Hi guys, I've just become a patient with the Belgravia centre and I'm awaiting my first lot of treament. I will be taking Propecia & Minoxidil. However after looking deeper into the treents I've noticed alot of users say that while their crown has regrowth or has stopped balding, their hairlines have not? I do not suffer from a balding crown but my hairline is slowly receeding as well as thinning on the sides.

Is there any happy ending to this?

Generally finasteride is less effective in the frontal regions and works better in the crown and middle scalp region for maintaining and potential regrowth.

Some people have stated they have had regrowth in the front but this is quite rare if you read and research enough.

Finasteride is the better of the two FDA approved medications but in conjunction with minoxidil, this the best form currently available of non-surgical treatment available to use to fight male pattern baldness.

These can help slow down the process of balding and in some cases halt it completely.

Baldness is progressive in general so surgery is the best way to recover lost hair in the front.

Thank you. Does anyone know on average how much surgery is? & is it avaliable in installments?

This is one of the best outcomes for propecia that I have found in the frontal region from True and Dorin which I have posted before but this is not common and quite rare, so surgery is more than likely necessary to regain your lost hair.

Depends on what procedure you decide to have and how many grafts are recommended for your individual case.

Read the major forums and educate yourself first for a signiciant period of time before you make any decisions regarding potential surgery.

I've had some decent regrowth in the hairline but the area was so shot it's never going to recover to what it was. However, some rare cases have been seen where minoxidil has been particulalry effective in the hairline.

I will message you a link to another forum showing an amazing reaction (I don't think I'm allowed to post external links to rival forums).

Just as a ball park figure, most HTs are around the GBP10,000 mark, but it depends on the amount of coverage and density you want. Going overseas you could expect to pay about GBP3000-8000 depending on whether it is a small or large session.

Financing is up to the individual to sort out, e.g. cash, credit card or bank loan!

Thanks guys you've both been very helpful! I'm fortunally still at a stage where a lot of people are arguing that I do not have any hair loss. It seems I'm still the only one who has noticed. Hopefully I can see a good improvment as it's been caught early?

Thanks again.

you need to post some pics so we can see if you have any hair loss

Ill get on to it.

Photos up.

I'm a Belgravia patient too. Their products really helped me restore much of my hair, though my hairline was far worse gone than yours so after 2 years and 4 months I've had surgery on my hairline.

With the medication though you should be fine, since you're at such an early stage of loss.
