How common is HT surgeries without medication? Are meds required by most reputable doctors?

What are common things to look out for in the beginning as you try either of the medications? Is shedding normal? Should I stop if I start to shed. Can either medication make the hair loss worse? Any side effects where I should stop right away and consult with a doctor? Any side effects where I should just power through?

What would be the best oral medication (at a low dose yet effective) to minimize side effects short and long term? .7 g Fin everyday Vs Dutasteride three days a week at .5 g?

Is Zarev, Sethi and Pittella strictly based on price over other elites like Hasson & Wong?

How about Hasson ?

Where does Dr. Hasson rank with some of the best in the world? Is there any others I should consult with first. (I've talked to Bloxham, Vories, Konior, Nadimi,Rahal and a few other recommendations throughout the years) It is recommended to do >4k grafts surgery.

How far out are Hasson & Wong booking surgeries?

Hello Who would be top of the list for best doctors for NW5 in the US (or Canada)? **Only FUE surgeons** Pros and Cons for separating a big two day surgery to doing 2 over 1-2 years? Thank you

Hello Are there any great doctors in Denver? With a focus on FUE? Thank you

Is Dr. Konior considered an elite FUE specialist?...or does he lean FUT?

Has there been any evidence of difference between Keeps/Hims Vs Propecia or other brand names? Whether its with positive results or side effects? Whats the best option for finasteride ?

Are there any good studies on dosage of finasteride ? .5 mg Vs 1 mg? Anything comparing dosage to results? Thank you!

Why doesn't he get more love on these forums? I haven't seen any major issues brought up, but he is never put in amongst North America's elites like Dr. Konior, Shapiro, Rahal, Hasson , Cooley. Etc.

True or Dorin? Both equal? Any other FUE Specialist? Is Konior a FUE Specialist?

Hello What are a list of MUST ASK questions during your in-person meetings with HT surgeons?

Hello I am looking into Dr. Konior, Dr. Rahal and Hasson & Wong for FUE Transplant. Is there anyone else in North America that I should look into? Thank you

Hello What would be the most important questions to ask during a consultation with a HT Surgeon?

As far as washing your hair, I've seen many different routines for it (daily/weekly). I currently use Nizoral 2x/week. I use Head & Shoulders for the days in between. Would anyone recommend something different for my routine? Thanks in advance!

As the title states.. Lipogaine or Rogaine? Why? Experiences?

Thanks for the replies. No, I have not tried Propecia. I have been on the fence for a few years now. My issue is that I had a small case of gynecomastia as a teen. I eventually had it removed. I'm worried I am predisposed to it though. I thought about starting off with very low doses and slowly working my way up. I just don't want to develop anything where I need to have surgery to remove it. So I have stayed away up to this point.

Hello What if someone can't take Propecia due to the side effects being too strong? Especially if you are looking to get a hair transplant eventually? What can be expected from a natural DHT blocker (IE Keratin Booster for Men w/ DHT Blockers) , Nizoral, and Rogaine? Thanks

Thanks, Jon. How much did you cut it down? Did it stabilize your hair loss? Also, would a smaller dose be prescribed by Dr?

Is Propecia a must before/leading up to hair transplant? For example, what if patient has strong side effects and can't take propecia?

Hello all I finally created my profile after years of silently creeping in the background and following all the stories and research. This place offers a great support system, research and feedback. My story (in short)... I started noticing my hair was thinning out at the age of 25. It started with a wedding picture and then comments would come out every once and a while from friends and family. I'm turning 30 in a few weeks. I have had some local consultations with Bosley, Dr. Gallagher, and UPENN most recently. They were only for research purposes. I have a list of strong HT surgeons I would go to if I needed (IE Vories, Rahal). Note: Only willing to do a FUE when it comes to HT. I've been on the fence for a while about Propecia and/or Rogaine (Like most, worried about side effects). I'm finally in the position to where I'm leaning towards taking it. I was going to start off at 1 MG every other day and go from there. I've used Nizoral 1x week for a year now. I was wondering if any experienced members/users had suggestions on strategy going forward? As far as medications or natural remedies? Also, I attached some pictures to give you a better idea of my situation. I would really appreciate some feedback. Thanks for reading. I look forward to hearing some feedback.
