Hi everyone I'm 24 and I've been on propecia for 6 months I've taken a photo of my scalp everday to see whether propecia works.No positive or negative change so far but premature graying of hair especially on sides.None of my 3 brothers who are above 30 don't have so much gray hair.I expect %70-80 graying when I become 30 with this speed.When I look at photos of 6 months ago, I had little white hair. My question is İs there anybody else who experienced this or is there any study that found the premature greying as side effect of finasteride. thanks

Hi guys, I've learned lots of new things about hair transplants thanks to this society so far and I have some questions which I'm seeking answer about strip procedures which I'm interested in 1-May Scalp laxity affect the quality of the yield? (I don't mean number of grafts) 2-Does thickness of scalp skin affect quality of the yield in any way? 3-Does scalp laxity decrease with each new surgery if patient's scalp is tight? (Will scalp become tighter with each successive procedure or Does it return to normal after several months?) 4-İf someone has more than one strip procedures , will his scar become larger with each new strip? or Do surgeons remove hairless skin with new strip? 5-İs number of strip procedures for a patient with very tight scalp limited compared to someone with loose scalp? ( İs 5x1500 grafts instead of 4000+3500 grafts possible? Any answer or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

your hair looks good to me , may be sides are bit thinner and you look very young for 6000 grafts.I wonder where were you on norwood scale before surgery.

Excellent result !

I was wondering the same thing.There is still hair on my temples and frontal third.My originial hair color is brown but these remained hairs are finer and yellowish colored.İf I lose these hairs because of transplant I'll return to where I started in the end.this really scares me.I dont want to accelerate hairloss

wow! this is amazing ! congrats !

%90 scalp hair+%10 pub. hair ? any hope?

I'm using nizoral %2 daily.happy with that

Dr. Bhatti, When I shaved my hair with a clipper, I see that some hairs are thicker and darker the others are finer and lighter in color.Are thicker ones anagen hairs? And suppose that you harvested anagen hairs, will ramaining hairs in donor area be as thick as harvested hairs in the future? And lastly Do you use motorized punch to harvest grafts? Thanks.

Will these hairs be dht resistant? İf not, I think hair transplants will remain as the only worthwhile solution to hairloss for me.

Hi JohnJohnB, Did finasteride lose efficacy after so many years? I'm in a similar condition but I'm 24 and started medication recently.I'm planning a hairtransplant in two years and dr path is on top of my list.I find your goal very achievable so I'll follow your case very closely. Good luck to you

I'm not expert but I saw Dr Tejinder Bhatti's good fue works in results page.you may want to look at his results

very good result.this is exactly what I want to do

my hairloss started when I was 15-16.it was very very agressive.I thought I would be totally bald NW6-7 when I become 25 .I was losing 250+ hairs a day.it was like raining hair then my hairloss slowed down and nearly stopped by itself .I'm now 24 and still between NW 2-3.there is miniaturization on top, little hairloss.I started finasteride 2 months ago.I dont expect to grow hair, just want to keep what I have.Frankly I dont blame Dr. Mohebi for what he did.Hairloss can even cause a teenager to commit suicide.At least it dragged me to deep depression which I couldnt recover until this age.I became an unsocial guy spending all his time on internet forums seeking help for hairloss.Even if this guy's hairloss evolve to NW6 in the near future, doctor is using his available donor reserve instead of waiting for him to be NW6 and ruining his life slowly and painfully.At least doctor gives him a chance to live with a hairline until he becomes 30...10 years later when he become NW6 with 3 prior HT surgeries this guy can grow some hair to thicken his sparse transplanted hair thanks to new stemcell treatments.

your hairloss pattern is similar to mine.I was said I have 6000-7500 grafts in reserve for fue and I'll need at least 2500 + ... for good density on the frontal third by some of the best surgeons in this site.but I'm a bulky guy and have big head so I think 2500 grafts would be enough for you

My hair was same when I first used nizoral thereafter it started to soften hair.I think it works

