Buy Propecia Online

Propecia is the only FDA-approved, non-topical prescription treatment for androgenetic alopecia, or male pattern baldness, and it has been demonstrated to stop hair loss and regrow hair in 67% of users.  However, Propecia does have side effects, ranging from allergic reactions to sexual dysfunctions, such as inadequate ejaculation and loss of libido.  However, these side effects are very minimal, appearing in 2% of initial users and fading to .03% at the end of a five-year regimen of treatment.   The benefits of Propecia greatly outweigh the probability of side effects. 

Well, guys, consider the alternatives: you could (and most likely will) go bald, use Minoxidil, get a hair transplant, use herbal treatments, try massage, or wear a hat the rest of your life. You could, in fact, try a number of remedies other than Propecia.  Let us  explore those remedies.

Balding occurs in almost 80% of men in the Western world. Civilization is adapting, and some women think bald men are sexy.  However, the men themselves feel like second-class citizens for the most part; balding is shown to have definite psychological impacts, from loss of self-esteem to anxiety and depression, and can even lead to thoughts of suicide. How sexy is that?

Minoxidil, a topical treatment for balding, has less than a 50% effectiveness rating (compared to Propecia’s almost 70%). It can also cause severe rashes, and it cannot be used in specific cases of heart disease or hypertension.  You cannot use it for 24 hours after you dye your hair.  Even after 24 hours, it may cause scalp swelling and irritation. You cannot use it if your scalp is wet, and you cannot shampoo for another 4 hours. You have to wash your hands thoroughly after application and prevent contaminating anything you touch while using it (especially your wife or significant other). You cannot use a hairdryer. You may stain your clothing. You could develop burning scalp, increased hair loss, an inflamed scalp, even acne. Your face may swell. None of these problems or symptoms occurs with Propecia.

How about hair transplants? Well, in the old days, they used to cut out little plugs of good hair from the back of your head, leaving the “harvested” area to heal by itself. Eventually, the plugs were taken out in rows and the edges sewn together. Afterwards, surgeons started using multi-bladed scalpels to remove strips. This did not work well; the excised strips had non-viable follicles, and therefore, the transplant was as much skin as hair. Now they use follicular transplantation. Implanting is difficult; the grafts are smaller and the skill required to plant them requires steady hands and a good eye. This translates into megabucks. As for the question of whether it hurts, the answer is that they use a local anesthetic. Propecia is painless, even to the wallet. At about $50 a month, Propecia costs less than you spend at Starbucks.

Let’s discuss herbal remedies, which are usually more buck than bang. The herbs themselves may not be the problem; it may be the method of preparation, the age of the herbs in question, the length of time they have sat on the shelf, or your body’s ability to metabolize them. Whatever the case, most herbs are only about 30% effective, compared to Propecia’s 70% effectiveness rating.

Are you thinking about trying massage? This particular therapy will improve blood flow to your scalp and feel great in the process, but will do nothing to block the testosterone conversion process which causes hair loss.  On the other hand, Propecia blocks the conversion that causes you to lose your hair.  Wearing a hat will only increase hair loss – friction damages the hair shaft, dried sweat plugs the follicles, and lack of oxygen causes follicular stress.  Propecia does none of these, and it looks better on you, too.

Mark, my brother, who at the age of 27 is losing his hair.  

For Mark, his hair loss is very real and painful. An otherwise handsome, well-built, intelligent, and personable young man, his receding hairline that began at the age of 19 has crept back and created a large bald area on his head.  Therefore, he either shaves his head or wears a baseball hat to hide his lost hair. 

After reading about Propecia, I introduced him to the solution three months ago, and it has been a relief to the difficult journey he has experienced combating his hair loss.  Although the growth has been minimal, Propecia is slowly working, and his bald spot has stopped increasing in size.     

Before Propecia, my brother’s self-esteem was at an all-time low.  Once the life of the party who usually dated several girls simultaneously, he had all about retreated from the dating world.  Lack of confidence does not show well for women in a bar or nightclub.  However, after three months of using Propecia, he is finally to get his hair…and his groove back.       

