garcia’s website and read the comments there….of course your post was removed….My God…every response from him was…”oh yes, try scalp med, yes scalp med will help you, YES scalp med THIS and YES scalp med THAT”……not ONE criticism about the product…..well duh.

For someone who claims he is not directly affiliated with the product or the company he sure is PUSHING IT!!!!! My favorites are the testimonials from the ones who have only been on the stuff for a couple weeks, and Presto…HAIR BE THERE! Hahahahahahah

Ok, everbody
Let’s confess for a second here… We are all victims of hair loss right now or else we wouldn’t be looking at this webpage…Am I wrong? It’s understandable why we are angry about this, because with less hair, you lose beauty. But, taking your problems out on other people will not get us anywhere.
When I read these blogs I hope to read personal expierences with products and hope to learn from people’s actions.
It’s bad enough we have thousands of products out there to scam us of our money and more importantly our time. If you please we are all very vulnerable to products that say they will rejuvinate hair, So if you don’t mind, any person here trying to sell products are not welcome.
Sherida – I’ve noticed that your name is on many other websites, stating the same thing you stated on this one almost word-for-word. It seems to me you spend a lot of time persuading other people to get this product. This tells me that your opinion is not valid whats-so-ever. Sorry, but if you can, leave this blog ASAP and never post anything again because your wasting our time. You are no longer a credible opinion source.
For the others, I was wondering..Do you think Spectral DNC is better then rogaine?
Please respond soon.

Look at # 214
Alison is the one to ask-how about it.

Alison how do you like using Spectral DNC?
Discoloration of scalp?
sensitivity to the sun?-well when it gets hotter will be the true test of that question.

Any hair growth?
Any side effects?

Hey, everybody. I’ve been taking avacor for a few years now. When running out of the formula, I’d notice I’d lose a lot more hair before I’d order some more, which was a bad idea to do. Anyway, I saw the scalpmed commercial, for the first time, lastnight. In reading all the comments in this site, I’m convinced not to buy the product. I spoke with my sister and her husband is taking a pill called procerin, and says that it’s working really well. I’m thinking about not ordering avacor, because lately I’ve noticed some more hairloss, and I’m thinking about getting procerin. I looked at different ratings and reviews on all hairloss suppliments and procerin ranked number 1. avacor is ranked like 4 or something. scalpmed is not ranking that high. I’ll let you know how the procerin works out.

hey leo, hopefully it’ll work. seems like avacor is atleast buying me some time. it certainly slows down the process of my hairloss to almost stabilizing it, but it is a little pricey. don’t get me wrong. i’d give anything to be where i was 5 years ago but time is running out and i wanna find something that works better than avacor. i’m hoping the procerin will atleast stop it completely until there’s a better answer. sorry to hear it gave you stomach problems. i hope it works better with my anatomy. i’ll definatly keep you posted. this is the coolest blog ever. oh, by the way, i’m 26 and i’m going bald, my dad is in his 50’s and he has the head of hair i had when i was 15! i never thought this would happen to me. i don’t want to lose this battle, but it’s kicking my ass!

Just wanted to post up (*I’m a buddy of a guy who has posted here before, Nick, and he turned me onto this blog*) about my own experience with ScalpMed.

I ordered, got it, tried it, and didn’t like it , basically because of the greasiness. Like other guys here have said you leave the house in the AM looking very very greasy with this stuff on your head, and particularly if you’re thin (which everybody here is I assume) it looks like you’ve got a wet head or something basically. And I DON’T like to sleep with stuff like this on my head. Furthermore, it did cause ‘scalp acne’ for me . Quite frankly.

So I returned it. Within the waiting period to get my money back.

That took like a month , three (very long ; be prepared to be on hold for a long time each time you call) phone calls, and two emails later. I DID get a full credit back to my CC. So I have to give them that. Just FYI, for anybody here who’s thinking of ordering it. I do believe it is possible to get your 178.41 back because I was able to, although I’d about given up on it for awhile there.

Thanks Don.

But a question to those of you on proscor. How were you able to get doc to write a prescription for it? And even if one does write a prescription, wouldn’t you need to keep going to that doc to re-new it. I mean heair transplant docs may give it to you once, but how would you get it again? I doubt I’d be able to pull off a quickie saying I have problems with a prostate being in my 20s. And something is telling me a dermatologist isn’t gonna be very interested in writing me prescriptions for random drugs.

Any secrets on how to get it? It’s a huge different between paying $12/mo and $60/mo for an identical drug.

persuade* NOT PURSUE he or she is probabyly married and not a good idea.

Hello everyone !

My name is LORENZO , an italian guy from Los Angeles .
I wanna tell you that i’m very depressed because of my hair loss problem.
I tried natural remedies especially because i was told that you can achieve results without side effects at all but didn’t work for me.
I dont want a hair transplant or a hair piece system because they are expensive , and dangerous (hair transplant ) for your health .
I want something that can grow my OWN NATURAL HAIR BACK.
I heard about SCALPMED from a Tv comercial and i wanna tell you that i tried some other medications like SCALPMED in the past with no results.
I have read all your comments and i noticed some of them .

Some people say that they bought SCALPMED and they tried for 2 or 4 months with results over 40 %.
I’m very impressed ! Amazing !

Others say that they are not satisfied and want their money back.
I wanna know if this company ( Modern Health Labs, Inc.) whos responsible for selling SCALPMED is honest with you guys and returning your money back as they said in the tv comercial .

P.S. : I intend to buy SCALPMED but before i do that i want to know real facts .

Hey all. I am 21 and still have a lot of hair, but it is thinning and or receeding along the temples. I have used Scalpmed since Jan. 24, 2006 until the two month supply ran out a week or so ago. I have not seen ANY new growth, but having said that, I think it may have slowed down my hairloss because I am not losing as much as I was before using the product. I think I want the refund though. Frankly I can’t tell if it slowed down hairloss but I sure as hell can tell I have not grown any new hair. It may work for you, but it didn’t really for me.

Don,

Your points are wacky at best…comparing a sweetener to a prostate drug…very insightful!

Congrats on your “gut” being such a great prognosticator. Does it pick stocks too? How bout a few tips?

Best,
Your Nemesis

Thanks, Don, for your fine analysis. You make unsubstantiated claims about products you know nothing about and pass them off as informed opinions…now THAT’s what I’d call ridiculous.

Given that you’ve tried Scalpmed as well as who knows what other snake oil for your shiny head, you have no credibility here.

Something is really funny about this “Scalp Med” product. Wanna know what it is? How come sherida is the only person that keeps on talking about that the product had worked for her? what about all the other people who were in the infomercial? Why haven’t they said anything about the product? I have gone to numerous website and the first thing that popped in my face is her name. What the hell is this? Just to show this is a scam. Try to type her name on the website such as yahoo…then you will see something. it will automatically send you to scalp med website or you will see her name. She even has her own website talking about the product. Yeah right…If god trully blessed you by making your hair grow back, I hope he makes you go bald again for lying to these innocents people out there. Why haven’t no body else said anything about their results? I guess it worked for her better. Am out…peace.

