I know Dr. Pitella posted a case a few months ago, but don't think he's posted any progress pictures/videos yet. Are there any other examples out there yet with final results? 

Looking to get a comprehensive hair analysis of my donor area before considering hair transplant overseas. Thank you

Does anyone know the differences between Dr. Somesh and Dr. Das aside from pricing?

What’s your hair loss problem ?

Have always had a high hairline and now with some recession (Norwood II) it's looking bad and want to restore frontal density and lower hairline. At the same time though, I do have a weaker than average donor area, and hence I want to go to a clinic that will properly manage my donor area.  

Narrowed it down to these two clinics. Tijuana is much closer to me as I live in the US and HMR seems to be a great clinic, but Eugenix seems to produce really great results especially with people with weaker donor areas. If I choose Eugenix, was thinking of selecting package with Dr. Das. Thoughts?

Worried about the strength of my donor area for a future HT. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This is my hair 3 weeks after a skin fade btw. Thanks! 

Could this also be DUPA? I was thinking based off the nape I have retrograde alopecia but just want to be sure.

Your donor area looks similar to mine. I had a in-person consultation with Bisanga a few months ago and he advised me to take oral minoxidil to strengthen my donor before he considers surgery. 

If I take oral minoxidil wouldn't I have to keep taking it after the transplant to keep the transplanted hairs? Meaning the transplanted hairs aren't "permanent?"

Looks like retrogade alopecia

You would need an in person consultation though

 

Can people with retrograde alopecia still get hair transplants? 

I just recently started minoxidil and derma rolling, but for the crown/top area not sides/back. I also have been taking vitamin d recently as I have a deficiency about 17ng/ml on my last blood work.

Yeah both of my moms brothers are bald so was her dad. My dad still has pretty decent amount of hair left and so does his brother and his dad. But the more I look at my scalp the more I realize it’s diffuse all over. Can’t really tell though with the sides and back because I get a skin fade every three weeks. 

Went to my dermatologist a few weeks ago and she told me I’m starting to thin at the crown and a little bit up top although not noticeable really to the normal eye, also experienced a lot of hair loss in the shower the past couple months which also stresses me out. She sent me for blood work and my vitamin D came back really low (8ng/ml). Now I’m not sure whether I should just go with just a vitamin d regimen or still ask for a finasteride prescription. Thank! FYI all pics taken today under slightly different lighting

Is this a hair whorl or is it early stages of losing my hair? Ever since I noticed it a couple months ago it hasn't really changed at all though. I'm also 16. Thank you

The first pic is when I put my hair down while the last pic is when I push it up
