Sorry I have been unable to get back online to respond until today. Thanks to everyone for their input and responses. I might try the WEN Tea Tree Oil first so thanks for that suggestion.

I started using Wen Tea Tree Oil a year after I started using Rogaine.

When I used Rogaine on my hairline, it caused my hairline to recede further, due to shedding. I stopped using it on my hairline and just used it on my edges. Now there was a gap between my edges and my hairline.

I use Wen Tea Tree Oil on the gap every other night and on my entire head the night before I cleanse.

That gap is filling in, to the point where my stylist asked if I wanted it shaped around my face!

As for the rest of my hair, like with Rogaine, the new hairs are growing in fine and downy. If my hairline is any clue, they will thicken up over time.

Get your flu shot...because I didn't.

mustbuyless, I wanted to let you know the Professional 12 model is the one I bought from QVC last January. I'll bet it's just out of stock right now and will be available again. It's more expensive than the others but, from what I've read, just takes a little less time to use because it covers a larger area. And that model did come with a 4-month supply of their brand of Minoxidil, which is why I'm using it along with the HairMax. That's definitely what they recommended so I'm sticking with it, although when the same guy is selling the other models that don't come with Minoxidil, he doesn't mentioned the need for it! ${#emotions_dlg.crying}$

I would keep watching QVC--like you, I bought it from them because of the easy returns. In fact, I had bought one a couple of years earlier and by the time it came in, I was convinced it wouldn't work and didn't even open the package--just sent it back. So I knew the easy returns worked! I'm sure glad I did open the package this time and used it!

Keep us updated about your results.

I'm back--I just checked and the Professional 12 model is in stock now, item number A332270. It doesn't look like it comes with Minoxidil any more (from my quick scan of the description).

I would probably wait until January because I'll bet it will be a TSV again sometime soon--they always have lots of personal improvement products around the first of the year. I saw it last year when it was the TSV and, not realizing that was the case and very busy that day, waited until the next day to order and paid around $80 more than the previous day! But I'm very happy I made this purchase!
