Hello everybody, I think this forum is great. I've begun my journey to conquer hair loss. I've started taking propecia and I look forward to seeing some positive results

Marky,

Welcome to our community.

I have found that it is best to chart your progress with monty pictures. Be sure to take pictures of your hair loss condition now and then monthly for comparison purposes.

We'd love also for you to post your monthly progress pictures on this forum.

Best wishes,

Bill

Wow it's a lot worse then I thought. I didn't know the crown was this bad. I just hope Fin can bring back what time has taken away from me. Anyway this is week 1 of Fin. I'll take new pics once a month and let you guys be the judge.

I'm definitely getting a HT in Spring. I'm going to see Dr. Seager and Dr. Jones. I appreciate any feedback on these two doctors.

A propecia journal that is a good idea. Have not seen one of these on here ever. This will be interesting.

Marky,

Often times we don't see the top of our heads, so taking pictures from the top really shows the reality of the situation.

Stay on propecia for at least a year assuming you aren't experiencing any side effects to see if it, at the very least, slows down or stops your hair loss, and hopefully regrows hair.

For your information, Dr. Seager has sadly passed away. See more on this story here.

When selecting a hair restoration physician, be sure to select among those who have a proven track record of consistent positive patient results. I recommend our Coalition physician who have a stellar reputation for performing first-class hair transplant results.

Best wishes,

Bill

Wow I had no idea. That is sad indeed. So it looks like he's been replaced by another doctor. Dr. Mckenzie. So what are the opinions on Dr. Mckenzie?

Mark,

You can read our Publisher Pat Hennessey's review of Dr. McKenzie by viewing (Tour of leading hair transplant clinics in Ontrario Canada).

See also hair transplant photos from Pat's visit with Dr. McKenzie.

I hope this helps.

Bill

What a wealth of information. This site is unbelieveable. I'm going to visit Dr. Mckenzie and Dr. Robert Jones. Since they are close to my home and come highly recommended. I'll make my decision after the consultations.
