Does Rogaine really work? Is there any other hair restoration products that work better?

The mr. is having some self esteem issue due to a receding hairline. I can't even tell but he thinks he can. He's been asking a lot of questions about Rogaine...but I always assumed it was just a gimmick. Any thoughts?Does Rogaine really work? Is there any other hair restoration products that work better?
It really works; thus the FDA approval. Being old enough to remember it going through the approval process, I am also old enough to have lost a lot of hair. My thoughts from experience are - age with dignity, not vanity. Don't worry about your hair; in the end you have to accept the aging process, and drugs and transplants don't fully replace your hair any more than you get to be 23 again. Also, a wife who's obviously still very attracted to you does wonders for the self-esteem. Finally, I don't think self-esteem ought to come mostly from one's hair.Does Rogaine really work?

Some of my patients have used it. It works for some it doesn't (in terms of long term). Short term use it does work (6 months at most).





Currently the best way is to get a plastic surgeon (a skilled one that is). Is to remove a man's back hair, cut about 5-18 slits in the head (number of slits varies on how close man is to balding). And then doing some types of stitching to complete it. So far, most people who have had this type of cosmetic procedure are successful in having full head of hair that resembles their early 20s. Currently there is Plastic Surgeon who is milking this technique in California and Toronto. But he has hundreds of consulting offices around the world (last time i checked it was 120)
Hi I have been using this product .It really works.In one month the hair will stop falling and in 3 to 4 months new hair will begin to grow.But it only works with regular use.And after he quits using the product the hair will start falling again and with more speed I guess
Rogaine does have some success in getting hair to grow back but he would have to continue using it forever. If he stops the hair will just fall out and he's back to square one. I don't think they mention the lifetime use on the package?
idk if it works or not, but my math teacher in 7th grade was balding and i always called him ';rogaine failure';. Ohhh good times.