Don’s shiny head and see through hair proves that Scalpmed is a sham.

hi Vinny,

I agree this is getting out of hand however in my defense
If you look at all my previous posts you will see that I have answered and asked questions that are very much relevant. It’s this lady-(Clari, Don’s Nemesis and whatever pseudonym she goes by ) who is creating a negative vibe-I am trying to be a gentleman about it-she just will not let up.

People you got to Understand that Companies do this for SelfGain nothing more.Scalpmed looks like a Scam just like Any Other Formula in todays modern World.Til you Actually Try it then you can base the fact if it does work or not.

I believe in the advancement of a Cure for baldness but it takes research and Development.It is a Business therefore people will try to be profitable with there products and its a shame.Like I said Will there ever be a cure?I dunnot but Since Half of the Mens population is bald it makes me wonder What really causes baldness?

I think people have to live with the fact wabout Hair Loss but damn it is a Self concious World and Image is what gets you throught the Door so Not being Confident is what Hurts the most.

Just do your research people Scam or no Scam there is always a Answer to a problem.

Don:

That explains it. Off site communication as I presumed. If your account is the whole story then yeah, she’s got issues.

Me thinks the lady doth protest too much.

Hey.
I’ve just turned 18 And I’ve been losing my hair for two years now.
I’m grateful that I don’t have a full out bald spot before i graduate but it’s close.
Now I’m giong out with a girl a year younger than me and I’m coming back an extra year of highschool. But I feel bad that she’ll be dating a balding guy at such a young age.
I could probably get over going bald. However I don’t want her to have to be ashamed of me.
If anyone has anything that has helped them email me at megalyth@hotmail.com.
I appreciate your help.
Thank you.

Hello Vinny,

I am going to answer the questions you asked to the best of my knowledge.

!. Yes, 1 of the proven ingredients in Scalp Med is Minoxidle ( not sure how to spell sorry). The reason you spend more for Scalp Med is the combination of the minoxidle and other ingredients actually make the hair grow (call customer service they will happily give you the ingredients of all products) it not a secret. You see people who have only used minoxidle alone don’t get the desired results, then theyt ry Scalp Med. Scalp Med has other ingredients that not only help grow hair but also strenthen the new hair, and moisturize the scalp so you keep your new hair.

Now just so you know, to me it doesn’t matter weather you purchase scalp med or not. My whole reason for ever posting in the first place was all the lies about our policies that i knew for a fact were not true. So i hope this does help, but my question to you is, have any of you that haven’t ordered or used scalp med ever called customer service and asked any questions to get your own answers instead of a bunch of second hand info and a bunch of probablies.

I have no problem answering but just so you know, i don’t know the scientific side hair growth but what i do know is if it doesn’t work you can get your money back…

Well Vinny i hope i was some help and oh and sorry it took about 24 hours to get to you.

2. Well, i’m not a scientist so i don’t know the technical reasons, but i will try to answer with what i do know. What i’ve been told is that the product stimulates the the follicle and blood flow to produce hair. This is why when you stop using the product your hair goes back to the original state it was in before it was used.

KEEP ON ROCKIN VINNY!

Scalpmed is expensive minoxidil. Yes, it has retinol in it, however, like i previously stated on the 2nd or 3rd message here, it DEEPLY INFLAMES your scalp. SCALPMED is a big SNAKEOIL.

What do you guys think about Tricomin/Copper Peptides? Please let me know, it seems pretty interesting and legit.

Hey guys & gals, I thought I’d let you know that I’ve been using Spectral DNC also for two weeks now. I noticed that there was another female on this blog, and I went ahead and ordered. It’s not greasy, and it dries fast. I have a few gray hairs (probably from the stress of hair loss!), and it leaves a tint of yellow on them, but I’m blond anyway! I was borderline hypothyroid awhile back, and I was put on Synthroid, (which probably also caused some hair loss) I have some thinning on top above my bangs which started a year and a half ago. I’ll let you know how I make out…I believe I have to use it for around 2 to 3 months!?

Wow. Lots of information here, lots to digest. Wish I had seen this blog-thing before I ordered the ScalpMed. But – live and learn, I guess. Don, thanks for the unbiased information you impart and thanks to the rest of you for your comments good and bad. I hate to think that I got “suckered” and will be extremely on top of any progress (or lack thereof). I will take pictures and keep you posted. I’m thinking of using the ScalpMed exclusively for the 2 months for purposes of getting a pure “test” of the product’s effectiveness. I have never used anything like this on my hair before so have nothing to compare it to. I have just used volumizing shampoos, etc. If this works, I’ll let you all know. If it doesn’t, well . . . you’ll be hearing from me about that as well. If it works, but seems to need a little “boost,” perhaps I will incorporate some of the things some of you use (vitamins, that Spectral DNC, etc., but am gonna stay away from the onions and urine concoctions for now) that have been working for you thusfar.

Just a bit about me: I am a 50 yr. old woman and I have been losing my hair noticeably since I am 16. Just recently (about 5 years ago), I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian disease which is pretty much just what the name implies – however, there’s a lot of other stuff that comes with it and apparently I got ’em all. Hair loss, weight issues, infertility, bad skin, (get this) inappropriate facial hair (my all-time favorite), and the promise of more issues in the future – diabetes, heart disease, etc. I sound real attractive, no?? lol (Actually, I’m quite cute and don’t look 50 . . .) The only reason I thought to go to an endocrinologist was because my mom was reading a magazine in the dentist’s office and saw a photo of an overweight, balding woman in an article (with an advertisement for milk w/Christie Brinkly opposite) and rather than look at that milk photo and say, “Gee, I should call my Angela,” she read the article about the fat, bald woman and thought of me. So . . . I went to the dr. to check it out and he confirmed what I suspected (after doing some research) to be true. He was really surprised when I told him that I had a child (at that time 4, now he’s 9), given that I tried to get pregnant for about 10 yrs. prior with no luck. He never mentioned that I could do anything about the hair loss, but helped me with regulating my sugar, etc.

I’d be happy if the ScalpMed kept the hair from falling out. When I was pregnant and taking those maternity vitamins, my hair was thick and full and gorgeous. That, and my son, were the only good things about being pregnant, though. Anyone look into taking pregnancy vitamins for their hair?

Anyhow – thanks again for all your comments and research and sharing your thoughts. I’ll keep you posted. Good luck to all of you.

Thatbalddudeyoualwayssee

have you seen that product “headblade” it’s small and specifically made or guys who shave their heads completely. I think the razor is 10 bucks and you can replace the razors with any ordinary razor- i think a 2 or 3 blade, not sure ,but walgreens has it. They have these other products that protect the scalp and stuff. Let me know if you have looked into and like it. (no i don’t work for headblade, just figured headblade would be easier on ya).

