That’s what he sees in his practice, do you want him to lie. I really don’t get why people are so against oral minoxidil. I don’t think anyone said it’s a long term replacement for finasteride, or that finasteride doesn’t have its place. But oral minoxidil is a good option for those unwilling to take finasteride, and we know at least in the short term it give’s similar gains.

First of all, he said he switched from oral finasteride to oral minoxidil and saw no difference. What’s wrong with giving his own personal experience. I have been taking oral minoxidil for 6 months, and it’s a game changer. This is getting absurd. Oral minoxidil has been around WAY before finasteride. As a matter of fact, it started off as a blood pressure medication that had a secondary effect of hair growth. How on earth can anyone say there aren’t any long term studies. It’s the EXACT same drug as the topical, except oral. You guys need to stay off reddit. Here’s a study from 1987, is 30+ years long term enough. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0190962287700929

Damn it’s already growing like crazy

Wow this is insane. I'll be following closely, Dr. Pittella is definitely doing amazing things.

I'm glad you responded. I think that many are in a similar situation, shedding doesn't equal balding.

I suggest using our list as a starting point for research, send some consultations to many names there, ask for examples of cases similar to yours, then go from there. https://hairtransplantnetwork.com/best-hair-transplant-surgeons

Wow incredible results 👏🏼

Didn’t you create a thread a while back saying you were unhappy?

The question isn’t “do you want more hair” if that were the case no one would ever be satisfied. That’s why I’ve had 4 HTs. Seldomly do you ever see any HT patient get one HT unless they had minimal amount of hair loss.

Stunning 🤩

^This, at 10 days you’re experiencing the grafts shed. Here’s a video that might help.

Here’s a thread of someone who’s using Topical Finasteride and minoxidil. I don’t know good keeps is, but you can give it a shot.

Absolutely stunning

Looks really good from these pictures. Who did he go to?

@Gatsby Do you want to change your vote now 😁

Lets bump this and get more votes

Based on xyon studies, daily use of topical dutasteride changed serum DHT levels by only 10%. Of course, this with Xyon’s siloxysystem gel. I believe Farmacia Parati is the closest thing for those in Europe. There were no side effects reported in the study.

Your experiencing shedding? I haven’t experienced any, I’m also thinking of bumping it to 2x per week next week. What do you need edited? I’ll do it for you. Our problem area is almost identical.

They’re probably not going to dense-pack. It’s possible to lower it that much, but with 1,100 grafts the density will be low. You’ll probably want another procedure to add density. IMO better to get it dense-packed from the start and be done.

2,000 grafts sounds about right. That will also allow you to place grafts further back so that you won’t have any gaps as you lose more hair.

Can you draw where you want your hairline? It would have to be enough to match your native density which is quite high.

Excellent results 👏🏼👏🏼

I apply one dab, comb my hair parted and apply it in to the skin. I then comb my hair forward and rub it in to the crown. One dab covers my entire scalp. My head is small, so maybe that’s why.

Yes, shelf life is 120 days for dutasteride. That means that after 120 days the drug becomes less effective. By the way, many have complained about this lab on this forum. Buy at your own risk. The formula itself is good, but shipping has been an issue and tracking as well.
