I had a HT by Dr Diep and I highly recommend him for fue. Especially hairlines. His videos definitely made me wanna consult with him. After consultation, I booked the HT. As for his sales pitch, hell I think he's a great salesman.
Lol steak? I don't think so.... being sleepy and groggy during the procedure a steak would pose a serious choking hazard. I had a HT with Dr Diep and I'm happy. Gonna go in for another procedure for my crown.
I have a hairy chest, and it sheds a lot just like u have posted. It's happened as long as I can remember, and my chest is still hairy. I think you'll be fine.
I have been on oral finasteride for over three years with no side effects. I recommend trying the oral first. If that doesn't work out, then try the other options.
