I just had an appointment with dr Greg Williams from Farjo. Had to walk out of it after a few minutes, after saying I’d sent info and my records were on file he said he asked me a simple question about my hair history and why don’t I answer. Got bad vibes and I was on time for the appointment but was kept waiting in an empty room for 25 minutes this is all after trying to manage mick the patient coordinator and his emails, he’s like the worst receptionist at the gp so negative and unhelpful and he actually emailed me before the appointment to say they send all unsuitable hair candidates to dr Williams which set off alarm bells

I was so freaked out reading your account of what you’ve been through, sounds like a nightmare in that everything they could do wrong they did both the betrayal by your friend and the “dr” who has behaved totally unprofessionally and egotistically I might be seeing dr Williams - do you have any feedback or have you heard of any research on him? I can’t find anything online apart from his speciality was burns although being connected to farjo should be a good sign best wishes to you james

Thanks for sharing and for advice. I feel that Farjo also go on the conservative side as a policy which seems to assume that density will be maintained, i would prefer the best result possible obviously. Been to their Manchester clinic and wary of any clinic that has a Harley st office I contacted the Thailand physician from here a few times, heard nothing back. Researched the doctors you mention, they all seem elite and I’d heard of one from my previous research 6 years ago. Think this is going to take some time to make a decision, really appreciate your help and hope all is well with you

So this is quite a long story but I had one procedure in 2014 and I’m still happy. The issue is I was on proscar which stopped working so I switched to finasteride and got chest pain/mood swings. So basically I’m off medication for good and from the procedure before a little bit of work was done on the crown centre but there’s patchiness around it. Contacted a physician in Belgium who I found quite rude and told me he wouldn’t consider consulting with someone not on medication. Was off medication about a year ago. can anyone recommend a physician who would do a top up in the crown area? Thinking of farjo or possibly Thailand. Emailed both over the weekend and not heard anything yet. Thanks guys

i keep hearing this propacil is better than minoxidil (stronger) and has undergone clinical trials https://www.rekze.com/minoxidil-vs-procapil-watch-out-minoxidil-procapils-the-new-gem-in-the-hair-loss-battle/ anyone know anything? thanks

you can get argan oil shampoo that has around 15 natural dht blockers in the shampoo, have been using it for a week here and it seems to strengthen the hair too might be worth a try? there are also shampoos with vitamins, which avoid any gut issues obviously i hate to say it but i read somewhere that if you panic about sexual performance it can make something that might have been a one-off situation into something you panic and worry about which then makes the original physical problem worse as you're putting pressure on yourself. i wonder if you can talk to your girlfriend about your anxiety around it, and the medication, and take the pressure off

I contacted ferudini and he took ages to reply to my consultation email - maybe a month and then it was evident he hadn't read what I'd written.

I noticed recently that Dr Reddy has appeared on the new site and despite emailing their generic info email twice, i've received no reply am interested in hearing if anyone has tried their FUE on non-shaved hair and if they have had good/bad experiences. it sounds like their technique isn't as successful as traditional fue i just have an area of scalp that i'm troubled by, as i was given generic medication that seemed to stop/not work re:DHT. it's been a year on a different medication (proscar) but not much of an improvement generally, although definitely some improvement. it may be that i need to check on it again in a few months but keeping my options open/exploring thanks everyone

I've decided to stop taking these as they don't work as well as the branded type Just wondering if anyone wants a sealed sheet of them? Am in the UK Not sure if I should throw them away but seems a shame to do so and I don't want to mix with the new meds

Thanks foreverlacey No the generics are from a legit UK clinic I started off with a prescription and had a strong effect Am going to stop taking the generic and go on proscar and hope this will fix it Not sure what to do with the remaining generics now or if they've been having any effect recently for me

i hadn't heard of that, but i did wonder if my body had become tolerant in some way of the medication i saw dutasteride mentioned on another thread - i'm going to check that out as an option, thanks for your help Mikey

i've been on the finasteride for 3 years. it seemed to stabilise hair loss but in the last year or so it seems to have stopped working has this happened to anyone else? i think i was on a different brand for the first year (private prescription - gp) and then on the dr reddy stuff the last two years if anyone could perhaps give any suggestions or their own experiences it would be helpful. am thinking that it may also be personal stress due to some difficult times in the last year or so really not sure and my current GP won't be any help

the picture on the wall behind him reminds me of dr jack shephard in Lost! lol

great to read this, and hear how others are getting along!

Apologies for misunderstanding this sentence: "Slit making took another 1 hour and then I was given 10 mins break." I thought this referred to the strip incision or slit, but I can understand it's part of the FUE procedure. what are the health issues that the blood tests are for? what law?

you had strip (FUT?) what was the blood test for? looks like it'll be a great result! :-)

the pain and the blood on the pillows doesn't sound good... but the photos look good, wish you the best

Feriduni has been quiet on here since 2014 (?) i just did a search, has anyone got any updates? thanks

the map link for Spain shows dr devroye and not dr lorenzo (this must be a mistake?!)

i found this on the website just now, under fue technique. it sounds like they aren't technicians and are far more qualified than that. it's probably always worth asking directly to confirm "The extraction is carried out by our two surgeons, Dr. Lawrence and Dr.. Vila. Both have a specialist mining (TEF) to help them in this task."

no, Manchester. am pretty sure Dr Lorenzo did the extractions

i had my front hairline done 2 years ago with dr lorenzo and am still very happy with it, would recommend

well, i thought this was a very respectable clinic. this is the second random post i've come across this week after logging on, which has turned out to be shocking. i think it's great that dr Doganay has commented and put a reply. the comment about technicians dropping equipment and the risk of infections is worrying as well. i can understand that people don't want to take fin - it's not great, but it does work. however, it did make a difference to my hair miniaturisation and seemed to halt loss very quickly. anyway, what worries me most about this post and the other Feller post, is that there seems to be a serious issue going on about technicians? is there anything the moderators/owners of this forum can do about recommendations or price structuring - it seems to be assumed most of the time that if you pay a high rate, you will see the specialist for a full consultation and he will do the designing/structuring and the main part of the work? is there not some way to make the process more transparent in the recommendations/results pages?

Thank you Stig and MyFueBlog. Am now currently researching options with Dr Wong and Dr Lorenzo. Your replies have helped me think a bit more clearly about the best options.

hello everyone, i'm thinking about going for a second HT and getting some work done on the crown i'd be happy to travel to Europe (am in the UK) or possibly NY as i know i'm going to be there later on this year am looking for personal recommendations if possible, as i feel more unsure about this second procedure than the first (which i was very happy with incidentally) would also like to talk to someone about alternatives to finasteride, but this isn't the main focus thanks everyone :-)
