Rahal is in Ottawa. Less than an hour from Toronto.

Thanks, I'll definitely look into it:)

Where do you purchase your stuff, Hariri?

You're referring to Fin, right? I'm yet to hear of any sides when using Rogaine. I could be wrong though.

Thanks for your replies, guys. On these forums I've read that the foam is preferable to the liquid. I'm well aware that I should probably combine Rogaine with Fin to get the optimal effect. I just don't want to put that stuff in my body.

Hi all, I had an HT to my front- and midscalp almost 6 months ago and it's coming in nicely. My crown, however, looks thinner and thinner with each look. I know that I will have my crown worked on, eventually, but in the meantime, I would like to use a product that will halt or slow down the thinning. Proscar and Fin is not really interesting for me. So I looked into Rogaine. I can get Rogaine Men's Regrowth foam 5% 3 month's supply for around 40 $ on Amazon. Does this sound like a good deal and the way to go about my thinning crown?

I got some papers from my doc. saying to wait 3 months before lifting weights, but when I asked him he said to wait a month and just take it easy. So I subsequently waited 2 months.

I totally agree and I'm not questioning the fact that money should not be the primary factor when choosing your doc. But I was under the assumption that all docs recommended on this site were top notch.

What if the price shopping was done within docs recommended on this site? That's the case with the doc I referred to in my previous post.

Just copy/pasted this. I believe this is as cheap as it gets. Dr. Palakurthi offers her high quality follicular unit hair transplant procedure to her patients at a highly reduced cost of one US dollar per follicular unit via the FUT method and two US dollars per follicular unit via FUE.

I don't think I had shed a single hair at two weeks. I started shedding at around four weeks. I remember that I was kinda hoping I wouldn't shed at all at that point, but now I don't really care, 'cause I know it will all grow back in a few months. I'm currently just shy of 7 weeks.

That op wasn't performed by Rahal. He had had two ops done by another doc prior to the last one by Rahal.

Great, you just answered what I wanted to know, thx. I guess a small scar won't be that bad if FUT gives the best result:)

Looking through lots of "real" pictures, I no longer believe I can get hair like George Michael in the 80's:P But I would like to know Why FUT would be best in my case. I realize I don't have alot of hair. Is it because density will be lower with FUE or just that it will be too expensive compared to FUT. The scars from FUT look pretty nasty in some cases if you ask me. I must have gotten FUE back when I got my HT 'cause I don't have a scar just some thinning where they got hair. Do all the doctors, BaldWhisky mentioned, perform FUE? And again, thanks everybody for helping me out. This place is awesome:)

Thanks, I'll make sure to look into the various doctors. However, I find it difficult to make up my mind based on pictures. I thought Armani's pictures were awesome, and apparently they're not really representative for all their work.

Well, not really. But I shaved my head very short a year ago and I noticed that it looked like I'd worn a cap for the past 20 years. People even asked me if I wore a cap.

Thanks for all your comments. I don't mind travelling to the states or Canada, I just really want what's best. Besides, Belgium is kinda boring, and I wouldn't mind making a trip out of it:) So far I've read nothing but good things about Rahal. Is he the best there is? His prices seem reasonable compared to Armani, but then again, I guess his prices would be higher with FUE, too. But you guys recommend FUT in my case, even if I have the money for FUE? Is the scaring bad?

Sure, I'll give it a try:)

Hi all, I had an HT in 2007. It was 2000 grafts and cost me 10000 euro. I hadn't done much research and I don't even know if it was FUE or FUT. All I know is that it's beginning to look bad. I'm probably what you would call a class 3 patient. I was about to set up an HT with Armani when I stumbled across this forum. Needless to say I got worried about my choice of doctor. They only perform FUE's and it would cost me 17500 $ for 3500 grafts. Reading this forum I began to wonder if I should find a new doctor since everybody was talking badly about Armani. And many people suggest that you get far better results with FUT rather than FUE. Is that true? Would you guys choose another doctor than Armani? If not, would you say that the price I'm paying is fair? I'm asking because I never see anyone posting any prices of their ops. I'm all new to this forum, so I would appreciate any help and guidance from all you oracles:) Best of luck, Niklas
