Hi Guys, I am trying to find more details in an around usage of Androanagen Tablets. It will be great if anyone on this forum has any experience positive/negative with them. I have used Finasteride in the past, however i don't want to use it for a continually long period due to its side effects. From what i have heard and read a bit around, Androanagen tablets have similar compounds and benefits that of Finasteride minus the side effects. Thanks folks. Hector

My vote goes to Dr Radha, hands down. She is very hands-on with all her patients, and to make sure it happens that way she undertakes only one operation per day, giving her complete attention. When i was evaluating my options, i was very impressed with my interactions with her, timely email/telephone calls, all questions answered and in detail. Even the smallest of my query was well answered putting to rest all my doubts about the Dr and the procedure. All this was even before i was scheduled for surgery/met her. When i finally met her for my surgery, it was an even more pleasant and satisfying experience. For once did i not feel anything amiss, in fact i wouldn't hesitate to say i felt that i was being operated upon by one of my very close friends/relative itself. To have this feeling is extremely gratifying, especially since hair transplant procedures have really caught up and there is a new clinic coming up in every nook and corner to rip patients apart. Dr Radha is not only very skillful in her art but she is there to build lasting relations along the way. Frankly there are many docs with good credentials, with Dr Radha you get talented doc plus a good person. And if you ask me that's a fantastic combination to have. I recommend her completely, you should go ahead and do a consultation with her and know for yourself. Take care and best of luck.

Ok great thanks for your responses mattj and teach77. That puts my mind to rest with respect to using baby shampoo for a longer duration. @mattj - Any good recommendations for hair oils with good dosage of Vitamin E that can be applied. I am thinking more from a regular maintaince perspective as well.

Hi Folks, I wanted to understand your opinion on what are thoughts around using baby shampoo immediately post HT for a week or so. Many HT docs suggest that. I have read some threads which mention that it does leave the scalp very dry. Does it just leave it dry for a while or it also hurts the implants. If this is the case what alternatives are tried/suggested. Thanks, Hector

Well, with "FUE-only" clinics i meant a global brand who do just these procedures but i cannot explicitly name them on this forum. Say my requirement is between 2000 to 2500 grafts, which procedure FUE/FUT will give me the best results. With FUT i think with recent improvements around the way the strip is sutured i.e. via Trichophytic closure the strip mark is almost not visible. Would like to understand more. Yes Dr Madhu is one of the best out here, however he has long waiting queue. I will have to wait at least 2-3 months before i get a date. Plus i am evaluating other options as well. If i dont find any better or equally good doctors i will wait for Dr. Madhu to get me a slot.

Hi Friends, I am 30 years old guy. I am looking forward to undergo a surgical procedure for HT. I have done some amount of research around various procedures and some of the surgeons. However i would like to understand your opinion/experiences with these. 3 procedures and i guess those are the only ones that i have found, 1. FUT 2. FUE 3. One "FUE-only" clinics which claim to be scar less. (I don't think that's possible, may be less scarring than normal FUE) After going through a bunch of discussion threads and blogs i think i can safely conclude that FUE is newer and more advanced procedure than FUT, plus the scarring is relatively less, though a little more costly. But i am open to opinions/suggestions if my understanding is wrong around this. Say for now we go ahead with FUE as the better suited procedure then if i have to compare normal FUE with the One "FUE-only" clinics, then i suppose the procedure by these "FUE-only" clinics is a little more advanced. However i would like to understand what are the pro's and con's between the FUE and "FUE-only" clinics procedures. I did an hair loss analysis with one of the doctor's, who recommended i would need about 2000 grafts for good coverage. At the same time he mentioned if i need to go FUE way then in a single session (4-6 hrs) i can get about 500-600 grafts, which then means i will need to undergo multiple sessions. So when i compare this with one "FUE-only" clinics, which i believe is an improved version of FUE and they claim to be able to perform about 5000 grafts in a single session. I don't understand if the base procedure is the same how can there be such is a big difference in what is achievable. Also i would like to understand what are specific differences between these 2 procedures FUE and one provided by these "FUE-only" clinics and whats the recommended approach to go with which gives the maximum results. I am scheduled for an consultation with one of this "FUE-only" clinic's in Mumbai this week. Will try to understand more about their procedure and the surgeon. However what i would like to know is if anyone in this forum has used the services of these "FUE-only" clinic's in Mumbai and has any experiences to share. Since procedure with these "FUE-only" clinics is pretty costly than the normal FUE, i want to be extremely cautious and be very sure about my hard earned money being well spent. Spending money is not an issue here, however i want to be guaranteed of the results. Also i would be more than welcome if there are recommendations around other procedures and surgeons in India who i can explore. Thanks in advance, looking forward from hearing from you. Hector
