no pics, i mostly noticed it on the crown area, on top. & in the direct top of my head, my hair is a bit patchy, one side is real good(left) then split down the center the other side needs work..(RIGHT)weird huh? I used dr.lee for awhile, not alot of results either. i would consider the new stronger stuff from spectral dnc, kinda like the 15% xandrox, less grainy/gritty. NOT sure which is more effective? But i'm leaning toward the dnc, & hands down WAY CHEAPER. i use both strengths of dnc. i also used the spiro stuff from dr.lee, the biggest waste of time ever. The stuff is unbearably stinky. thats the topical version of dht blocker. just no good. i used the old 12% xandrox, & moved to the 15% & used 2 bottles & it didn't seem to have improved strength, at all. In fact i'm becoming sceptical that the weaker version of spectral dnc, is more effective, than the stronger...maybe just in my head. But the cost is good, and is has very little smell. Of course it's hard to tell whats doing what, you know. Fortunatly your not on avodart yet, so you should have a pretty good idea, how effective the results have been for you! so far avodart(the real stuff) & laser therapy are the 2 best things i've come across, better than any lotion. minoxidil 5%, made me shed terriably, i'm still working on, trying to get back, i've never shed on spectral dnc, a bit more natural.

Hey thanks so much Where do I pic up the spetral dnc? how much cheaper is it? I tried laser but had no luck at all. I think everybody responds differently. I am gonna go for the real avodart for a couple months and see what happens. Strange that you are having results on one side. Never heard of that before. But better than nothing. All the best

spectral dnc is on e-bay or amazon, they have 2 strengths. that big bottle of 15% xandrox cost like $75, i think dnc 12% cost like under 40. not quite as much though, but almost half as much, in cost. But as i stated, the regular stuff may work just as good. I use that in the morning, and the 12% at night. The stuff barely smells, so thats a huge perk, & it seems to work for me. if you start this with avodart, you should take off, avodart works pretty fast. I have buzzed hair so i can monitor the results, pretty efficently. It covered a pretty remarkable amount in 3 months. I think that a good period to stay on it & then if it works for you, move to generic. I did notice it really helped to take it ever day, once, i was a bit lazy about it, and i think i noticed not taking it, regularlly,i'm been very good lately. best of luck!
