  1. Alright ill start doing some more research now - thank you for pointing me in the right direction:)
  2. Awesome thanks for your help Rawkerboi..... In regards to the supplements, are you aware of any product that has them all combined in it? Is it possible things like saw palmetto can have the negative effect on libido like propecia?
  3. Hi all:) First off a little about myself and my progress. Balding runs in my family and i started losing my hair about age 20. I have twice used propecia but i seem to be one of those unlucky few who it had disastrous side effects for ( you could have two naked playboy models in the room with me and i wouldn’t be interested! not to mention it also seemed to effect my moods and made me more emotional) I am now 25 and decided i would get a hair transplant before it gets any worse On May 19th I had a FUT hair Transplant done with Dr Radha. Originally from the photos i sent her she had thought i was a 3V however when i came in to see her it was deemed i was more likely a 3. She deemed that the density in my crown and middle areas although thinning was still too high to plant grafts there -Approximately 2300 Grafts were used to restore my hairline. The transplant was easy and i slept through a lot of it. She was very helpful with all my questions. What she did recommend was that i would be a perfect Candidate for propecia - however i told her if i wish to keep my girlfriend and my libido this isn’t an option. My questions are, and any help would be much appreciated: 1) Are there any supplements you recommend that could help or would help with maintaining the hair i have that have helped for people (other than propecia)??? 2)When should i start applying minoxidil again? is it ok to apply it to the newly transplanted hairs? will it help / hinder 3) Does anyone have epxerience with topical RU-58841 and can recommend it or something similar? 4) What regime should i use Nizoral shampoo? A previous Dr i went to when i was younger said daily however i see most people only use it 2 times a week 5) Other than Nizoral, What is the best shampoo/conditioner combo to use on a regular basis to maintain hair / stop hair loss or increase the thickness of the hair? Previously i had been using Nioxin but i see not many people use it on here Thanks for your help guys, much appreciated:) Jake
  4. sorry i just looked at this now, i thought i was set to get email updates. I have just received a hair transplant with Dr Radha and i was very pleased. Im Day 4 post surgery now. When she saw me it was deemed that my balding wasn’t as bad as we had originally thought and my density was too high to restore the mid / crown area but what she did do was use 2300 grafts to bring my hairline back to hopefully how it was when i was 18:) We shall see in 6 months to a year how the results pan out, but i am very confident. I will probably look at doing a FUE in the future as my balding progresses, to fill in the crown and middle area and place some grafts to cover the donor scar but even with my hair quite short i can’t see the sutures Im not sure how to upload an image otherwise i would
  5. thanks guys, I’m booked into see Dr Radha for surgery on 27th of April so ill keep everyone updated:)
  6. Hi Baldinginreverse! thank you for your reply, i will definitely take that into consideration. I did speak to Dr Bhatti who believed i was in the earlier stages of balding (more than 50%density) (vs the other drs who thought i was a 3 or 4 on the scale). He believed i only needed 1500 grafts to reshape my hairline and fill in the frontal temple areas vs 2000-2500 with Radha and Dua. I do Believe my pictures were a little deceiving and did not show the true extent as my hair is quite long and cut quite well to hide the thinning. I will look into Dr Bhatti more aswell. Just curious did he perform most of your surgery or was it done by his fellow drs? does anyone else have any input? thanks
  7. Hello guys! I am debating whether to get an FUT Transplant done with Dr Radha or a FUE Transplant done with Dr Kapil Dua Both of the Surgeons are endorsed hair and the both charge the exact same price for the above transplants (50Rupee per graft) I am a norwood 3 vertex or norwood 4… mainly looking to restore my hairline and fill in the temple area Any help or advice from people that have had transplants by these Dr’s or know people that have had them would be much appreciated Thanks in advance! Jake:)
