Stop or Keep Going? Spectral DNC

[kpingul415]

ive been using spectral dnc for almost a week. Noticed shedding within the first 2 days of use. Should i stop or keep going. will it get worse.

 

[jrg]

what else can you do? keep going...

 

[kpingul415]

is it a good thing or bad thing. does it mean im responding or what?

 

[jrg]

It likely means its having an effect. Whether it works cosmetically, you will have to wait several months before making an assessment. I too use spectral...

 

[kpingul415]

how long have you been using it. did it have the same affect in the first months or what? what else do you use.

 

[jrg]

For spectral, around 2 months. However, I've been using Dr. Lee's minoxidil for the last 3 years together with finasteride and nizoral.
Yes, there was a slight shed for about 1-2 weeks.

I did not get back to my pre hairloss state, but at least it slowed down substantially... and slowly, you will get used to reality.

 

[kpingul415]

so you think or anybody think that using minoxidil and nizoral is a good idea. 1 percent or 2 is the question????????

 

[jrg]

almost everyone in this forum would recommend using both.
1 or 2% doesn't matter that much. I think the 1% smell better. I also use T-Gel but really I don't think it is going to make an difference cosmetically.

 

[kpingul415]

so it is used 1 or twice a week. and could i start now or do i have to wait?.

 

[Sean68]

ideally every three days. ive always used the 2% just to be sure so id say use that and switch to the 1% if its too harsh for you but it shouldnt be.

how long does anybody think it will take of more shedding. i started the first two days of apply. any answers?

sheds are unique to each indiviual.

The classic shed normally starts soon after beginning treatment and lasts anywhere form 2 - 4 weeks.

Not so much w/ spectral, but w/ the foam, sheds to be all over the place, starting and stopping and re-occuring at a variety of intervals.

I'd stick w/ it. If the shed lasts more than 4 weeks - then it's time to reconsider.

The company line is - that any hair you shed should grow back thicker and stronger.

 

[kpingul415]

so i should stay on it. give it 2 weeks n see if i keep shedding ill stop.

also if i use nizoral 2% will it boost the hair growth orno