STILL NO THOUGHTS ON COPPER PEPTIDES/TRICOMIN? =(

im 32, male, was in a band during my college years, i sport a long thick hair, during my 21-25 years, then i started to notice my hair falling off, when i was 26, it started as an itchy scalp, so i scratched it and scrathed it, and i was noticing the floor and my drawer to be filled up with my hair. so i cut my long hair to the normal good boy cut, then the barber told me, that i may be balding in this spot. that made me so consious about going bald, and i think the “placebo effect” took its toll, and i always fear of going bald, because i previously sport this thick hair, that people actually envy. by the time i was 26, i started putting minoxidil on my scalp, and i think that worked, so i stopped using it. i was happy to have the fullness of hair i once enjoyed, then it started to fall off again, so i took some vitamins ( super hair , chinese kinda of vitamins ) it has inositol, bla bla bla, and every kind of vitamin that i researched to suppposed to grow the hair back, and so it did again, i was happy and stopped using it, then again, my hair started to fall off, this time, i was really tired, but i still dont want to be a bald dude, i do comb overs, and no one can notice it, its only me and the mirror, and my gf. im scared of high winds, i fear rain, coz that would show my bald spot, so i use gel during those times to keep my hair steady, i tried, those sebum intoxifiers bla bla. then finally , i decide on having a hair transplant, so i did, now my hair is thick on top, and i can see without those transplants, my crown could be shiny as crystal ball, but then again, my transplants was a bit early, so the other spots that did not have transplants starts to fall off now, and im tired of hiding my bald spot, and im actully thinking of going to some transplants again, i dont want to shave my head, becuase i have a scar on back of my head from ear to ear, kinda hard to explain that back feature, to some concerning minds. so i tried scalpmed, so far, im with scalpmed for only a week. only one comment i can say, i’ll take the weekly pictures on top of my head, so i’ll get the 5,000 $ , i think its working, placebo or not, i can see dramatic difference, and small baby hairs are starting to accumulate.

peace out.

Comment on #285: It does not appear to be possible to make an informed decision to return the Scalpmed product after 60 days because it admittedly takes up to 4 months to see results.
Comment on #287: Thanks for the LA Times link

I have just started to use ScalpMed for a week now. I will post in when I am done with the product in 7 weeks and tell everyone if it worked for me. I hope it works. If anyone used it and it worked then post, we all would like to know!

The only way to scientifically prove that a product is working just as its manufacturer claims is a double blind clinical trial. There are enough volunteers out there for a product like this one, and it shouldn’t be hard to do it at all. Unless ScalpMed can offer such proof, consider it a hoax.

hieee guys!!! i had hair transplanted front side. before under go operation i studied and gather information about hair growth. Hair needs juicy fats to keep wet its root. its all should come from inside (internal) body. if u apply some thing outside of the (external) body, It won’t be effective on hair growth. In these days only advanced technology is hair transplantation. But its very painful operation. “beauty is painful”. its like open heart surgery “stitches”, back side of the head called donor area. head swells like hell it becomes chineese face for two weeks. need to sleep only sides not even think good sleep for a month with pleasure. Your Hands tries to touch transplanted hair, some times blood comes out with gentle touch. its like hell, total 2%anestetia 32 injections on my head for 1000 grafts. contract for 1000, but they did only 750, can’t even able to count.If u ask them that they didn’t put total grafts, they tell u count urself its 1000 grafts, it seems u r foolish guy infront of intelligence. then u think u don’t know mathematics to count. F**K man!! every where “fraud” ,”Fraud” and
“*ULL_*HIT” in this baldness cure.

I think in future! people gonna discover curing AIDS and CANCER But not ” BALDNESS”…LOL

my suggestion is go for tonsure, eat vegitables, Fruits, good fitness and to show people “u r handsome”.

baldhead with good physic is sexiest and sexualy powerfull, cuz , have good reasons in science .
thin Physic guys have good hair , extra pounds guys don’t. take examples u will known it.

one more thing ” smoking also make u hairfall 100% more ” cuz it contain nicotine.

my opinion ” to have good hair growth, needed good medicine from inside the (internal) body, not from outside (external) applyings.

hmm!!! guys !! any thing lack of knowledge in my review, TAKE IT EASY.

hey guys… try the onions juice or water and put it on ur head at night time. it works. don’t worry guys it want kill you. wash your head before you put it on! do it at lest for 2 to 3 weeks. if it didnt work then try the scalpmed.

How do these infomercials keep running if these are all scams? i have tried everything and nothing worked, so i went and had a transplant (hair graphs) it’s the only thing that worked, i used Rogaine,avacor and this scam scalpmed. Why does the Federal Trade Commission let these hair scams stay in business? If this isn’t the fleecing of America what is? ugh!!

Well i wasn’t gullable enough to believe it would take a Qball and turn into a carpet full of hair, so i had transplants done a few years ago which turned out great, my forehead was turning into a 5 head lol, but 80% of your look is your hairline, so i had my hairline restored, now that i am getting older my hair is thinning in the back, so i was atleast hoping ScalpScam would give me some hair cover in the back, because Rogaine sure hasn’t. But what makes the hair look thinner is the scalp gleaming in the light lol, so i purchased some toppik and use it very liberal and it helps cover the balding spots, actually the toppik with hair transplants makes for a good look. But at the end of the day we just have to accept getting older, and the older we get the more we have to find ways to cover our bald spots which turns into combovers and other embarrasing methods lol ugh

Sherita,

I am also a child of God, and would like to thank you for your comments. I am researching this product for my mother and you helped me make the decision to recommend it to her. I know that it may not work for everyone, because your blessing may not be for her. But if God used it once, that’s all I need to know.

Eddie L.

A question for you Sherida….

I have been using Scalpmed, its been around a month or a few days up and down. I have started to see new hair growing in the receeding hairline area. I cannot see the back of my head thus i cant tell if i am growing anything in my vertex.

Now the question is, since i am seeing new hair, i am excited, but they seem to be thin and far apart from each other. Should i wait a little longer and see.. Would i be noticing more hair or is it goign to be looking like just a few hair growing left and right rather than some good improvement.. By far i know its been only a month and the rests are pretty good..

Just for the readers to know.. I do have a very healthy life style lately. I eat a lot of fruits, i eat 5 to 6 times a day, i workout, i am 26. I haevnt lost all my hair but got thin in my vertex and my receding area, dont know what type that is called. I do see results with small hair growing all around but do not buy the product yet untill you hear some astonishing results in the next month or two from me..

