This is my first post to the forum. I never realized how many people are getting this done until I found this site. Now I don't feel so uncomfortable anymore. A little info about myself, I'm 36, a firefighter in NY and have been married 10 years. I first started getting thin around 25. I started using Couvre masking lotion and still swear by it. The problem is, you can only mask what ya have, right? So I did some research, found a dermatologist that specialized in this field and 4 months later had it done. I hope I get the results that some of you guys are getting. The waiting is gonna suck!! The best part is, I realize that it won't be as thick as it was but I'll use the Couvre as backup.

Dr. Ivan Cohen in Fairfield,CT did the procedure. 500 Fu's. Ones in the front and two's and three's beyond the hairline. I've read some good things and some bad things about him on this board but I must tell you, the professionalism he and his staff showed me was more than I expected. There were 4 nurses on hand to assist and all were professional and knowledgable. My only regret is that I didn't have more done at this session. He didn't think it was necessary considering the amount of hairloss. I'll wait it out and see. If I'm happy with the results, and think it looks good with and without the Couvre, then I'll leave it as is. If not, I'll go back for more. Hopefully the Propecia I've been taking for six months will work also.

Good luck to ya Truckie. Seems like with that amount of area you could have had more grafts. But I'm sure you will be an improvement. You can always go back for a second if necessary. Since he only did 500, did he use FUE method as opposed to strip?
