Yeah I just started taking finasteride a few months ago and I havent felt any sides yet. I do exercise regularly with gym and soccer, I diet pretty strictly as well which may be a good thing in terms of side effects.

 

Yeah well I would more say that zidane is a good looking character haha.

He is man, but if you remove his hairline completly he would still look good but not as good.. Hairline frame your face and does not make your forehead big as hell and shiney

Hi guys,

I was trying to order rogaine foam from amazon, but i found they have many rogaine foam items there that have slight diffrent descreption and even diffrent rating, for example:

One says : Rogaine for Men Hair Regrowth Treatment, Easy-to-Use Foam

While other says: Rogaine for Men Hair Regrowth Treatment, Extra Strength Topical Solution.

And some just don't mention easy-to-use nor extra strength, and even their package is kinda diffrent.

Is there any diffrence between those in anyway and if so, which one is the best, sorry if that sound like a stupid question, but this is my first time ordering this, and i just found it weird that same site sell same items with somehow diffrent descreption, packaging, and even rating.

Appreciate your help..

Also he had his hair really short from the sides and back. I guess his scars are really minimal.

They say propecia and rogaine best work together. Rogain helps also yo maintain your nativve hair in a diffrent way than propecia, and if it works for you it makes your native hair thicker and grow some hair.

As i read, rogaine works best on the crown and it's not that affective on the hairline.

I was told rogaine foam is much easier to apply than the liqued one and it drys really fast, and many HT doctors say that applying rogaine only once aday is enough and will give the same result, so you might consider to apply it at night before you sleep and then you shouldn't have an issue with toppik.

I think if you are taking then you can go without rogaine but if you are not taking propecia then it's better to use rogaine to try to maintain your native hair as long as possible.

In my case, since i will not be taking propecia because of the possible sides, im planning to start on rogaine foam once aday (at night) after i have my HT.

Aim4hair,

 

He was classified as a NW6 but his crown was a bit smaller than the crown on a typical NW6.

That is amazing. I didn't know a NW6 can be transformed like that..

What they say is that it decreases the collagen which is somehow the thing that keeps the skin young. Hell, i dom't even know what collagen is. But i read those reported sides on so many places..

Hey All,

Im panning to start using Rogaine Foam. However, i was reading about it online and so many people (both men and females) seem to talk about how this stuff, ages your skin, gives you dark circles under eyes, and wrinkles...

is there any truth to that ? it honestly does not make sense to me but it seems like everybody is talking about it....

Please let me know your experience.....

cimborm,

I hope other health professional give you some openions here.

one thing you might have to consider, as you know even if propecia woks for you, you have to take it on a daily basis for life. so in case you were tying to make a family, then you should quit it at leat a month in advaned to be in the safe side and then again around 9 months during your pregnancy, i would guess during that time you might lose most of the hair you gaied with propecia which will be devastating

Good luck with whatever you decide.

where are the pics ?

Thanks all.

To be honest, that was my thoughts regarding HST at the beginning.

But after doing some research, i see that the whole concept about HST is the re-growth of donor hair since not all the follicle would be removed if this is the case (Even if the re growth is weak and not as the original one) then it makes sense not to have scars, since FUE white dot scars are located in the places where the follicle are removed completely. im not certain if this technique as good as it sounds, but if it's a scam i believe the business would have already been shut down since it's been operating on different countries for like 4 years based on the re-growth concept and it's even done on high profile people, so if it's nothing but a scam i would think their business would be closed by now already.

having said that, i still think with HST, the recipient hair does not grow as thick as with other existing procedures (FUT, FUE), so i don't think this procedure can replace FUT or FUE, but it could be a valid option for those advanced cases where people just looking to buzz and have a hairline.

just like dean saunders, who is a nw6 who went through HST to have a hairline that frames his face and according to the updated videos and interview with him on their site, he still shaves his head down to 0 (which i guess he wouldn't do if he got visible scars) and he has a hairline (even though it's too high, but still better than nothing for a nw6 case).

again im not expert when it comes to HTs but the fact that HST is done on many famous people as well as regular people (there is a big waiting list for this procedure) and some with very high baldness patterns (like dean saunders who might never get a full coverage but at least his face is framed now and he still shaves as he used to do before HST) and their business is still going and expanding, then it's likely not a scam.

Any thought here ? Im not just talking about HST, im talking in general, if any clinic promised you in written that you will have no scar no strip nor white dots or anything, and then you go for the HT and you end up getting scars, do you have the right to sue them ?

Btw im not only talking about scars im talking about any wrong promise that is easy to deduct and prove wrong..

It's alright bro everything will be fixed with a qualified dr.

Btw even Melike is specialized in FUT not FUE. The only dr. I will consider in turkey to do FUE is dr. Keser.

good luck with your next step!!

Once you find out let me know as well. The only problem is, because its a new technique would he garauntee he can execute it safely and with desired results?

Yeah if its end of 2013 I dont think I could wait either. Cant buy back time! Im only 23 but still I feel this is the time for me to be out there.

 

Honestly I cant believe HAIR could have dented my confidence so much. Why arent you on any meds though?