Sherida, There are a few pics on Scalpmed website which are kinda confusing.. this one guy says he grew his hair in 5 week. No seriouly, Even if this guy grew his hair then how did he manage to grow it like 2 inches in 5 weeks or so.. Is there something else to grow hair.. hahaha.. Just kidding!!! The product does have promising results but some of the pictures on the site just might be too much to swallow…

JOhn dude,

Today one of my co-workers told me that my head looks fuller which is pretty tight man. Scalpmed is kinda working for me. i am 26 thus not that far apart man.. but dude, when i was 21 bro, that is when my hair was getting really thin and i shaved my head till date and finally started growing it out and Wallaaaaaa.. i see the damn thing has got some hair popping on the vertex and crown.. But one thing is there, the hair is thin, maybe after a while it would grow more in number and thickness.. Never used MInoxidoil 5 %, Not sure if both of these things are alike and work the same but from what i hvae heard is that Mioxidil got itching and stuff and it works mainly in the crown. Is that true????? I got one more month to go before the scalp med thing ends.. Wish me luck.. will keep you uptodate..

Pathan,
Good to hear abt your results , I am using scalpmed from last 4 days, lets see if it works for me. I am 28 and have got my hair thining all over my head.
would appreciate if you could share yr before and after snaps.
Will keep you guys posted about my results.

John,

Yoo! SO, i think i have my before pictures on my PC. I am not taking the after pictures yet. Well, iw as thinking of taking it after a month but man, i rather wait the whole 2 months before taking the second snap shot.. Just today, i looked into my head again(i mean i look everyday :)) It seems to me that i am seeing more and more hair bro.. I am really not sure about the crown area thou but hopefully that is filling up too..

Pathan:

My crown is taking the longest. I’m seeing progress though on the outer edge of the crown (rough description of the area) and it looks like it’s closing in (making the crown spot smaller). It’s still necessary to use Toppik to cover it up but I’m needing less now. I honestly can’t wait to see what it’ll be by the end of the summer & then end of the year.

The onion juice on scalp does work!

I’m 33 and have been losing hair since around puberty. I’ve been trying to get the hair loss to lessen/stop with no success (Rogain, supplements). No reason for the hair loss. My hair stylist said there was an indian woman with hair loss who tried onion juice on her scalp and it worked. So I tried it. My mother who has excess hair shedding tried it as well.

What we did was juice about 1/2 an onion (it produces a lot of juice), and rub it into your scalp. Rub it in well, this is important. Then wrap your hair in bag (I use a grocery bag since I have tons of them). Let it stay on for about 45 minutes. Then shampoo and condition like usual. Do this about 2 or 3 times a week. Don’t save any left over juice. Always make it fresh. My mom did it alost every day. Smell is pretty bad and lingers for a few days, so I don’t recommend doing it every day. Within one week my hair loss went from about 250 hairs a day to about 50. I was in shock. I haven’t been doing this long, maybe about 2 weeks, but I can’t believe my hair loss has slowed down SO FAST. My mother as well has noticed the same results.

I highly recommend giving it a shot. You don’t even need to do it that long to see it really working. I know I haven’t been doing it for very long, but I’m a believer in it and will continue to do it.

Hey, I guess let me try the onions thing, when i am done with scalp med, Which onions are better Red or White ?

After going through this blog, I’m tempted to go ahead and take the Scalpmed challenge. I’m 32 and thinning on top. I’ve been using Nixon for about 10 years now. Maintenance seems to be fine, but I’m looking for some more growth. I tried Proscar for about 6 months and saw no results, so I stopped taking it. I’ll try and keep you updated on my progress. Thanks to all the posters, this is an excellent resource.

I am using the white onions, but I believe both would work. Also if you add cayanne pepper…what a tingle you’ll get!

how do u differentiate the scams from the honest ones?

kstar – You really can’t. Sometimes you just have to role the dice. If it works, it works, if it doesn’t, I’ll send it back. Hopefully I can get the refund if things don’t work out.

Guys, here is a trick question. It sounds stupid. I work in the IT world and been using this Scalpmed thing.Lately i am experiencing Heavy memory loss. I am forgetting words as simple as “Required”. Does memory loss have anything to do with these hair products??

Pathan……..are u kidding, I am also working in IT from last 8 years and I am also using the same product “Scalpmed” and I dont think it has anything to do with memory loss.
I have also used minoxdil before.

Sandy:

15 DAYS??? LOL, I’d say you have to give it more time than that. Like I’ve said before, I’ve been losing hair over the last 5 years and finally after 3 months I’m seeing positive results.

I have been using scalpmed for about four months, my hair started growing back very full and think and I was loving it, eventually I started to notice my face was becoming very hairy I grew side burns ladies,my legs beacame hairy with thick hair growing on it. My arms became very hairy too, I had to stop using it and let God.

Hey Guys,

So i feel my hair growth has sort of slowed down. Or maybe since i am letting my hair grow thus i am not seeing a whole lot of small hair growing. Uhmm, Guys who are using it, whats your review till date. I know end of this month will be my 2 months. I have been facing one problem thou. My eyes itch.. When i apply it and go to bed.. I believe the medicine sort of sticks to the pillow and if my eyes rub on it, they itch..

The results are good. lets just see if things get any better.. Will keep posting

Regarding the onion juicing:

Ok…it’s been 3 or 4 weeks since I starting putting the onion juice on my scalp and it’s still working! My hair loss is actually slowing down…from 250 hairs a day to now around 70. Today actually seemed even less, but I’m not counting because it looks so little. My hair loss might actually be almost normal. I dont’ want to believe it yet because it seems to good to be true and I’ve had excess hair loss for so long. I have lots of small hairs all over. Now I just need to see if they all stay and keep growing. I’ll keep you all posted.

Does it matter what type juicer I use to make my onion hair formula? I have a Jack Lalanne premium juicer which makes excellent carrot and avocado juice, but is it suitable for making cosmeceutical products?

This blog is turning into as much of a joke as Scalpmed is. Hey, that’s fine with me, I’ll gladly help with the sarcasm. However those coming here for actual insight and information are sure to be disappointed.

Anyway, no, the Jack LaLanne juicer is not approved for cosmetic onion juice remedies, only the Juice Man juicer is, since it doesn’t remove as much pulp. Don’t forget to put the first stream of your daily urine in the mix though. Otherwise the onion juice is ineffective.

Are you insane? Are you serious? That’s the stupidest damn thing I’ve heard in a long time.

Dear idiots……….

Putting onion juice on your scalp doesn’t make you hair grow, thats the stupidest thing i ever heard. ScalpScam doesn’t make your hair grow either, this is nothing but a scam and the fleecing of America. ScalpMedScam charges $18 for shipping and ships it by stork, i could walk it faster to new York then they ship it from wherever they do, no one ever answers there 800# and when they do they put you on hold for 30 minutes, this whole thing stinks, the attorney general needs to shut this scam down.

This is a warning to all onion formula users! I has been using my own mixture of onion juice with some extra garlic and chili powder thrown in. My dog must have smelled it and while i was taking a nap he decided to try and eat what was left of my hair as a snack. Now I have no hair left.

I tried the ‘onion formula’ last evening on some toasted bread baked for 10 minutes at 400 degrees. Delicious!!

