Come on bug, you gave me no reason why my money back guarantee wouldn't work for A&G. Ugh please stop. You are obviously trolling. Why dont you turn off your computer and come back in 4 months. Its obvious im not going to get through to you. You dont seem to understand the concept of one time treat...

Bug- I'm familiar with plucking hairs to induce anagen but have also read that the plucking of thousands of hairs might be required to truly induce anagen in a non-rodent setting. What's your take on that? Hi Chore boy Well Id have to read the paper to comment on it :) Do you have a link or citatio...

This is my last reply on this ridiculous topic of returns. As I already explained those companies produce their bogus products in some factory in china for $1 a bottle. They sell a 90 or 120 day supply to you for $150 bucks plus shipping and handling. When you return the unused portion (which they r...

Where is the rest of the gang? The old site is shut down and I got an email about a new one that I cant seem to join.

Well I just applied my 1st dose of 2ml(1/3 of a bottle) I plan on only using 2ml every second day for 15 treatments over 30 days. Before my shower: I used facial wax strips and waxed away all the <1mm colourless fuzz/hair from the slick bald areas. This initiates anagen. I used a foam nail file on o...

Dr AQ, Are you confident enough with Hair Complex to give anyone who tried the product and saw no results a full or partial refund? That's absurd. Who does that? How would A&G be able to verify it didn't work at all? Sounds to me like you want to have your cake and eat it too. How about A&G refunds...

My AGHC has arrived

Looks like customs opened the outer mailing package but not the AG packaging.

The only thing left to do now is to try it!

Hi Dr AQ I wasnt blaming you for the delay just stating the case :) I wonder do you list the contents as cosmetic and topically applied? Like "scalp conditioner" ? If not...speaking from experience doing so helps with customs. Just trying to help :) I was also just about to post in your defence that...

So it looks like I'm another Canadian who didn't receive their order. I normally order supplements from a company in California called iHerb. I ordered from them on April 14th and used their slowest and cheapest shipping method(first class mail). I ordered the AGHC 4 days earlier on April 10th and a...

Bug: sorry for the late answer buddy, my bad. The answer is YES. We've seen a total reverse of MPB in some of the trials, to the point were I had to go back and check it myself.

WOW!!

Dr AQ

Did any of the people in your trials grow hair in front of their receding hairlines? (See the red circled area of the attached picture.)
In other words did anybody go from a Norwood IV to a Norwood II or I ?

Thanks Dr AQ

I might give microdermabrasion a try on one temple.

Jajo

To add...its only 5 treatments verses 2x a day every day chronic use of rogaine

bug

Dr Aq

Quicky...do you think gentle skin ablative wounding(microdermabrasion, chemical peels) would enhance the AG hair complex on slick bald areas?

Thanks
bug

Nate I think my answer to your question would be a very long rambling stream of consciousness. It was nothing specifically about what Dr AQ said or anything specific about the product since we have been given very little information. There have been a lot of papers about this growth factor or that g...

I've went from standing STEADY on the fence to teetering - now I see the BUG man has caved!?

OK Im off the fence. I just purchased the AGHC. I live in Canada so I hope it gets here OK. Ive never tried anything without knowing so little about how it works but I appreciate the "thinking outside of the box" effort by Dr AQ so I figure I'll take a leap of faith. From what little I do know about...

bug

So some of you may be aware of this platelet rich plasma treatment http://doctorgreco.blogspot.com/ What I find interesting about it is that in a very different route it is doing something I imagine is similar to the AGHC. Both methods are introducing a spectrum of growth factors produced by human c...

cool, making a peptide using the cell's machinery (DNA-RNA-ribosomes-peptides)? delivery of large compounds can be achieved by breaking them into small stable pieces and then allowing them to recombine inside the tissue by providing high affinity catalysts.

Thanks for the reply Dr AQ!

Hi Redbird Well you and I differ I guess. To me new follicles are new follicles. It doesnt matter what the angle is or lighting. Ive been posting to hair loss forums since 1993 and I have never seen a photo of a human scalp showing individual brand new follicles.... and thats because nobody else has...

I don't find Histogen's pictures all that impressive either. One safety dose application and 12 weeks later this is the result: Individual follicular units were counted, and this subject increased the number of apparent hair follicles from 217 to 265. Total hair counts showed an increase from 307 t...

Dr AQ Since I cant get any answers about ingedients or how your product works I'll ask something else... Why is the description of your skin serum a direct cut and paste from a skin product(ReLuma) by Invitrx? See both below with only the names of the product changed. It would appear ReLuma has been...

Hey SW2 I apologize. My frustration got the best of me.

Ok this is getting absurd While Im greatly impressed that Dr AQ has taken the time to answer questions(none of mine) I find it a little ridiculous that people are asking things like: How much will it cost?

Did you find that paper on pubmed? Do you know any of the authors names?

Do I understand your post correctly...the price is double for Canadians(me) and others outside of the US?? Why??

Hi Dr AQ

We are all very aware of Histogen patent lawsuit.

You mentioned in an earlier post that you would direct us to paper that might provide some clues as to how to your product works. I'd very interested in reading that paper. Could you cite the paper please?

Thanks!

Hi P Actually Histogen and Cotsarelis are the doing the same thing in very different ways. Histogen even admits that the science behind what they are doing comes from Cotsarelis' work. In both cases they are introducing wnt proteins. Histogen has found a way to create biologically active wnts and th...

bug

Hi P In the Cotsarelis paper(referenced above) the increase of follicles only occurred when wnts were up-regulated. They blocked dkk1. This is why Histogen is injecting biologically active wnts into the scalp in their regenica product trials(see referenced pdf above). Cotsarelis did agonize dkk1 ver...

p_

Upregulating the dkk1 gene is the worst thing we could possibly do for hair....followed closely by increasing tgf-beta. I certainly hope the A&G product does neither of these things!
