can anyone recommend a good virtual doctor site to prescribe finasteride?... Just a service that sends a prescription to your pharmacy. I used to use heydoctor,, it looks like they got bought out by goodrx and the price went from $20 to $30 to $50 per visit.

is there any kind of online dr. visits in your country? i use heydoctor.com in USA.. you got to just give them a few pics of your hair and a pic of your photo id. it cost $20... they send the prescription to the pharmacy of your choice.

Thanks for posting. My donor has that defined rectangular shape too from the artas robot. I researched and haven't seen much on the internet about blending out the rectangle donor area. So this is great to see.

here are the results. 2 pictures are hair combed forward(1st and 4th pic)/ and 2 pics show hair combed back(2nd and 3rd pic). besides the HT on the hairline, look at the how thin my hair was on the entire scalp on "couple hours after HT" pictures in my previous post. you can see I have gained a lot of density on the entire scalp since then from finasteride.

have you ever considered taking propecia? I ruled it out for many years before my doc convinced me to try it. I decided to cut my pills in half and take only a half dose. Even the half dose really thickened up my remaining hair and made some growth on my bald spot.

yes, I edited my previous post. I forgot to mention this was in October 2015. The results are in. I don't have any current pictures on my computer to post right now. I'll be back though

Hair transplant failures??
dagwood replied to Dutchie's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
In my case, I had very good results. The doc sent me a letter to come in to examine the results, I couldn't come in. Enough time passed and they pretty much forgot about me. -
considering hair transplant
dagwood replied to densehair2016's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
You might want to think of a strategy. Coverage on what part of the scalp is a priority to you? personally, I transplanted my hairline because it effects my appearance the most. Also , the back of the scalp was such a big bald/thin spot that it would have depleted my donor supply. So the rest of the scalp I wanted to try restoring with treatment (fin,minox,nizoral). It took less than a year for my hair to look almost full. treatment can really work. in the future I might need another transplant, if the meds cant keep my hair. Im working my way from the front(hairline) to the back. At some point I might have to just leave the back bald if it gets bad again.