For you guys out there, let me give you a word of advice…

All these products are a waste of money. As someone below said, if they really did work, there wouldn’t be any rich bald guys. Save your hard earned money and accept fate.

I started to go bald in my early 20s, and I just shaved my head clean bald. Instead of letting it get me down, I have embraced it. Do yourselves a favor, stop sweating the small stuff, take a razor, and stop trying to hold onto the rest of your hair.

Ok Andrew, what is it about the minoxidil in $80 ScalpMed that’s any different than the same minoxidil that’s in $15 Rogaine?

makes me laugh when people say.. I was losing 250 hairs now its down to 70 LOL.. like do you sit there counting everyone of the hairs that fell out of your head LOL.. get over it and shave it off.. scalmed should be called scammed and for that mad cow who is using onion juice on your hair.. you need a pychiatrist lol

Andrew: Perhaps you should give Rogaine a try. If it works you’d be at least $720 richer in a year. The proven growth agent in ScalpMed IS minoxidil. The rest is unproven and most likely snake oil.

I am using this scalpmed from last one month now, and as i said i was still seeing my hair fall, Andrew said this is normal as they will still grow thick when new hair come in. From last week I started using Distilled water to wash my hair (Got some cans from Wallmart from 64 cents each) and my hair fall is reduced drastically almost stopped. Has any one tried distilled water before ?
Now i use distilled water + scalpmed will keep you updated with my results

They started running these scamming ScalpMed infomercials here in Canada. Trying to sucker another country to buying your overpriced snake oil, SM? Anything that is being sold on TV is BS!!!!!

Guys, i have been using scalpmed uhmmm.. From almost 3 months now… Breakdown of things it has done for me

My hair is thicker

MY receding hairline really does not have the hair i was expecting and honestly, not much at all, just a few Tiny hair pops but not growing

I think my crown area has started to cover up with hair
My friends are saying that my hair seems to have increased but not to the point where i want to see increase but then again, its only damn 2.5 months.. Lets see..

I have been keeping a track on hair growth and all.. If you want pictures, just ask, i will send em to you..

I want a full head of Hair, or atleast enough that i can grow it long and feel it when i rush my hand thru it.. If scalpmed cannot get me to that point after 1 year of Use, i am going to quit using it! I mean honestly, who wants just some hair on his head that he can rush a comb thru seeing bald spots.. That aint the goal we start off with when we start taking these things!!

I’ve tried scalpmed on two separate occasion each for two week trials and had to stop because I noticed more hair in the drain. Minoxidil is said to shed hair before regrowing it, however the retinol contained in the product is what scares me. Combining Retinol, or vitamin a derivatives, with minoxidil has had positive effects for some and negative effects for others. Retinol is often used for acne because it clears away the sebum (mostly by drying it out) so logic would dictate that it would help clear out the hair follicles as well. But the problem is that it can inflame the skin, and drying out your skin isn’t entirely great for the scalp I imagine. The amount of retinol used in scalpmed could be so minimal that it doesn’t matter but I don’t know. I’ve also tried using just the shampoo products and drugstore-bought minoxidil with not a lot of success. But only time would tell with said trials. Bottom line is I’m not willing to take a risk which would cause irreperable damages ie losing and not being able to regain it as a result of a largely untested product. I’ve been on finasteride for quite some time. Hope this information helps some out there.

Okay Guys, here is the deal. I went for a hair Cut… Cut my hair short to the point where i started using Scalpmed.. Now that i see, my hair is actually thicker, i was like WOw!! This damn thing actually works.. My recedding area still have small hair and it seems to have started growing.. I think the bogus stuff is that it wont work in 1 year but it will work in the long run.. I Am happy.. I like this thing

To THE ANSWER,

You seem like a good person who has a grasp on what is truly worthwhile as we walk this dirt covered sphere we call home. And that is something that money can’t buy. Most of the people on this site are vain and so full of themself that they can’t see that they are like the cart pulling horse chasing the carrot. They think that if they get the carrot then all will be so gosh darn swell…for a while until they feel that void again, and the insecurities come pouring back over them. Then they will be haunted by weight issues, or facial feature flaws that scream out at them when they look in the mirror, or maybe bad breath, then the eyesight fades and they cant be tortured with the burden of having to wear glasses or contacts…so lasik is the answer, but then they notice that their car is just not classy, hip, or as cool as someone elses, and when they’re beaten and against the ropes they looks down and notice the horrors of all horrors…nail fungus…dear God not nail fungus. And while this person is driving south down Main fixated on what while make them whole and complete they completely ignored the small child with no shoes on his feet and a rumble in his belly because the he or she hasn’t eaten a healthy meal in a few days, or the man or woman on the corner who just needs a few bucks, a job, or a meal only because they haven’t had things go their way in years. Or the numerous elderly who are so alone and just want to talk to someone, and not be seen as a hinderance or a burden of society, and the numerous others who have so many problems that we all just ignore in hopes that someone else will deal with “those people”… because they have so much more to worry about- like nail fungus and pearly whites, or ofcourse the most amazingly wonderful thing of all…hair growth!

No you hit it on the head, and I was glad that I scrolled down all of these posts to reach yours, because I was encouraged to see that people like you are still out there…take care and thanks

To Herozero:

While I actually agree in principal with your thesis, I have two issues with it…

1) For all your issues with vanity, unfortunately this mud ball we live on works largely because of it. Particularly in the civilized world. Why do women wear makeup? Why do business men wear suits? Because we ARE judged by our appearence in this world, and in order to attract a companion, keep food on your table, and a roof over your head you’d best understand that concept and adhere to it. Not my opinion, that’s a fact.

2) Why come HERE, to a hair loss product forum to preach from your soapbox? Shouldn’t you be spending your short time on Earth with those lonely elderly people, or feeding the hungry, or helping the unemployed to find a job?

3 months up, 4th month in.. I have started to see hair fall. I mean, when i am applying scalpmed on my head, i see atleast 20 to 30 hair on my hand while applying it. I do have less hair on my head. Not sure what all this means? does it mean the product is not working or does it mean tht old hair is falling and new is replacing it. My receding lines had small hair comming out in it but, it seems like they have stopped growing or something, Its not growing. My hair is thicker thou? but but but, does this medicine only get your hair thicker or does it actually grow new hair… I am sort of getting worried about the falling hair..

My grandfather used to swear by goat’s urine! He said it “tingled like hell” when he rubbed it into his scalp — probably got the blood circulation going and thus nourished those starving hair follicles. The only downside (according to grandfather) was that if you weren’t carefull the goat’s urine would get in your eyes and cause temporary blindness. Dr. Maxim Schnatz of The Planck Institute in Germany claims that the uric acid concentrate in the piss was “zee actif agent.”

Q: What is it with God, salvation, and the spirituality continually being preached and posted here in connection with ScalpMed? Seriously, what is the tie-in with God, minoxidil, and balding? Someone please explain this to me. Given the staggering number of people who have posted here that fit that criteria, I expect to see a reply on this from someone.

