Notice the source is "The National Enquirer". I don't buy it, the guy has one great head of hair.

Avi8tor, Thanks for the information, I greatly appreciate it!

Gub, Hang in there. This forum is one of the best support groups you could ever ask for. There is some very informative information on this site. Lots of young guys are on here, myself included. Stay positive, and try to get yourself an consult with one of the recommended docs on this site.

Broker, I totally agree. It amazes me that something as serious as hair restoration surgery can be left in the hands of unqualified salesman. I understand the surgeon does the actual cutting, but I would never be comfortable unless the doc and I met one on one. Thanks for the input guys. I sincerely appreciate it.

Hello everyone! After lurking for several months and researching threads I decided to take the plunge. I'm currently 26 and have noticed over the past 3 years the hair at my temple region has been thinning and receding. A friend of mine in his early 40's had his transplant done by Dr. Pistone in Marlton, NJ. I made an appointment with the office and when I arrived I was disappointed that it wasn't the actual doctor, but a salesman who was going to answer my questions. I immediately scratched this doctor off my list! I have been classified as a Norwood II, and have a great donor area. My only thinning area is the temple region. My questions are as follows 1) Should I get on a Finasteride and special shampoo routine? 2) Should my primary care doctor be prescribing this or should I go see a recommended HT doctor? 3) I will post pictures at some point for critique, but my main concern is at 26 that if I had a transplant now what would my hairline be like in my 40's and later? 4) Any supplements I should add to my daily, weekly, monthly intake? I am really looking for a good NJ, NY, PA doctor that I can work with to help me along my path of hair loss. Thanks in advance!
