Noticed Regrowth Within 2 Months of My Treatment Regimen

I find your blog to be an incredibly truthful gem floating in a sea of smoke and mirrors, and I thank you for that. Now on to my question(s)…

I have been searching all over the net for doctors of your calibur and style in my area (Chicago IL), but I have not been able to find anything. Can you recommend anyone? (I am currently not interested in transplants, just a general consultant and someone to check my miniaturization/progress). If not, perhaps you can help without seeing me. My current treatment is as follows: I take Propecia in the morning (started 4.5 months ago), I also use Revivogen at night (started 3 months ago), and I use the Hairmax lasercomb (used regularly for 2 months or so). At 2 months I had noticable hair regrowth at my temples.. this hair has since grown to about an inch long. There was a period of extreme itching/shedding (at 3.5mo), but it faded. Now for the past 1.5-2 weeks my head has been itching and shedding AGAIN.

I have done my best to look at all the hairs falling out and there are 2 main types of hairs visible… one is a strong and solid hair (about 50% of the fallout), the other is a weird thin/curly tipped hair but with a noticably stronger/straighter (I have very straight hair normally) base to it (50% aswell). Is it possible for someone to have positive regrowth in 2 months but then plummet back to balding again? Are these thin tipped+strong based hairs a good sign of Propecia reversing the miniaturization?

Also, I see very little progress at the crown, is it possible to regrow at the temples but not at the crown?

Any advice is greatly appreciated. PS: I’m a 24 year old male if it matters.

Generally, I rarely see any gain in hair growth at two months no matter what type of treatment. So you must be doing something that no one is aware of. In short, I really cannot comment on what is going on with your hair growth or hair loss, and I really don’t know why you have itching and shedding either.

With respect to hair growth cycles, it is a very SLOW process and nothing happens in one or two months. Hair grows for several years and hair sheds over several months. Unfortunately, I do not know of many doctors who routinely do miniaturization studies, though there is more and more doing it nowadays. I would consult with a good, caring dermatologist to see what is causing your itching and shedding.