Also, for THISONTRULYWORKS. Try typing in lower case letters. YOU MIGHT HAVE MORE CREDIBILITY IF YOU FOLLOW THE SIMPLE PROTOCOL OF UPPER CASE = SHOUTING ON THE WEB!

The onion / garlic spread really works to slow down / stop baldness. If nothing else it makes for a tasty snak when spread on bread and toasted!!

that’s great, jim but have you tried the renowned onion formula?

I’ve noticed various responses about scalpmed. It works on some people and it doesn’t work on others. What i hate about scalpmed deal is that I think they overcharge their product and poor offering of deal. I haven’t bought scalpmed yet, but I tried some hair growth formulas before. Why don’t they sell it for $20 a piece for just one time trial deal? Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on a product which may or may not work, spending only $20 for one time 3 month trial is lot better. In that way, we don’t have to waste money and time on their ridculous customer service for return. We don’t have to fret about losing only $20 if product don’t work. If the product works on some people, then they’ll become loyal customers.

My point is Scalpmed sellers should offer better deal. Here is a product costs almost $200 and it may or may not work on everyone. I rather pay $100 for 6 month trial without obligation. If it works, they got themselves a very loyal customer. If it doesn’t work I will be disappointed, but I wouldn’t call it snake oil or scam.
I’ll wait few years and see if they still advertise the product. I remember seeing one of those hair thickening spray which is like black spray paint on TV. People realized that it was a scam and later it became a joke. If Scalpmed is a good product as it claims, it’ll gain loyal customers and they can air more informercial with well known celebrities.

I just stumbled on this blog today and I’ve been enjoying scanning through the entries. I wanted to add, to those of you having the ScalpMed debate – yes, it is totally overpriced. I am an infomercial freak, and when I saw it I thought, ‘ok, why not?’. Until I found out the freakin’ price. But, I tried it anyway.

Let me back up here, first-off: I’m 27, a woman (obviously) and my hair started thinning when I was about 21 (although at the time I figured I was just shedding a lot). My mother has extremely THIN hair and my sister’s hair has dramatically thinned out (she’s 8 yrs older than me). I didn’t start to freak out about my hair thinning until a coworker mentioned to me that it looked like I had a bald spot and to fix the part in my hair. That was in 2001. Suddenly, reality came crashing in on me and I think it was that same day I went out and bought Rogaine for the first time.

Well, I’ve been using it pretty faithfully all of these years, but it really dries my scalp out – BAD. To the point where the only shampoo I can use is Head ‘N Shoulders and that doesn’t even work so well.

oK, bringing us back to the point where I saw the ScalpMed ad on TV and I ordered it. So now I’ve been using it since November 2005, and while I can’t say for certain that it’s regrowing hair, I’m generally happy with it. Like the Rogaine, I haven’t noticed regrowth, but it has stopped my hair from thinning & falling out. I’m still young enough to where, if my hair stays like this for the rest of my life, I’m happy with that.

Actually, I had figured out that it was just generic rogaine with an additive, and it is the additive I’m addicted to. The reason I like the ScalpMed is b/c it doesn’t dry my scalp out like the Rogaine (b/c plain rogaine is basically like rubbing alcohol). I actually called the ScalpMed people to see if they would just sell me this concoction called Nutrisol-RM, but they wouldn’t. I’m hoping the Rogaine people will develop something like this on their own – to combat the horrible dry-itchy-flakiness the product causes.

Also, worthy of note, I recently started Regenix. I’m finishing up the first phase of treatment and I have definitely noticed an improvement in my scalp. I’m going to use both the ScalpMed and Regenix products together to see how I do. I would love it if the Regenix would stimulate thickening & re-growth after I complete the initial steps of treatment. I have actually noticed some shedding in the first phase, but I’m pretty sure that’s normal.

Anyway, I’m spending a fortune on this crap and I hope it’s worth it. If anyone has anything to share on the Regenix topic, that’d be great.

hey listen up people, I sympathize with anyone experiencing hair loss IT SUCKS MORE THAN WORDS CAN DESCRIBE. BUT the bottom line is NONE OF THESE PRODUCTS WORK!!!!!!!!!!! If anything actually did work there would be no bald celebrities, right? I understand that we all HOPE something will come along, besides a transplant, that actually works. However until that time comes we need to own our hair loss and accept it. Confidence outshines the top of your head any day, it’s true. Look at any bald charismatic individual, you notice the baldness, but it doesn’t affect how you think of them because their personality is so cool. BE CONFIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t let these companies scam you PLEASE. Avorcor has been around for years and it’s as effective as rubbing egg yolks on your head for re-growth. The only reason this company is in business is because of legal loopholes that allow it to make it’s bogus claims AND desperate misled consumers. Let’s face it, any company that hires Rush Limbaugh to advertise it’s product (like avocor)can’t have any integrity, who would believe ANYTHING that man says anyway????????????? DON”T BE DUPED BY THESE SNAKE OIL SALESMEN PEOPLE…. OWN YOUR BALDNESS AND MOVE AHEAD IN LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations on a great web site. I am a new computer user and finding you was like coming home. Continued success.

The hair peices they have at Hair Club for men, or places like Hair Club for Men look really good, before i got hair transplants i was considering getting one, there was a lady i worked with who had cancer who lost her hair who got one at National Hair Center in Phx Az and it looked great, you couldn’t tell in a million years she had one, and it made her feel like a million dollars. When i got transplants 7-8 years ago mostly to fill in my hairline, over the last few years the rest of my hair started thinning in the back, and i ordered Scalpmend about 4 months ago, and i gotta say it has filled in my hair pretty good, i am really happy with Scalpmend, i hate payin the 175$ every couple months, but i am really anal about my hair, i would starve before i would go bald, but thats just me. But whatever you do goodluck to you (-:

Very many thanks for a good work. Nice and useful. Like it!

Dominic this scalpmend thing is no joke, i use it, and have been using it for 4-5months now, and it has done a nice job filling in my bald spots, but i also had hair transplants to give me a good hairline, but i find it funny that people like you bash things without even trying it. The only joke here is people running there mouths without trying something first.

To summarize all the comments in this thread:

1.ScalpMed works for the few people who mentions Jesus at least several times at each occasion.
It has not been determined why they needed to use this liquid, why the prayers alone did not work.
Perhaps because it is harder to charge for the prayers alone.
Also could seem a bit suspicious to guarantee a full refund if you return the prayers…

2. Those that pooh-pooh the urine solution, should better check what ScalpMed is made off!
It certainly smells, but perhaps it is just the smell of fraud.

I’ve been using scalpmed for about 4 weeks now and it looks like my hair is getting thinner. The first week I thought I saw some improvement but over the last two I think it’s gotten a lot worse. I had strong looking hair in the front and was just loosing a little on top, but now it looks like I’m losing it from the top down to the front. I may keep trying it to see if it gets better but I would not recommend it to anyone.

does your product really work?

