  1. Thx guys for the support. HairGone what if I dump number 1? I can not use Finasteride, will it have the same effects? I used minox once a day and nizoral twice a week for around 6 months did not notice any improvement or shedding and I left it be.
  2. Thx for your reply. What if I have enough donor hair to cover future frontal hairline after doing vertex area HT? because the surgeon told me that I have much of donor area above 8000 grafts and my hair is dense so even few hairs can make a difference once they are dry and use some type of boosters/paste product. Also, what do you think about having a partial crown topper hair system for a few years until 35 and see how is my hair by then? Because I am noticing toppik can no hide enough of hair thinning areas and the top part is just flying around looking weak, It needs some support either with a partial crown topper or small session of fue...
  3. Hi guys,33 Years old here been suffering from hair loss since being 20 and it's going worse but at a very slow pace. I attached some photos of my current hair with/without concealer.propecia and minoxidil are out of question now because I tried them in the past 10 years either with no benefit or with side effects. The last dr I consulted asked me to stick with finasteride 6 months minimum before doing my first fue.My question is if I want to use finasteride at all is it the proper age to start my first fue? or should I stick with concealer and wait it up for a few more years? or just give up and shave it up/use a hair system? PS: I think in my case with thick sides and longer hair toppik is doing me a nice work. Can I do small sessions of FUE and use the help of combing over/toppik to keep going at the same pace?
  4. Any suggestions of you guys highly appreciated. You spend more time than me researching spare a minute to suggest which route to take. Here are more clear pics of my hair: Share.Pho.to | This photo set was shared via Share.Pho.to I don't know why some people telling me if I did a HT at this stage I will ruin my life specially if I opt not to use fin, but if I can't use fin and I have enough donor for future HTs why shouldn't I do it? I mean do I really have other options?
  5. Thanks again for your input really appreciate it.
  6. Any further expert opinions is really appreciated. Kindly note that the photos doesn't show the real thinning as in reality it looks very obvious if I don't put on toppik
  7. Hi Dr, thanks for your reply I really appreciate. I should visit a Ht dr soon, however some ppl told me that I will ruin my life if I go for HT at this stage? why is that? they didn't explain.. And some are saying that HT won't work as good if you don't want to use fin ever? but if I have enough donor for future Hts I can nail it without meds?
  8. Hi all. This is Mohammad. I am a hair loss sufferer as most of you here. I registered before doing any move to have an advice from experts in this field. I visited some Drs in my country which I didn't feel that they are being honest with their answers, the plan was traveling abroad for a HT but still I was hoping for a good dr in my country to enlighten me. I noticed that I have a thin hairline from my teen age around 18. On 23 the crown area was obvious and I almost did a HT. Tried fin and gave me side effects in my sexual life that took me months to be clear from mentally and physically. Thank god am clear from it now and I decided to not opt for the pills anymore. With the help of hairdresser who introduced me to toppik I was able to use it on daily basis and so far am happy with the result. Now am 29 and I don't want to use concealers. I want to cut my hair shorter and feel natural, glad that I didn't do a HT before 5 years as now i noticed the thinking reached wider area. Here is pics of my current situation : Share.Pho.to | This photo set was shared via Share.Pho.to And here is pics of my daily routine after using topic + my dad hairline he's 62 now: Share.Pho.to | This photo set was shared via Share.Pho.to When I was 23 my mentality was to have a HT and I will have dense hair forever, and I was going to choose the cheaper options available. Now I read more about this and my financial life is much better as I can opt for the best only. I want your genuine thoughts about : 1- should i opt for HT now? how does my donor area looks like? I don't want to look silly on my 50s or so if more original hair falled and I don't have more donor hairs for other Transplants. 2- in the last 5 years I used to put little wax along with topik, sleep overnight and wash with normal shampoos like head and shoulders, I want to take care of it now What are best options for scalp which kind of shampoo should I use? oils before sleeping etc?? will it make a difference? 3- Low level lazer therapies, Igrow later will it make a difference? 4- After HT how soon I can wear a hat or use toppik again? with my hair style as above photos am i a good candidate for HT without shaving? 5- What will be your plan if your in my shoes?( Without fin,minor etc... ) Sorry if am not being clear in any part as english is not my first language, I am no expert in online search and forum using but anyone who reply kindly note that your opinion will be taken very seriously and will help me in this decision.