I'm 24 and you have more hair than I have.Eventhough your hairloss accelerated recently, I dont think your hairloss is very agressive.İf I were you, I would wait for a couple of years and see what's coming next.Stemcell treatments might save your hair 5 years later

Dear drnigam Thank you very much for detailed reply to my questions in the other post. As a hairloss sufferer at a young age, I'm very interested in your research so I have some more questions 1-İs stemcell treatment cheaper than traditional hair transplants? 2-İs it possible to use this treatment in every area of the scalp including temples? 3-You said beard is better beause it is thicker and it has got 2 DNA - Will beard originated hairs behave like normal hair and also contain multiple hairs like a normal follicular unit ? 4-Can stemcell treatment be used directly for facial hair ? instead of beard transplant 5-How do you determine the direction and angle of new hairs without seeing them? 6-Can this treatment be used on a healty but naturally sparse haired scalp just for thickening purpose? my english is not very good so if there's anything you've explained in your previous answers, you can ignore them Thanks

Hi drnigam, I wonder, 1-Do multiplied hairs evers fall out? Are they dht resistant? 2-Do multiplied hairs grow as thick as the native hair on the sides of head? 3-Why dont %70 of patients have no result ? Why doesnt your method work for some of the patients and work for the others?What's the reason for this? 4-Can you reverse a NW7 patient to NW1-2 with this method? 5-How many grafts can be implanted in one session or in multiple sessions? 6-Does this method damage existing follicles? Thanks

Hi everybody, I'm 24 and losing for hair 4-5 years.I'm a NW2 now and my hairloss isnt agressive but I know it will progress in future despite medicines I use so I'm planning a Ht surgery in the future may be when I become 30.I'm doing research about hair restoration surgeries.I know that both fue and fut have pros cons and I'll have to choose one of them.Here's my purpose I want to continue to wear my hair very short grade 1 so fue is best option for me.But in the same time I want to obtain max number of grafts from my limited donor area in case I need it in the future and this can be achieved by fut.I've sent my photos to some surgeons in this site and they said I need 2000 grafts to restore hairline. Here is my question : Can I ask my fue surgeon to extract grafts only from a specific linear area(or only from sides) leaving space for a future fut strip operation? İs something like this possible? or do Ht surgeons already do fue in this way? Do they randomly use the donor area making potential fut op. impossible? Thanks

Hi blitzjik Thanks for your advice.I'have'nt seen doctor yet but I'm going to set an appointment soon with a good plastic surgeon .I'm obsessed with my gynecomastia too and I dont even want to go outside because of this.Until this year, I didnt know that gynecomastia can be removed and I'm so happy to learn that it can be removed easily in an hour.My biggest concern now is about my hairloss and facial hair problem.I'm considering to try minoxidil for both hair and beard after consulting an Endokrinologe and see the results then .

THANKS Future_HT_Doc I'll see a doctor soon

Hi guys, I heard that Merck stopped producing proscar? Do you know anything about that? I cant efford propecia so this is important for me. Thanks.

Hi guys, age 25 As in the title I have hair loss, gynecomastia and little facial hair.I have to fight them all in the same time.Today I started to take 1/4 proscar for my hair loss.I'm losing hair since 18 years old.I'm a norwood 2 now but headed for a norwood 4a .Before 7 8 years ago I was a handsome, full of life guy but now I can say that I'm in deep depression because of this situation.So Can anybody say something about my situation?What's wrong with my body? Low dht? high dht? low testesterone? ?????? what's wrong ?I'm 6'3 210 lbs healty guy but why all of these happening to me? What am I doing wrong?How can hair loss and lack of facial hair happens in the same time?Can finasteride worsen my facial hair status since it reduces dht in my body?Gynec. isnt proglem.A plastic surgeon can remove it.but baldness and lack of facial hair ruining my life. I have 3 brothers 1.(age 31)NW 4A with full beard 2.(age 28)NW 2 with little facial hair 3.(age 29)NW 0 with full beard my dead (age 60) NW3 with full beard Thanks in advance