I just want to know who the female host is on the ScalpMed infomercial. She (they) kept my attention more than the hair growing hype.

Like anything different things work for different people, i work from home and use it religously twice a day, when i used rogaine i only used it once a day, but over the last 4-5months i have seen some nice improvement in my hair growth from Scalpmend, who knows if i used Rogaine as religously as i used this stuff maybe i would have seen the same results.

The onion-juice idea sounds stinky and weird, but I did a quick search and found the following abstract published in the Journal of Dermatology in 2002. Apparently it’s been clinically proven to work. “Re-growth of terminal coarse hairs started after two weeks of treatment with crude onion juice. At four weeks, hair re-growth was seen in 17 patients (73.9%), and, at six weeks, the hair re-growth was observed in 20 patients” out of 23. That’s pretty impressive. (Is this the point where I praise Jesus?) I’m going to try it; what have I got to lose besides more hair?

Onion juice (Allium cepa L.), a new topical treatment for alopecia areata.
Sharquie KE, Al-Obaidi HK.
Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Baghdad Teaching Hospital, Iraq.

Alopecia areata is a patchy, non-scarring hair loss condition. Any hair-bearing surface may be involved, and different modalities of treatment have been used to induce hair regrowth. This study was designed to test the effectiveness of topical crude onion juice in the treatment of patchy alopecia areata in comparison with tap water. The patients were divided into two groups. The first group [onion juice treated] consisted of 23 patients, 16 males (69.5%) and 7 females (30.5%). Their ages ranged between 5-42 years with a mean of 22.7 years. The second group [control; tap-water-treated] consisted of 15 patients, 8 males (53.3%) and 7 females (46.6%). Their ages ranged between 3-35 years with a mean of 18.3 years. The two groups were advised to apply the treatment twice daily for two months. Re-growth of terminal coarse hairs started after two weeks of treatment with crude onion juice. At four weeks, hair re-growth was seen in 17 patients (73.9%), and, at six weeks, the hair re-growth was observed in 20 patients (86.9%) and was significantly higher among males (93.7%) compared to females (71.4%) P

I wonder what onion juice contains that makes the hair grow. I would do it if it didn’t have that awful smell….

I’m 26 and im losing excessive amounts of hair every day, i still have a lot of it and its almost unnoticeable; my dad and two older brothers are almost completely bald now, so i know i’ll have the same problem eventually. How can I stop losing all that hair, and how can i re-grow all the hair i’ve lost in the frontal area? That’s the only place you can tell i’m starting to have an issue. Is scalp-med the solution to my problem?

I wonder… has anyone tried Provillus. It sounds like another Procerin, but it looks really promising.

BTW, hi all. I’m 19 years old. Hispanic. Baldness runs in my family… on the paternal side. My father is bald, and a couple of uncles are bald too.

But I will defeat this. I know I will.

Ok i used it twice a day for 6 months (Scalpmed) it helped a little on the top of my head, but in the crown areas where most of my hairloss was NUTTIN!! waste of money, another infomerical scam

Reading 2 years of this blog was kind of like watching a soap opera. :) The characters, the plotlines, the cliifhangers. I noticed that the “old-timers” dont seem to be posting anymore, and I hope it’s cuz they found something that really worked for them.

I found this blog by googling “ScalpMed” and “reviews”, and boy did I get what was requested. My main reason in posting is to comment to a couple things people have repeatedly said. I havent tried ScalpMeds, and I havent decided if I will.. probably not, because I’m lazy.. but..

In response to the very common “It’s an infomercial, of course it cant be true!” statement – while it’s true that most infomercials are junk, there are several infomercial products that broke the glass ceiling to mainstream. The reason these products start as infomercials is because it’s a cheap (relatively speaking), easy (again.. relatively), and surprisingly effective form of marketing. Such products as: ProActive, George Forman Grill, Bare Minerals makeup, the IonicBreeze (I’m sure there are more, those are just the ones I can immediately think of) all capitolized on this form of media, and now established and mainstream. This isnt to say you should necessarily believe the claims of anything.. just dont dismiss it completely out of hand because it’s an infomercial.

With regards to the rubbing onion juice on your head thing – people do crazy things. However, there are LEGIT herbal and natural remedies for a host of things. For instance, honey on a cut or burn will help it heal faster. Avocado makes an incredible mask for your hair. Beer poured over your hair will make it incredibly shiny, as will a raw egg hair-mask. Raw granulated sugar in your facial soap or body cleanser will act as an effective exfolient. So again – dont dismiss something out of hand just cuz it sounds a little kooky. On the flip side, if it sounds a LOT kooky (standing bent over with your head in a bowl of urine?) feel free not to make it a personal trial. :)

Pardon My Error In Post #457

To “The Answer”. Post #117

Thanks, pal, for a great post. I, too, allowed hair loss to take over my life but after reading your own thoughts about the matter I’ve spent a bit of time examining relationships in my life. Especially with regard to “So-Called Friends” who you think really give a hoot about you but, in retrospect, are simply tagging you along with that occasional glance up to your cranium. My ex-wife, even as events seemed to suggest that we might again re-unite, recently made a thinly (No pun intended) disguised remark about my hair loss that left me feeling quite hurt and disgusted with myself for ever having had anything to do with such a vane woman….. Well, so much for that “BIMBO”. I’ve also begun to isolate others who I feel have also been “Tagging Me Along”…

After all is said and done, though, their “Are” quite a few friends and family out there who accept me for who I am and, thanks to your fine post, I can now recognize them.

Anyway, you “Did” reach at least one guy and my hope is that you’ve reached many others….. Thanks

Would just like to add that, one day, I am sure that technology will provide that “Magic Pill” with regard to hair loss (As of present date, I am sure it does’nt exist) but until then… Say a prayer for those who really are in need of our thoughts… The handicapped (Deaf, Blind, Amputee etc. etc.).

And take the advice offered in Post #117, use the money you might send to all those snake-oil clowns and send a gift off to that fine lady (Or gent) waiting in the wings.

I lost my hair from very aggressive chemotherapy, and it did not grow back in the crown of my head after completion of treament. I tried everything, and finally heard about scalpmed. I tried it in desperation, and it really did grow my hair. It took about a year for it to pretty much cover the crown of my head. I only stopped using scalpmed, because it was so expensive, I could no longer afford to buy it. Since I stopped using it, my hair is falling out again. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive.

Rogain works marginal, have not tried scalpmed and dont know if I will now but for a suggestion to the many people who simply dont know about it I use rogain to keep the hair I have and I use a product called toppik http://www.toppik.com that works marvels, when I put it on you can tell that I am thinning.

