This is the second thread bringing up this doctor. I’ve never heard of him. Hard to judge his results from instagram. Was he trained under a specific doctor?

This ad came up on my feed. I’ve seen so many hair transplant results, that this to me, looks like ugly duckling vs. 12 months post-HT. What do you guys think?

Have you contacted some of the Indian doctors recommended by our forum? I suggest using our list as a starting point. https://hairtransplantnetwork.com/best-hair-transplant-surgeons

It’s always best to research yourself. We’ve compiled a list of the best surgeons based on reviews posted on this forum. Now I suggest you submit some consultations and use our list as a starting point for research. https://hairtransplantnetwork.com/best-hair-transplant-surgeons

Pewdipie is that you lol I kid. Glad you came back man. I know you had a lot worries years ago. Glad it looks good years later.

Great results, can’t wait to see how the crown will turn out. He has good hair thickness.

I’m not that young, I’ll be 38 this year. Now that I’ve started on topical dutasteride. I feel fairly confident I’ve lost the hair I was gonna lose. The dut should help with some regrowth.

It was great, I got in through a medical visa. I wasn’t scared at all. The food was phenomenal. The team makes you feel very welcomed.

Not really, it’s a little cheaper. But in terms of serum DHT reduction. Dutasteride reduces systemic DHT 3x less than finasteride. So anyone worried about sides would probably rather be on the dutasteride. It sounds counterintuitive to recommend the stronger drug. But because the siloxysytem gel and the molecule weight, Dutasteride barely absorbs systemically. That said, I’ve used the topical fin for a month with no sides.

They’re excellent surgeons. I like Dr. Cooley in particular for your case, check out this repair from him

Looks incredible 👏🏼

I would not shave my head again. I think it would be fairly easy to transplant in between my hair. I shaved my head because I was increasing density all over my scalp, this time around it would be only in one spot. I would love to stick with Dr. Sethi, he is one of the best, but traveling to India is tough for me at this moment given I have a newborn son. I know you shouldn't let location matter, but idk that's a tough one.

Thank you for creating. I will be sharing my own photos shortly as a baseline.

I got it from XYON I switched to their topical dutasteride this week. Below is a post from their patent studies. It’s super impressive. So average ranges of DHT range from 0.38 to 3.27 nmol/L. Just so we understand. Ok so after reading the results. This is how it’s broken down. Table 9 is looking at serum concentrations by the hour on day 28. That’s why you’re seeing an increase in serum DHT levels. So 1 hour after application the DHT levels drop than go back up after a 24 hour-period based on this graph. But for some their DHT levels are higher after application and gradually decrease after a 24-hour period. This reflects normal day to day fluctuations of testosterone and DHT. The graph you want to look at is table 10 which tracks DHT serum levels from day 1 hour 0 (baseline) to day 28 hour 24. Graph 10 subject 1. He was 1.132 at day 1 0 hours or (baseline). On day 28 (24) hours, his levels were 0.981. A 0.151 difference, which equals 15.1%. That means his DHT levels decreased by 15% at the end of 28 days. Only three subjects saw an increase in DHT, which were both still low in the average range. Subject 6 started at 0.317 (below average range) by the end he was at 0.693. Slightly above the 0.38 average. Subject 8 baseline was 0.517 by day 28 he was 0.911. Subject 10 started off at 0.928 and ended at 1.118. Now if you look at these results at face value you might think, the dut made DHT increase. But I don’t believe thats true, to me, this looks like 3 subjects had no decrease in DHT levels. Their levels fluctuated, as they do normally without any medication. For some reason table 11 looks at day 1 4h as the baseline instead of day 1 0h. This skews things, you’ll see some participants levels decreased and some increased after day 1 4 hours, so it makes their increase/decrease look higher. If you look at the baseline day 1 0 hour. You’ll see the differences were negligible. Overall, the average decrease is around 10-12% depending on whether you look at baseline being 0 hour or 4 hours. This is WAY better than finasteride. No doubt about it. Its not even close.

Excellent results 👏🏼

Everything is healing nicely 🙌🏼

Wow another gigasession from Pittella. Can’t wait to follow your progress.

Watch this

Pretty big difference in the crown for 6 months 👏🏼

Tbh I don’t think I’ll add any more to the hairline. I feel confident from the front. If I do another I’ll concentrate 100% into the crown, which is my only area of concern left. Just started the topical dutasteride. I’m very excited, hopefully it thickens it up enough to where I don’t need another surgery.

I wish I didn’t have my first surgery, which was a total waste. C’est la vie. Live and learn, wouldn’t be here now had I done it right the first time lol.

I used the finasteride for a full month. I got zero side effects. I would say my sex drive increased a little bit, but that could be due to getting better sleep. Based on the studies though, dutasteride seems to be safer in terms of DHT reduction. If you compare the mean DHT reduction was 31% for Finasteride vs. 11% for dutasteride.

Dutasteride and finasteride have no effects on testosterone both total and free, so testing it wouldn’t make much of a difference. It only inhibits the 5-alpha reductase enzyme that stops the conversion of testosterone into DHT. It doesn’t in anyway inhibit testosterone production. Dutasteride has a long half life of 5 weeks. Most definitely one month of daily use is enough for it to accumulate and lower your serum DHT levels, especially at 2% which is equivalent to 20mg. It didn’t happen, which is what many speculated given the molecular weight. It appears to stay almost entirely local, with minimal changes to DHT levels after applying.

Well, you focuses solely on the crown. I’m sure you will have better density. I didn’t focus on the crown. Next one, if I get one will be solely in the crown.