However, before Propecia, his hair and life was a different story… 

Experiments with the other “solutions”

Over the last five years, Mark has tried almost every “solution” available online, through the TV, and in brick-and-mortar stores.  

He bought a gadget earlier this year, called a laser comb, which guarantees hair growth. It cost him nearly a week’s salary, and he used it faithfully for 30 days. What he got was an itchy, reddened scalp, as he did not have enough hair in his bald spot to deflect the comb’s teeth.  In comparison, Propecia, as a pill, did not cause scalp irritation for him.   

He had tried herbal remedies, both creams and pills. He said, “the pills gave me a headache, and the creams smelled funky.”  Plus, they were not working.  Propecia did not only work, but did so without headaches, cream mixtures, or strange smells.   

Mark also researched Rogaine, but realized that it was not compatible for his health conditions.  Our father had several heart attacks, and Mark’s doctor did not advise him to utilize Rogaine.  Thankfully, Propecia has very few side effects, with very small chances of occurrence nonetheless. 

Mark had tried everything else on the market. Well, almost everything. He would not go for hair plugs, as he believes they look painful and fake.  I have to agree with him. It does look bloody, disgusting and excruciating, and I know there are more nerves and blood vessels in the scalp than in any other skin on the body.  Propecia, on the other hand, is painless and only takes one pill a day.

Progress, one hair at a time 

Mark takes one Propecia pill a day, and three months later, there is definitely progress.  His receding hairline / bald spot stopped expanding, and there is some growth back in his hair.  Although the growth is small, Propecia is slowly working.  With Propecia, my brother is finally gaining back some of his confidence, and he actually has hope for his hair for the first time in many years.  In fact, he has a date this weekend.  I am trying to persuade him not to wear the baseball hat, but I think that may take a few more months of additional Propecia hair growth.  Although it is occurring slowly, his confidence is grow back, one hair at a time with Propecia.  

If you are buying medications or hair loss treatments that are not on the “exempt” list you are going to find that it’s much more difficult to deal with the hubbub and the regulations, and it may be nearly impossible to get the pharmacy to actually ship the item to you. Many products that are pharmacy related can be found online in both name brand and generic varieties.

If you live in the UK, or The European Union, the hard part won’t be finding a reputable online pharmacy to buy from; the hard part will be actually getting the medication into the country itself. In the case of hair loss medication (such as Rogaine or Propecia), there are two reasons why it would be ceased at customs:

1. It is considered counterfeit – Counterfeiting is a massive international business that operates entirely underground. Everything from cologne to speakers are counterfeited, and the both the EU and the UK governments take active steps to prevent counterfeit products from reaching the UK population.
   
   
2. It is a controlled substance – In the case of Propecia (which requires a prescription in order to use), importing Propecia from overseas may not be a good idea. In fact, if you are caught you could face some pretty significant charges and fines.

Ordering Hair Loss Treatments Online

Always ensure that when you are handing out your personal information you are still on the actual site itself and not a site that has been designed to imitate the look of the legitimate product website. Paypal is one such website that is very often “spoofed” (copied appearance wise)- users are constantly receiving e-mails from PayPal telling them what and what not to do.

If you’ve found a safe and secure online pharmacy to order from, the next step is arranging for appropriate shipment. If you have a prescription for the medication being order (Propecia, for example) you should forward that information to the pharmacy so that it can be included with the customs paperwork. If you do not have a prescription and you are ordering it anyway, well, I suppose it’s time I said the following:

We do not take any responsibility for medication that is ceased at the boarder or any legal complications that arise as the result of ordering hair loss medication, or any other kind of medication, online from unauthorized or international pharmacies. The information on this website is for entertainment purposes and as such we maintain no warranty or obligation in regards to the information presented on this web site.

Use at your own risk!

There, I think that adequately sums up my feeling on that doesn’t it?