I was interested to buy the scalpmed product, but based on comments on here I refrained and researched more information on the web. Scalpmed contains 5% minoxidil, the exact same active ingredient of the Rogaine product. So how would people have less results with Scalmed than with Rogaine? My understanding is that minoxidil has indeed been researched with supporting evidence that in some cases this ingredient can cause hair-growth. It appears to also have been approved by FDA for hairgrowth use. And in another review I read that once there is FDA approval for (ex.) minoxidil, there is no need to apply for approval again for the same product, for the same use.

It seems unrealistic to assume that this topical medication will work for every person, and every balding case! Surely there must be different causes for the medical conditions even in hairloss? Where is there a medical treatment that work equal on every single patient?

Any clarification to this?

I’ve shaved my head a few years ago and feel great. I’m free.

How do these scams keep staying in business?? i sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission, along with this crappy product, probably won’t do any good, but geez someone has to do something when these snake skin oil salesmen dupe the public.

JD… Scalpmed is a scam, it’s nothing but snake oil, why the Federal Trade Commission hasn’t shut down these snake oil sales people is mind boggling. I used this garbage for over 6 months, i grew more hair on my back than on my head lol SCALPSCAM!! don’t use this garbage ugh

until the real cure comes out

JZ take it from a guy who has used everything, your better off just using Rogaine, you will save yourself alot of money. But at the end of the day Scalpmed is just overpriced snake oil.

The way i see it is……….. If Scalpmed worked as half as good as there infomericals claimed, people on this message board would be ranting and raving on how good it is! But if you read all of these messages here, most people believe like i do, Scalpmed is overpriced Rogaine. Yea a few messages here and there say…….. well…. i think it works, i see a few strands of hair on my head after 30days, or it’s kinda working, but it makes my scalp feel like it’s on fire, so i had to stop using it. I mean cmon people whos foolin who here?? lol lemme guess all the naysayers here are conspirators?? i don’t think so, Scalpmed is snake oil, it is what it is, and anyone else who saids different lives in denial.

30 Male i tried all the products but i faild to get the regrowth on my baldhead…..it was very disappointment for me i cannot close with my friends and relatives becuz of this….
plz advice me……

alot of people are saying scalpmed works alot are saying bla bla im sick and tired of you guys talking just please somone tell me if scalpmed works and thats it

i guees scalpmed didnt work for some people maybe its because alot of you people dont know how to use it because i can see on tv its says it works and they show pictures im not going to listen to no one im just gonna try it if it doesnt work then hej its all good its not like im gonna live for ever we all going to die .

john lol yea the TV saids it works LOL!! and the people on this board don’t know how to use it? and were not gonna live forever?? lol guys like you just amaze me LOL!!!

John spraying something on your head twice a day is probably pretty hard for alot of people in this country, i mean people buy timeshares, kinda shows you the stupidity of all lol

I am glad to say that Scalpmed absolutley works. I actually bought a 2 month supply earlier this year and returned it for a refund because I had the same problem many other people had. I was not seeing any results, and I was actually losing more hair than before. I found out that when you first start using the product, you will lose more hair to make way for new hair growth. Since then, I re-ordered Scalpmed and have been using it every day for 4 & a half months. I don’t have the full head of hair like I used to, but there has been a signifigant inprovement. According to the literature with the product, the best results should come around 6 to 8 months of use. I’m looking foward to even better results.

i ordered scalpmed in the internet i live i canada so i was wondering how long does it take until it comes because i orderd scalpmed with my viza card so please somene tell me will it come or i just lost my money.

Have not tried Scalp med, but i am having great results with cool laser hair therapy, stop the loss and have had great growth over the last six months

hi guys i was wondering do you hvae to use scalpmed rest of your life because i didnt realy lose that much hair soo if i get my hair back should i order this thing agin …

EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BEFORE YOU EVER THINK ABOUT BUYING SCALP MED. Hi, my name is Lexy and I purchased Scalp Med last year sometime for my boyfriend because he is going bald at the top front of his head.

hi im 17 now, and i knew that i would start balding at a very early age thx to my bald dad and bald grandma but i never imagined that by 16 my hairline would be right above my ears. i havent tried any products cause i silmply cant afford them on a paper route salary. so what i noticed that really stopped my hairloss and regrew my hair (slowly but surely) was a method that ive been using. i lay on the top bunk bed and let my head hang of the edge of the bed and have my two younger brother and sister continuesly, gently slap the top of my head for a period of 30 minutes once a day. dont know exacly why this works but it does. maybe it increases blood flow in that area or something. in return i let them use my xbox 360 for an hour a day each. sux, but it’s alot cheaper than all these products people use. well i hope you guys try my method and let everyone know you regrew your hair using the ” Bobby Method” . thx, take care!

Lexy i feel your pain, this crap Scalpmed is nothing but a scam, they lie cheat and steal, why the FTC hasn’t shut this scam down is mind boggling. This crap doesn’t work, they do not refund your money, they are a bunch of sorry crooks selling snake oil ugh

So my dad ordered it from an informercial, and didn’t even try it when it arrived. A few months later, ANOTHER one came! My dad didn’t even order it and they charged his credit card and everything. So he called them and asked what is going on, and they kept transferring him to 4 different people and finally they said that he can get a refund. I’m not even sure that they’ll give him the refund. Now we have to go to the post office to return it.

I don’t know about the product itself, but looking at the company and its ethics, it doesn’t seem quite trustworthy.

Seems to me like a scam.

Just a reminder that taking NSAIDS like Motrin and Advil, etc. and even aspirin affects the protaglandin production necessary to grow hair and will cause alopecia.

Posts like #486 gripe me. I have difficulty understanding what is being said by the horrible grammar. Mine stinks, but I think I can be understood. It makes me think the person cares nothing about what they are saying and are making a big joke. I suppose they may be stupid. I don’t think it is funny at all. I have tried, “Getting Scalped by Med,” for 6 months and I cannot see anything that didn’t appear before. I had little hairs grow out in the thin spots on occasions without applying anything at all. You all need to look very close at how your body starts hairs in the places that have gone bald. I always had a few new hairs growing in the bald spots. Every time I saw these I hoped it way my body fixing the problem, but alas it just happened normally at weird times of it’s own choosing. The snake oil sales persons depend on our ignorance of what normally goes on and hails every hair that pops out on your noggin as something their junk is creating. If you start fussing over your scalp without the chemicals and just the shampoos, vitamins, exercise and good food you will grow a few more hairs. Anyway, save your money, scalp and read the double blind studies done on the legitimate products. You will see that nature will grow extra hair on people who did absolutely nothing but show up to the study. I miss my hair, but at fifty now I am having issues with my body that make my hair problems seem like one little pimple. My conclusion: If you can be a kind, caring, generous person most of the people you end up with as your friends will not care if all of your hair falls out overnight because they look at you for who you are not what you look like. I hope you can all be satisfied with what you see in the mirror, however I know what it is like to see a forehead grow and inch every year. If I can offer any advise at all, it would be to never grow old.
