Dr Taleb barghouthi around 3040 grafts
Melvin- Admin replied to taza's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Looks to be progressing very nicely 🙌🏼 -
Guys, This thread has gone way off the rails. Frankly, this is a free site, there’s absolutely no obligation to disclose any financial information to the public. It’s a rather ridiculous request. We have always maintained that the list is not a definitive list of all the best hair transplant surgeons, and ultimately, it us up to the patient to do their due diligence. All of this information has been said as nauseam. I will be locking this thread, as there’s nothing further to discuss. You can use this free resource, or not, it’s up to you, but we’re under no obligation to disclose any financial details, you’re not the IRS. Let’s make that clear.

Who said I get paid a salary from doctors?! I don’t own this forum. I am employed by the owner who pays me a salary to moderate the forum and for my content. How much I earn has ZERO to do with transparency, as countless have already commented. There’s NO surgeon that pays me directly. Basically, how much I earn doing this job is NONE of your business, end of story.

Absolutely incredible, two sessions and this man has been revived. @Dr. Felipe Pittella whats your view on chest hair? What percentage does it grow. There was a discussion with @JoselitoElGallo who claimed 0% growth. Can you provide some examples and give us a approximate percentage in your practice.

6 month timeline FUE 5k sept 2021 Dr. Hasson
Melvin- Admin replied to melendezam's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
This result is stunning, you’re seeing areas that are thin, which weren’t restored. 5,000 grafts for the first half of the scalp is reasonable. The area that was transplanted is very dense.- 34 replies

Bad Angles After Mwamba Repair....
Melvin- Admin replied to HappyMan2021's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Does he have another account? Let me know via pm. We don’t allow duplicate accounts here. Definitely seems like there’s an agenda. -
I’m not gonna disclose my earnings, because frankly, it’s nobody’s business. I don’t do this for the money, I do it because I’m passionate about it. I was a regular poster long before I became a moderator and associate publisher. I was the one who scouted Dr. Pittella and got him to post and exposed him to the community. I don’t say this to brag, but it makes me feel good seeing good doctors getting the recognition they deserve. That’s why this forum is a win-win, we get to promote top-notch surgeons, in turn, they help us keep this community alive, win-win.

Transplant at 22 NW3. Quick question.
Melvin- Admin replied to Dev123's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Well, assuming you get on fin, you could potentially get one sooner maybe at 25. My suggestion was with the assumption you would continue not taking medication. Fin is proven. It can stop you from becoming a Norwood 6, and it doesn’t lose efficacy. You will still continue to bald because it is not eliminating DHT completely. So the accumulative effects of DHT would become apparent over time, but if you can keep the crown from balding, you’ve won half the battle in terms of hair restoration. There’s a few cases here the most famous @MazAB who got on fin at 24, father and uncles were Norwood 6 by 30s, he’s now 50 and maintained at Norwood 3. Again, my advice is to start off on the topical. If I could do it all over that’s what I would do. I started on oral fin at your age, got sides and gave up. That cost me dearly. Unfortunately, topical fin wasn’t readily available as it is now. Actually, I think you’d be a good candidate for the xyonhealth topical that’s being given away for a year to the top 5 candidates. You should definitely apply. -
Transplant at 22 NW3. Quick question.
Melvin- Admin replied to Dev123's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
The fact of the matter is you should not get surgery when your future is undetermined. Now, once you’re 30 and your pattern is clearly visible, it is possible to get an HT, if you commit to multiple procedures with top surgeons. You will be able to devise a master plan, and won’t be playing catch up with hair loss. I would also suggest shaving, you may like it. -
Of course I’m being paid. My time isn’t free. Now, I have to say, it’s quite upsetting to hear “it’s biased” this is not true at all. Any one can post any review from ANY surgeon recommended or not. Anyone can comment and share their opinions good or bad. We do not censor comments, posts, or threads. In fact, there was a recent thread where the patient was trying to use the forum to get a refund. Guess what, we forced the thread to stay up, why? Because transparency and truth is valuable.

There’s enough evidence that shows the topical version is just as effective, with less chance of side effects. Long term efficacy is unknown, but certainly short term, it’s just as good. -
The Original LASERCAP journey
Melvin- Admin replied to IMM1979's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I’ve been using the lasercap, and I must say it definitely helps. I feel my hair shedding has reduced and it sped up my shock loss recovery without a doubt. Now, do I think this is all you should use for hair loss? Absolutely not. But it’s a good adjunct, if you can afford it. -
Transplant at 22 NW3. Quick question.
Melvin- Admin replied to Dev123's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
You’re assuming the surgeon have a full list. Many times they don’t, very few doctors have the luxury of turning away patients without taking a loss. I can count them on one hand. -

Do NOT get a hair transplant. Big BIG mistake. I suggest getting on topical finasteride. Forget oral version. Also consider oral minoxidil. You need to be on medication for many years before considering a hair transplant. If you’re dad is a Norwood 7, you’re headed there. Getting an HT now will 💯 lead you to having an island of hair.