Im about to start a family and im afraid of the sides, i could be wrong though but i beleive the continues usage of any drug will create sides if not now then it could be in the long term And it's not like a risk you take for a short time and you done. Those meds have to be taken for life.

Im fine with the buzz cut down to grade 0 , all i really wanna do is frame my face with no scars and then if i start losing more native hair ill keep my hair buzzed to 0.

There is a football player called Zidan, he has a weird kind of natural balding where he still has his hairline (V shape) but he's totally bald from the crown and he keeps shaving his head and still looks 100 time better than regular bald dudes just because he still got his hair from the front (even though it's not like he has the best hair line or something but it suits his age)

You can find his pic in this link:

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__DaEALZWZUk/S_EftFpJxYI/AAAAAAAAEFs/8EPZcCwt98E/s1600/Zidane3.jpg

Yeah that is the biggest issue for me to be honest. Not too concerned about the crown area as it isnt that bad but I really want to frame my face again!

Gone are the days when i would actually ask the hairdresser to frame my face with the razor blade lol! how depressing.

 

Although there is a potential for scarring, is it possible to recieve no scar or very minimal?

 

I just had a look at that, seems amazing if it comes to fruition. But are you willing to wait until 2013?

Im trying to contact dr. Wesley to see when hes expecting to have this out exactly, if it's end of 2012 or beggining of 2013 it might be worth the wait but if it's not clear when it will be out which might be end of 2013 or even after that, i dont think ill be able to wait.

Then i might either go for HST (gho procedure) if i gurantee that there will bo no scars at all as they claim, or go with regular fue knowing that grade 2 or 3 would be the shortest i can cut my hair.

I really wanna frame my face so bad man..

Hello All,

I just got a quick question, if you go for an HT and the clinic gave you some promises (written) and then they turned out to be wrong, do you have the right to sue them ?

For example let's say a clinic told you that there would be no scars at all (i mean at all) and then you end up getting visible scars, do you have the right to sue them ?

My question is because i was reading about HST procedure where they tell you it leaves no scars at all (totally scarless) but some people on ther forums (who never did HST btw) say that this is a lie and HST leaves scars. Then my question is if it really leaves scars and HST is been there for around 3-4 years in like diffrent countries (3 to 4 countries) then how come there are no lawsuits against them and they still have their business and even expanding to diffrent countries (they are planning to open new clinics in 2 new countries) ?

I mean i understand some clinics promise a yield growth rate that might not be right but this thing is hard to deduct, but the SCAR thing is so visible and easy to deduct.

Please let me know what you think.

I have been reading alot about HST lately and i beleive that it is a scarless HT. you get the benefit of having no scars or atleast no visible scars where you can shave down to grade 0. However, Based on many results i saw the hair in the recipient area does grow as well but not as thick as other results of FUE and FUT. thus, i. Think HST. would be perfect for those who wants to sport the buzz look and wants to keep their hair as short as possible with a decent hairline. But for those who never wanna sport that look and wanna keep the hair long, then scars don't really matter and they can go for FUE or FUT.

That is the main issue I am having too. From what I have researched most doctors are good in making a natural appearing hairline, only concern is the scar!

 

 

That's only thing stopping me at the moment

Same thing here, i really wanna frame my face so bad and then if i keep losing my hair (baldness is progressive and unpredictable specially since i will not be taking drugs) i would like to buzz my hair as short as possible like to 0 grade or maximum 1, then my face will be framed. But with fue if you go that short ull still get those white dots.

Dr. Wesley mentioned in his website that soon he's coming out with new totally scarless procedure :

Scarless Hair Transplantation by Carlos K. Wesley, MD

Thing is im not sure when this will be available.

HST (gho procedure) is another option where they claim it leaves no scars at all since the donor hair will grow again.. But i cant find enough information and results about HST, since it's new approach that is not followed by anybody other than dr. Gho.

Keep us updated with your research. Good luvk

I just had a look at the results by Dr Umar and they seem ok. The results put up by Dr Meshkin are mind blowing! They are amazing nearly every single one of them. Have you had a procedure done yourself?

I didnt have one yet but im doing my research and planning to do one hopefully soon.

I might do mine with Dr. Keser in turkey for FUE or i might do the HST instead since im planning to keep my hear buzzed and want to avoid scaring which seems to be possible with HST.

if you looking for FUE in california, Dr. Umar is pretty good and he is one of the recommended doctors in this site.

Why would you say he is wearing a wig? To me it an amazing transplant but that is my opinion.

Where did he do his HT ?

Are you going for FUE or FUT ?

any time man. actually im in the same boat regarding propecia, i don't seem to get the courage to start it yet.

What concerns me the most is the fact that once i start, i have to take it for life, and who kows what could happen as a long term side effcts. Plus the sexual sides is what scares me the most, specially that i am about to start a family and i read on my places that even if you don't develop sides you should stop taking propecia a month before traying to have a baby (some say you do not have to, it's just a controversial issue).

Anyways, please keep me posted, and i hope i can make up my mind as well pretty soon, either go for the pills or just decide not to and stop thinking about them because im sick of reading and thinking about starting them all the time.

I've seen many perfect FUE results on a par with FUT. you just need to find the right doc.

Another doctor to consider is dr. keser in turkey.

Btw, did you make up your mind regarding propecia ?
