Since i reduced fin i do see more hair in my hand when i put min on

it's one of those meds which needs to be taken regulary or the benefits are los,t wonder if it's worth it, depending on the level of hair loss

Will been on or starting finasteride etc be included in the study as well ? Also which country is this in?

Ht is the best way to restore hair but people are different it might be the case for one person but not the other. I Wonder if any clinics can share long term results of ht surgery or don't they keep in touch for this long?

Yes, I agree the main ones are fin and min the other stuff may help even if limited. It's become normal now i take fin and the vit in the morning i have lunch late in the afternoon so don't know if this is making it work better on empty stomach etc After a shower and towel dry hair i use min so it's easy to do. I hope i could have a ht if i cannot then atleast the meds helped improve and regrow hair but it was not enough to stop the reflection of light from the scalp which only the ht would be able to do. What has been proposed by Dr Bisanga depending on the donor is fut & fue with beard hair as well so I get coverage all over, to give the illusion of density and stop the reflection of light from the scalp.

Does look thin you would have to have a doc check it in person. When i sent pictures around i got different response until i had it checked in person consultation.

When i do use it one time a week i try to leave it in for about 3 - 5 min Recently i reduced using it a lot because i think it could be contributing to my hair going white/grey

It would be interesting to see anyone with a hair transplant for over 10 years i remember asking this question a long time ago but no reply on here. Would it be one hair transplant or more required to keep up with the hair loss, if any?

Front hair line picture taken indoors below, click to make big: Currently using min foam all over scalp one time per day, fin less then half a tab per day, biotin + vitamins supplements, nizarol + lipo shampoo 1 times per week, other days alpecin caffine shampoo, Exercise, improve nutrition, try to reduce stress and be happy!

Oh, where might that be? Nice results hair has thickened up alot like my hair i noticed hair thicker and regrowth in the crown. I've almost grown half my crown and hair line back with meds alone!

I started using min foam and had no sides for over 1 year. Recent i did add lipo min 1 time at night but unsure if this was the cause of my scalp irritation. I now use min foam 1 time per day i put it on late afternoon time all over my head. I noticed the less i itch my scalp the better it gets when i itch it there is dead skin falling off like it has got dry only from this one area of the scalp. Also if i itch it then when i do put min on and it touches that area it stings. I think it's best to reduce min use, don't itch or use comb and try nizarol to see if it clears up.

I think it's effects on blood pressure etc

What i noticed with pictures is if you use a different phone camera or or under different light the hair looks different. Sometimes it could add density and sometimes it could add light and make the hairloss appear far more. Recently i have cut fin down to only a bit a day, 1 tab lasts me 3 to 4 days, Since my hair itch has got better i will start to use min twice again, I don't use the dermaroller anymore bec i think it irritates the scalp, Cut down on Nizarol shampoo only use it now and then not regulary, I continue to take vitamins and supplements regulary. Below 2 recent pictures taken outside compare with before meds pictures. I trim the sides down to no1 so it all blends in as you can see the crown has regrowth and the front has improved alot. Now i have been told by doctors 2500 grafts fue to get the front hair line back and add mid scalp density then after a year see what can be done about the crown. I really want this rather then risk a big fut ht and try and go for the whole lot in one go. [if only the donor hair improves or stabilizes as last time it was checked i was told that there was alot of miniaturization going on. Where there was 3 follicles 1 or 2 hair were been miniaturized, where there was 2 there was 1 been miniaturized even some of the singles on there own were in the miniaturization process]

lol, when will the study finish?

i have been told i have course hairs which is good for transplanting as mentioned above but my donor density is not so good

Hair loss meds are a good way to stabilize your hair loss, improve what you got and possibly get regrowth

How would you study this? is it possible its a combination of things like hair loss people suffer more stress, less likely to have a partner, etc

I used to have long hair and never wanted short hair after years of hair loss i changed my hair style to keeping it short and it's been a long time now i like it short and don't think i would grow it like i used to when i was 20 if i had the choice. It takes a bit of time and you may get used to it... Also my hair is going white/grey around the sides so when i use a number one on the sides it blends in well with what little i have ontop and trims the white/grey hairs so they are not so visible.

There is always a risk with meds and even hair transplants but i want to get my hair as good as possible before going back to the doc in a few months time. Not sure why the liquid would make the itch more ? Its been about a month i use regain form all over 1 time a day, the itch seems to be getting better. Also i have cut down on fin due the sides. i now split the tab into 3 sometimes 4 bits and getting on fine with no sides. Pictures below taken indoors front and crown hair

My dad is nrwood 7 and my brother was nrwood 7 before 28, I'm 36 nrwood 5-6 and have been told by one top doc that it maybe slower then them but i will eventually be like them. Just hope i don't! I have heard alot of things masturbation causes [non-scientific] nothing about it connected to hairloss

Buzzing down or shaving it before deciding to go down the ht way is always a good option and should be tried for a while in my opinion

I have not been able to take some more pictures outside due to the weather and it getting dark early but i have had to reduce fin to 0.3mg daily due to getting sides on 0.5mg. I continue with the supplements and min foam after this bottle i will try the liquid to see if it works better for me. I have developed a itch right in the crown area where the hair starts to bald it could be min. My hair is looking much better since been on meds no doubt. I will be booking a appointment with Dr. Bisanga soon to see if my donor hair situation has improved enough for me to have a ht.

Both, Some people are just not suitable candidates for hair transplants even if the some doctors say they can have a ht. If they go ahead with ht good luck to them but it may all look good at the start but later on they will find out and could be in a worse situation then they started. This is why i have done alot of research before deciding if i could have a ht or not and why. Just to add when my donor area was checked by DR. Bisanga (BHR Clinic) there was a high amount of hair miniaturization so what if i had gone ahead with the other doctors it would have been very risky.

Wonder if they are dht resistant ? My chest hairs are much thinner than my scalp hair

Meds do help esp min and fin if you don't get sides you will stabilize hair loss, improve what you got and may even get some regrowth but they are not cheap and you have to use them regulary.
