really tempted to say here that any libido concerns would be instantly resolved by visiting your clinic...

What is the dosage that you prescribe for oral minox?

Thanks @Gabreille Nelson Mukhia

Thanks, bruv

Thanks @MazAB!

I am definitely biased because I just happen to notice his responses. I'm certainly not a good source for who would be excellent forum contributors on the podcast - will leave that for a broader consensus.

Thanks. Would be an honour and pleasure to take part. But would also love to see/hear from some other big contributors as well as vets on here: @gillenator @JC71 @SLA @Ryan Daniel I know not everyone is into doing this kind of stuff for personal/social/work reasons. Don't think it would be mandatory to be on camera.

Agreed. All excellent contributors to this forum.

Absolutely. Dr. Mwamba, Drs. Bansal and Sethi, Drs. Hasson and Wong - I feel bad for not mentioning other docs because they are some fantastic ones on here who we are familiar with.... Tho I think its best to keep a panel to 3 because it any more would reduce talk time for each doctor. But since it's an ongoing effort, there is always an opportunity to get most of them on.

I vote for his staff!!!!

Perhaps a roundtable of three or four top docs that we are familiar with talking about the state of the industry, where its going, answering q's from members?

These are shots from today:

Ok, update time - week 18. I've been letting my hair grow out (obviously) and it's such an awkward phase. My native hairs, which I haven't seen this much of in over 25 years(!!!!!) are just like my transplants - so wiry and thick and does its own thing. Gonna wait another week and go to the barber for the first time in that many years too. Experimented with fibers for the first time last week. I can now appreciate how much they add volume but I chose the wrong colour and, under bright lights, it didn't look quite right. Got to be crafty and judicious with that stuff. These are my week 17 shots:

Haha - good luck with that!

Time to start losing hair again....gonna need a few transplants...

Nice work @Dr. Felipe Pittella! Thanks for posting @Antonio Andrade! I look forward to seeing your progress with so many grafts.

Haha - guess who my new fav clinic is!

Yup - especially the young guys who are starting to recede and make impulse decisions.

I use a handheld device (like the one in the pic but not the same brand but it is the same specs). It was a device that my wife bought early last year. After checking out some studies on LLLT and wound healing (not a lot of substantial empirical evidence on hair restoration), I decided to use it for the first 3 months on a daily basis for 30 minutes a day, about 10 cm above my scalp. The studies use lab-grade LLLTs which require less time since energy output is higher. To increase total energy output, you have to increase exposure time when irradiance levels are lower (that is, the handheld device I have has less output than lab-grade LLLTs but it can be compensated for in terms of exposure time). In the last month, I have only been using the device every other day. I know there's a lot of skepticism as to whether these consumer-level devices are powerful enough so if you were looking to decided between a cap-based device specifically designed for thinning hair, or a handheld device that can be used for injuries, collagen-building, etc., I would opt for the device that has the same specs (630-660 nm wavelength for red light, 830 nm for infrared light) and go for a handheld version rather than the cap-based version. The laser caps seem like they are overpriced compared to their performance when going against a handheld device with similar specs.

Looking good @rob7331

Yes - the work does look quite refined. Nice job @Dr. Felipe Pittella

Another dramatic transformation. I really love seeing how much a HT can turn back the clock and restore confidence with a single surgery.

Were they moles or lipomas? Good luck in recovery - hopefully all the grafts above and around the affected area remain healthy!

It's coming in nicely. The SMP does help reduce the contrast.

Thanks for the posting. Keep us updated with your progress. I'm really interested to see how it is going to turn out.
