I currently have very little hairloss, not very noticeable at all in fact. However, I am currently using Revita, Minox, and Proscar. The reason I started using them all in the first place was because I noticed some hair loss and the Hair Club microscopic camera confirmed it.

I have heard that Revita and Minox are weak, plus Minox is just regrowth formula. I feel that I am satisfied with my current amount of hair and don't need to regrow any through the Minox. So my question is, can I just use the Proscar only to prevent further hairloss since I feel I don't need to regrow any, or do I need to continue staying on all 3?

mrsportsy,

If you are going to select one to stick with, I'd stick with Proscar. If you don't mind the regime, using all 3 gives you the greatest chance to maintain and regrow hair. Proscar (1/4 tablet) can be effective by itself but is often enhanced by minoxidil.

Yup

The BIG 3

I keep hearing people saying big 3 ....Isn't Revita a shampoo? According to many docs, shampoos don't have ANY hair growth promotion, am I wrong?

Hi

Your doc is for the most part correct. However the active ingredient in Revita ( and Nizoral) has shown a positive effect in increasing haircount. In addition Revita has a nice cosmetic effect so with this in mind some ( including myself) include this in their hair loss regimine

So basically, the shampoo just makes you hair Fluffy? thus cosmetically fuller?

HairDew,

Revita and Nizoral contain an ingredient called ketoconazole which has been studied and potentially a "weak" DHT inhibitor. Though I am skeptical that in itself, that it will regrow hair, using it as an adjunct treatment might be helpful.

See more on ketoconazole.
