Hi Matt,

On hind sight, yeah I shld be upfront on not wearing a cap. Well, damage cannot be undone unless I go for HT. So thats one thing to bear in mind. Maybe a year or so, all will be well. Thanks buddy.

Hi England,

Makes good sense. Now for that leap of faith.

You and Matt have provided grounded words of wisdom, I'm grateful to be in this forum reading this.

Dear Matt,

Thank you for your encouragement and you have very well articulated that teeny bit of scruple that is lodged in my heart. Sometimes, I could see the lyrics of the song, The space between by dave matthews band come to pass. Sounds like a damaging self fulfilling prophecy.

Appreciate your kind words brother.

Does it really work, learnt that that works for miniaturized hair. True?

Hi Jo, thanks for the insight, appreciate it

Just to add to that point. We are still not spared with agents who are charismatic and making empty claims. In this age there is this unregulated and untested market out there. Which is quite scary really. All I can say is, go see a specialist and get it accessed by professionals.

Hi Jotronic, pardon my ignorance here, but I got a question, understand that with each ascending norwood level, 1000 grafts are needed I'm now NW5, theoretically I will need 5000 grafts; will I have any chance to regain a hairline that I can style like a 20 year old?

Hi Maninspace, thanks for bringing it up, can anyone direct me on the forum thread on risks of HT? Many apologies if this looks like a wetblanket topic. I would like to keep myself informed too.

Travis.

Hi Icsulla, kudos to you for being candid and open about it! Thats an awesome attitude!

Just a question, does anyone of you use regaine foam on the scalp before applying the fibres? Will it defeat the purpose of using the foam in the first place?

Need to be pretty careful with the application spray, the key is to get it evenly distributed without appearing 'cakey'

Will it alright to use it immediately after the HT? I'm thinking of using concealers to go back to work.

Hi, i've been using the hair fattner so far and it did not give me any problems or increased hair fall.

Using the fattner first, application of toppik powder and finally the fixing spray.

Hi all, I've visited my dermatologist and was prescribed siteprox because I have an oily scalp, was told to wash my scalp using the product on alternate days during the week.

Is there anyone who is using this product?

Would like to hear your kind feedback.

Besides this I'm on propecia, rogaine foam, stieprox and a gentle cleansing shampoo

Hi oceanchild,

Thanks for responding, noted in that. Probably have to use toppik in the meantime

Pardon my ignorance here, but is this considered dense packing?

This is beautiful. Will all patients experience the same results in terms of dense packing performed by Dr. Rahal?

Hi there,

Thank you for your comments. Someone was mentioning to me that "stress can cause hairloss" that thought crippled me in someone sense.

Love this forum - great for proving truths.

Hi Dutch, many thanks for your comments and response, appreciate it - quite grateful for this forum here.

Along the lines of going through college, I'm not sure that can be attributed to genetics.

Hi all,

I'm doing my homework for HT right now, one query that I would like to ask - Does stress contribute to hairloss?

Just to add, how about creams that help prevent scar formation?

Hi guys, I've been thinking alot lately on my struggles with hairloss and this is the current struggle that I'm facing.

On love:

Met a girl, went on a first date few days ago and I wore my baseball cap, tee shirt and jeans. I casually explained to her its a dress-down friday at work so I'm allowed to wear a cap at work. To be honest, I feel really lousy inside, and eventhough we had some form of chemistry, I'm afraid that she will run away at the sight of my receding hairline. I'm pretty hesitant to reply her text messages now.

At work:

I've been following up closely on three main surgeons, Dr. Feller, Dr. Hasson and Dr. Wong. Undoubtedly they have a proven track record as far as I'm aware of. However, I'm wondering, how do you guys cope during a post op period? I'm thinking of quitting my job and living like a hermit for at least a year before I can face myself.

Its mind boggling really.

Dear all,

What happens when shedding of transplanted hairs happen? Are we back to square one?

I noticed that a member has encountered shedding (Hair Restoration Journal -Day 31), however he has encountered positive results at the end of the year.

Can I safely say that HT is 100% successful eventhough there is a visual appearance of shedding? Or is this the inherent risk involved?

Beautiful!
