  1. Dr Moore in St Louis, however the tech did the whole procedure. She said she'd been doing it for 8 years
  2. What would be my next step? I paid for 1000 and get 500, is their a way to tell for sure?
  3. Hi Guys, I'm weird that I only have hairloss in the crown, my hairline is pretty normal and doesn't bother me. Yesterday I had 1000 FUE. The procedure took about 6 hours. One person performed the whole procedure. I'm curious on what you guys think of the job. I'm know expert but the grafts seem a bit too spread out, and to my eye it looks closer to 500 grafts (I paid for 1000). Again, i'm def no expert. Thanks for feedback. I can continue to post pics if anyone is interested. Below pics are the day following the surgery
  4. Hi all, I had 1000 FUE yesterday in my crown. The whole procedure took about 6 hours (including harvesting and transplanting). I'd be interested to see if anyone with more experience thought the job looked good. To me it looks like their arent 1000 grafts and they look a bit to spread apart - but i'm not an expert. Thanks in advance
  5. 2 scientific studies have investigates the use of fin and minox. In both studies it was shown that using a combo was significantly better than using one alone. If you're going to just use one then use fin. Minoxidil isn't really all that great when you look at the numbers, but certainly helps
  6. Oh...one final point. Why are you buying proscar anyway? Just buy a generic finasteride or get a script from your dr
  7. John, I'm afraid i misunderstood what you meant. I didnt realise you meant that the drug was randomly placed actually in the pill. I thought you meant within the packet, i.e. some pills are only 1 mg and some are 5 mg. I would imagine it's not true anyway. Knowing what i know about drug development, it would be way more hassle than it's worth and probably impossible. Pills aren't just empty space with drug sprinkled throughtout; pills have many other ingredients to stablise the drug and improve its bioavailabilty. Maybe i was a bit strong on the DO; but he really should go back to his pharmacology classes. BTW, just because it's written in some article doesn't make it true.
  8. I think the problem here is that most people do not understand what 'half life' is, nor does the lay-person have any idea about drug pharmacodynamics or pharmacokinetics. I agree that the drug will stay in your body for several days, however it will most likely be at a sub-clinical dose. I do not understand why anyone would not take propecia everyday , as indicated. Unless they have experienced side-effects.
  9. i disagree with dr lindsey. This is very exciting news and follows logical progression of what is currently being learned in basic lab science. Already there are companies taking cells from people at a young age, freezing them with the intention of re-tranplanting them when your face is old and wrinkly. 5-10 years this stuff will be on the market BTW: PHD - Genetics - Cambridge
  10. did you consider that they may have gone away cos he doesnt have enough drug inhim?
  11. no studies have been conducted on every other day dosings. The half-life of finasteride is hours, so the guy is talking bollocks
  12. whomever told you that they were placing 1 mg randomly in pills is a fool. That is totally illegal. Can you imagine somone expecting to get 5 mg and only getting 1???? MAJOR law suit.
  13. Please Grow Please Grow. I'm afriad it is the guy you are talking about. I have cancelled my HT. Not sure i will get one considering the cost and continual financial black hole. Curious as to why you said this surgeon is so bad????
  14. from what i heard, the comb has only been FDA approved as being 'safe' no studies showing it causews hair growth

    thank mmhce I just did a quick search and found duta tablets at http://www.inhousepharmacy.com/hair-loss/dutas-h.html These seem to be the cheapest I could find. Anybody know if this is legitimate? Or how one could find out if it is?

    Hi Guys, I thought i would make a post here. Im a scientist and i looked up the originsal paper that compares finasteride and dutasteride. The study compared increasing duta doses from 0.05 to 2.5 mg with 5 mg finasteride. At first I was wondering why they compared it against 5 mg finasteride since propecia is only 1 mg. However, other studies have shown no difference between 1 mg and 5 mg finasteride(for hair loss) - so i guess it doesnt matter. They also point out that their 5 mg results were similar to 1 mg results published in another study. Anyhow, the results show that 2.5 mg duta is significntly more potent than 5 mg finas. The study was limited to 24 weeks. Thus, if you're considering trying dutas and are worried about long-term effects it might be worth limiting your usage to 24 weeks to see if it makes any difference. If it does, then i guess its upto the individual to determine if they will continue treatment. My only concern would be where to get the duta. Internet sites are not regulated and could be sending you any old placebo pill. That would be my concern BTW, the link to the paper abstract is below http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pu...anel.Pubmed_RVDocSum
  18. thats what im thinking. i wish i researched this before i put my money down
  19. it is a PAI guy and i have already put down a 1K deposit
  20. Is this a good technique to use. Also, anybody ever used Jeffrey Waesche?

  22. Did you get your propecia from a pharmacy, or online? Generic or real propecia?
  23. All grafts are going in the crown since thats the only hair loss area. Also, i dont mind receding too much, i just hate having this 'thing' behgind me all the time. The surgeon is Jeffrey Waesche and he works for PAI medical group. Any ideas if he is any good. Thanks for your responce
  24. Dear all, Im 30 yo with a normal hairline but a balding patch on my crown. I'll be having a HT in a few weeks but im concerned about a thing: The clinic say that the receiving area should look ok since i still have hair there. However, im concerned about the scar. I have good, thick, donor hair. My question is, assuming i have reasonable length hair, how long after the surgery will i be able to conceal the scar? I was hoping to go back to work after about 5 days and not have detectable surgery. Thoughts? thanks in advance PS, i have been on propecia and minoxidil for a few years. Seems to have prevented any further thining.
