  1. Thank you to all who have replied those were some excellent suggestions and I will certainly make sure I get answers to them all in addition to my own queries. Fantastic I really appreciate your help guys. I have attached a few photos and i'm afraid my mohawk makes it a little difficult to properly see the level of recession of my hairline as i've only just recently shaved the sides and tops off fully, but I hope you can make it out kinda. Matt the Nizoral shampoo you mention, is this the dandruff treatment? Have other members had success with this and is there evidence it does block DHT? Couple washes a week with that would be preferable to using Alpecin every day. Also does anyone who has had FUE surgery have any info to give me on scarring? I'm still of the mindset that if everything goes tits up and i've had surgery, used products and my hairline receeded away from my transplated area i'd just whip the whole lot off. What kind of scarring are we talking about from the punch technique. I know they are supposed to be a lot smaller these days but if my head is going to look like a pepperpot where i've had the surgery then i'd never consider doing it. Are they visible to the naked eye if you shave down without a guard? Thanks again everyone, i've sent the same pics and queries to Mick at Farjo so i'm waiting on his response too at the moment.
  2. Hi everyone. I'm 28 with approximately a Norwood 2 considering FUE treatment with Dr Feriduni, Dr Farjo or the Harley Street Clinic. I say considering, i'm at the stage of arranging consultations and I just wondered if there was any advice people can give me with regards to what questions I need to be asking. I have had one consultation with Dr Shahmalak previously and was left distinctly unimpressed with his demeanour, attitude and available resources i.e. photographs. He was very keen to book me in as soon as possible so I thought sod that, anyone who seems overly keen to get my money is out of the question. Having browsed these forums for a while i'm keen to get your advice as there seem to be many of you with varying levels of success. Currently i'm on Rogaine Foam and Caffeine Shampoo twice daily, having discontinued the use of Finasteride due to some very unpleasant side effects. Whilst I intend on waiting to see if the Regaine stabilises my hair loss (taken it for 1 month on its own) I want to start putting the feelers out for a consultation. So what should I be asking of my potential surgeon? Ash
