| yeh i took shots of the day i started my regime then shots of my crown just over 6 weeks after starting the treatments. will post either tonight or tomorrow. dedication is "key". let's be honest, many of us say we've been on so-and-so treatment for x amount of months and not seen results. fact is MOST of us miss a lot of days, get lazy, and hop back on. Unfortunately that's not going to maximise results.

GrowingitLong (4/21/2009)
Biotin: It is the best known supplement for the health and beauty of Hair, Skin and Nails. Also referred to as Vitamin H, this vitamin promotes hair growth, protects against dryness and is involved in the biosynthesis of unsaturated fats. Increases the elasticity of the hair's cortex preventing breakage. It also thickenss the actual hair cuticle providing a fuller appearance because of the increased diameter of the hair shaft. A lack of Biotin would result in dermatitis and hair loss. I take propecia and it leaves dark circles uner my eyes. What would help with that MJ2003? Would Biotin? You said it helps with the skin. I'm almost confident biotin will not help with the dark circles you're getting under your eyes. You should first confirm whether or not this is caused from propecia. Many times when we're taking a drug that we "heard" causes such-and-such side effect, we're always thinking about it and worried about so much that anything that happens we say "it must be form the drug" which is usually not the case. Are you sleeping well? Are you stressed? Has your eating habbits gone form health to severe junk? Are you drinkng water? Best way to confirm without causing negative effects on your hair is to stop tkaing propecia for about 3 weeks and see what happens to your eyes. Make sure you also keep close tab of any other changes you make to your life styles. If in the weeks you see your dark bags undr your eyes fading or get better than you know its from propecia, and if not than rest assure it's unlikely it's propecia. That being said, from my understanding, there are two occasions where dark circles/bags under the eyes cannot be cured with any med or surgery is the ones that are hereditary (like mine, theyre genetic) or caused by medications. Use all the cream you want, I really doubt it will make a difference "if" it's caused form your meds. If theyre caused from lack of rest or just other unhealthy contributed to your body then facial cream vitamins/minerals etc. will work.

yeh i took shots of the day i started my regime then shots of my crown just over 6 weeks after starting the treatments. will post either tonight or tomorrow. dedication is "key". let's be honest, many of us say we've been on so-and-so treatment for x amount of months and not seen results. fact is MOST of us miss a lot of days, get lazy, and hop back on. Unfortunately that's not going to maximise results. Can we see your photos please?

The first 2 large photos with longer hair are the photos I took just before starting my treatments. The 3 smaller photos with short hair are approximately 6 weeks post-op. I think for 6 weeks that's fantastic.

| That's not bad, as you go forward for your enxt update can you try and take photos at the same angle. Hard to tell from those pics but it does look like there has been an improvement. Keep up with the routine.

| I can certainly try. I wonder if everyone else that takes their own pics find it as difficult as I did. I went from room to room including the bathroom, and shot at multiple different angles and different distances from the light to a point I almost said "screw it" and give up. Maybe its the lighting or the camera or both but it was really frustrating. Sometimes I only got half of my head, sometimes too close, sometimes too far. Out of 23 pictures these turned out the closest to good pics. But take my word for it, in person it is more apparent to the naked eye of the progress. I was actually not the one to notice it, it was someone else and that's when I decided to take a look, because I wasn't expecting anything at the 6 week mark. For 6 weeks 0 progress is expected. I'm very greatful.