The sun has set in the evenings sky, and after much anticipation and excitement, the time has come. It is time to determine which hair loss treatment is the best- which is king of the hill, so to speak. On one hand we have Rogaine, a topically applied treatment that is relatively invasive and requires a few minutes a day to ensure proper application. On the other we have Propecia, a oral medication that does its magic internally on a hormonal level.

There are man opinions and research studies that lend support to either treatment, and from the perspective of the consumer it is almost impossible to determine which one to choose. Many people simply choose based on randomness, as both treatments are equally applauded and awarded for their success and histories.

No more. We have come to settle the score.

Rogaine

By far the more popular of the two, Rogaine has been around for quite some time. The active ingredient, Minoxidil, is actually applied via topical treatment to the hair and massaged into the scalp. Think of it as applying a form of conditioner or hair gel. Rogaine can be ordered as either a solution or as a foam, both of which have considerable properties and are equally effective. Rogaine does have an extra strength variety if you need it (for whatever reason).

Rogaine’s success rate is approximately 51%, which given the condition that it is treating is actually incredibly high. As you may expect, different levels of success were experienced- some experienced new hair growth, while others experienced a cessation of further hair loss. As with all things, your results may vary.

Propecia

Propecia is not quite as popular simply because it is not as well known. When compared to Rogaine, Propecia is much less invasive: it is an oral treatment that is taken as prescribed. Its active ingredient, Finasteride, works by preventing the distribution of DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) into the blood stream. In is technically classified as an inhibitor, and it is not available without a prescription.

Propecia’s success rate currently stands at a reported 75% average, which is quite remarkable. Many tests have been done on the effectiveness of Propecia, and the success rates have averaged out to 75%- very high given the nature of the condition that it is treating. However, Propecia is reported to have more active side effects when compared to Rogaine.

Overall: Rogaine or Propecia?

The reality is that after all of our research we are unable to come to a conclusion. The fact of the matter is that no one solution is the “ideal” solution for every person. Rogaine is very effective, as is Propecia. Rogaine is topical, Propecia is ingested. Both work through different means.

In our opinion, try them both (one after another) and determine which one works for you.

I have been experiencing hair loss for a while now. My grandfather had lost almost all of his hair by the time he was 31, and my father had a similar fate, only he was 29 when he lost his hair. I, at 30, am starting to feel the same effects. Needless to say, I am not pleased. When I first noticed the early signs of hair loss I was frustrated, angry, and a little depressed.

I was also feeling a tinge of irony, as my father had warned me my entire life that I would soon fall victim to the hair loss curse. His father had not been spared, he had not been spared, and nor would I. For him, my losing hair meant the successful transference of one family “tradition” to me.

Sorry, but I don’t want that tradition.

Rogaine: The Treatment

I spoke with my doctor who, after being genuinely surprised that my father hadn’t tried some kind of treatment, recommended Rogaine to me. Rogaine is typically a 2% solution of Minoxidil, a drug that has shown promising results when treating hair loss. I have the foam variety, which is easier to apply and also much easier to conceal. I’m not exactly enthralled about being 30 and losing my hair, and the last thing that I want to do is have one of my kids or worse (my friends) find the bottle.

The Rogaine bottle looks just like a bottle of shaving cream, so it’s nice and easy for me to conceal. I couldn’t be happier about that.

Long Term Review

Since you need to use Rogaine for nearly four months before you will start to see any real results (or so their site says) I’ve decided to report my results at the end of four months. As of right now I have thinning hair on the top of my head as well as a pretty prominent receding hairline (widow’s peak).

I’m hoping that Rogaine will grow some hair back, or at the very least, stop my hair from falling out.

Update: Four Months Later

So four months flew by, and my results are mixed. My hair doesn’t fall out anymore and I have experienced a slight amount of regrowth, but it definitely isn’t a huge amount when it comes to the regrowth. However, I’m happy with how Rogaine is working so far and I’m also convinced that my results are only going to get better with time.

I experienced a “peach fuzz” phase where the hair that came in was light and blonde, but I’m told that’s to be expected. Perhaps I’ll update this in another four months (January, 2008).
