For the record, I do not endorse many products out there. I still maintain my buyer beware mantra, and I will be the first to say this to all my patients. But I also recently acquired a Dermatology / Cosmetic practice (Wilshire Center for Dermatology) and expanded my medical services with new physicians who offer […]

As the article says, the study was conducted on reconstructed tissue samples. In other words, the study was done in a petri dish (not on live humans), in order to “assess the effects of the test compound on the metabolism of testosterone in reconstructed human epidermis.” Nothing about growing hair, stopping hair loss, etc. The […]
There is no scientific evidence that a skin application can get to the hair follicle with a DHT blocker, and as Revivogen is a topical and Propecia is an oral, therein lies the answer to your question. Revivogen does not block DHT the same way finasteride does. The study doesn’t show Revivogen working better than […]
You’re still in your early 20s with early hair loss — so yes, it does sound like you’re doing the right thing by starting Propecia. Having only taken Propecia for two months, you aren’t likely to see any benefits just yet, but stick with it. The Revivogen/minoxidil combo isn’t something I’ve heard tried before, but […]
You can experiment with almost anything that is not prescription, including Revivogen. It is not true that medications that are developed by a doctor will not cause allergic reactions as they happen, but if someone is telling you this, then I would run from the recommendation. You can still get an allergic reaction if you’re […]
The science looks interesting, but it is not clear from this study that there will be actual hair growth. If you want a known DHT blocker, finasteride is safe and proven to work. Nonetheless, I appreciate the link and thanks for sending.
There are no drugs proven to restore a hairline. Drugs such as Propecia may slow down the hair loss or maintain your current hairline, but it has limitations. Revivogen is a shampoo — it is not a drug. There is no medical proof that it stops hair loss. Propecia is a drug (a pill you […]
The enthusiasm for these products is hard to put into objective terms. I always want a good piece of science to form opinions. Many such products just do not have such science behind them. You ask me questions about how these products may interact, and I say I do not know how these products work, […]
Propecia (finasteride) is a known DHT blocker while Revivogen is not main stream for DHT blocking and there is minimal science to back up the claims for DHT blocking in that product. I have heard about pain in testicles just recently with Propecia. Sounds to me like you are going to lose a lot a […]
Revivogen seems to make claims about ‘proven’ DHT blocking and ‘Doctor formulated’ natural ingredients. Kevis has minoxidil as an active ingredient. There is clear value to minoxidil, but you can buy this over the counter at substantially less money than with the Kevis formula and Revivogen has made claims that are not widely accepted although […]
If your doctors have told you that your hair is fine, there’s no reason to start using any product proactively. You might end up doing more harm than good. I hope you’re not treating yourself, but since you’re on finasteride (Propecia), I’ll assume your doctor prescribed it to you because he/she saw some loss… and […]
I don’t think adding all the treatment options will diminish the effects of Propecia (finasteride 1mg), however, as enthusiastic and motivated as you are, you need to think in realistic terms. Once you start three separate treatments how do you know which product is working and which is not? At what point are you going […]
That is not entirely true. There are of course costs involved, but most dietary supplements don’t require FDA approval before they come to market. The key issue is that there is no patent on saw palmetto, so these supplement companies don’t have an exclusive right to sell it. They’d just be spending money to try […]
There is a lot of money to be made by testing victims for bogus hair loss causes. I really do not know anything about this particular company or the value of taking the products that they recommend. Buyer beware. If you’re concerned, I’d think you’d want to see a doctor that can examine you and […]
You should take 1mg of Propecia (per your doctor’s prescription) and if you develop side effects, you can cut the dose… but going the other way makes no sense. 99% of people do not get sexual side effects addressing sexual performance. Why would you assume you are in the 1% group of the population?
