    Yes absolutely satisfied if I hadn’t of acted when I did I would be completely bald up top now. I may at some point have another procedure, but I’m in no rush as I no longer really think about it these days.

    Hi guys have been away for some time now. But finally got round to having my crown and temples done on 10/7/14. Over two yrs since my last ht. All three procedures carried out by Dr Marwan Saifi am- med Wroclaw Poland. These pics were taken by me on my phone shortly after the procedure in the hotel. 1200grafts taken 800 in crown region and the remainder in the temple area.

    Hi empirestate Just seen your post, I've been a patient of Dr Saifi for almost 4 yrs now. Any questions feel free to msg me, check out my pictures. I'll post some more in the new year.

    Hi just looked at your link, and yes not much to go on with EHR. Couldn't find a gallery. Maybe post a thread on here asking for any happy patients of EHR. Checked out the photos on the Private Clinic and yes Dr Reddy's work looks good. If you are really thinking of using Dr Reddy, again search for happy clients of him on this forum, and pester them with Q&A's. Don't ever be afraid to keep asking questions, whoever you choose it has to be the right Dr for you. I've seen many horror story's due to being to eager and picking the first clinic that comes along. So take your time and research! There are many very good Dr's out there who aren't on this site. Regards Tony.

    Hi punkrocker You've made the most important step by joining this network, well done. Like jonnyboy71 said get some pics on here. As far as meds are concerned, they really only work in the crown and midsection. So if it's your hairline which is the issue, ht procedure is really your only option. Like you I was an Norwood 3 when I started my ht journey 3yrs ago. Advice, ask! And asked again and plenty of research. The more positive reviews you get, the easier it gets to make a decision. Feel free to ask any questions. Regards Tony.

    4 months! Your most definatly a fast responder looking great already, you still have another 14 months till it fully matures.

    I say 18 months because that's generally how long it takes for a ht to fully mature. I'm half way there so I won't judge it until then. My wife noticed very fine sprouting at around 12 weeks, that is when I started on the minoxidil again but with the shock loss in the surrounding ht area plus the shock loss in the transplanted region and the added shedding due to the use of minoxidil. I decided to stop using it so I'm just on the finastride now which I'm much happier with.
  12. theportchesterpirate
    It's hard to put your finger on it really, but all I can say it's much slower. I'm at 8.5 months and even though I have coverage in the crown there's no real density. I'll wait till around 18 months till it's fully grown out then re-address it. I had a lot of work done from in filling the hairline, through the bridge and the crown. So I'm guessing I may have to have one last procedure to concentrate on the crown. That's the problem when anyone who goes down the HT route your in to get the desired result, whether that means one procedure or three, four etc.
  13. theportchesterpirate
    1mg daily propecia and 5ml twice a day minoxidil. I've been on this for two years now with no side affects.
  14. theportchesterpirate
    Get on propecia and minoxidil right away man, the propecia will block the DHT'S from shrinking the hair follicle's. So you will keep the hair you still have, and in time you may get some new growth. The minoxidil will encourage new growth, you may experience new growth within 4 months with the minoxidil. But you must continue using the propecia. I don't know of any natural or herbal treatments that actually work,
