  I thought those gels were a scam. Do you apply it where you want (more) hair growth?

    I’m sure the internet is full of scam gels. In the US, I’m pretty sure you need a doctor’s prescription for the real thing.

    Just a heads up so you’re sure you’re both talking about the same thing here.

      Possibly, my impression is 100% based on internet advertising and what I’ve seen for sale at US gas stations. I’m thankful I don’t need it, I just wasn’t aware that non-scam versions of creams like that existed.

    I rub it into my underarms where the skin is thinnest. It just increases your T levels so more body hair starts growing, it’s not like rogain.

    It definitely works, I go into a 3rd party lab for a blood test every three months so I can see exactly where my hormone levels are at, they also test liver, blood numbers, and look for any cancer signifiers.

      Glad it works for you. Remote tele health is an actual doctor, right? As in, all the credentials, just not in-person appointment?

        Yeah it’s a real doctor, but it’s definitely a bit of a pillmill. They’re very eager to give you whatever you want.
