I would have gone with Bicer, pekineer, FUEcapilar if it has to be Turkey

But even better would be to try to get on the wait list of brino Pinto, ximena villa or bruno ferreira who have similar prices

You are a good friend to not blindly recommend ASMED to him 

Its sad what happened to asmed. I really loved my time there, and how they did my procedure. 

Hi folks,

I came here to see whats going on agter years and surprised to see that ASMED isnt in the recommended list anymore. Im feeling sorry for the patients who got poor results.

I came here for a friend whos looking for HT soon, wanted to check if ASMED is still doing good.

I can see the recommended list of surgons here, but can someone give me whos the best in Istanbul now a days? Is it Bicer? 

For my hair, they are still good. I am still happy with the results from asmed.

Looks great 👍🏻 

Any photos of hair dry?

I wont say its perfect. You can still see the scalp but it looks natural and way better from the point I started, so no complaints

One of the best 9 month results I've ever seen. You simply couldn't ask for any more than that!

Thanks.

Great result, congratulations.

Stopping FIN is a risk though. KET is not half as efficient as FIN. 

Yes its risky but i just want to try, if it wont work i'll go back to fin.

9 months update. Scalp is a lil visible with wet hair and harsh light but normally they are great. I stopped taking fin a month ago and started 2% ketocoazol shampoo recently. I heard that it can block dht too in the scalp so im gonna give it a try. So far growth has been good, they look more thicker, their texture is also changing from a lil bit curly to straight.

Thanks man!

Yours as well! Checked out your thread and I gotta say amazing results for your 6months already.

Yes, I do take supplements, I try and take daily: Biotin/MSM/Multi-Vitamin/Clean grass-fed whey protein (post workout)/recently started taking Nettle Root extract capsules for its anti-DHT properties/and I try to eat healthy. I used to take Finasteride but got annoying sides.

Oh and just like to add no minoxidil or Nizoral at all.

How about you? Take any supplements and medication?

I take biotin and fin. I want to stop fin and look for other healthy options to control DHT. I was watching those youtube videos where they tell that there are certain foods that can help controlling DHT. I wonder if anyone here on this forum tried that. Looks like your supplements are working well of you. I might try taking Nettle root extracts too. Do you buy them online?

looks good.

Congrats Cosmo, great results. I wanted to ask if you are taking any supplements or medication?

Yes taking it daily but not sure if its helping! Btw do you know whats your implanted density? Grafts per squaremeter

I don't know exactly where to find these numbers about grafts per square meter, but if you see photos from my very first post, few of the pre surgery photos show that he wrote 120/cm square in frontal and 80/cm square on top of my scalp. I don't know if it is graft per cm square or hair...

My doctor recommended cutting Proscar 5mg into quarters taking a quarter tablet every Monday, Wednesday & Friday. Giving the body a rest on Saturday & Sunday. He has already had a HT and follows his own advice. Not knowing you medication intake it’s just a thought. 

I just started taking fin 3 times a week. Hope it works for me.

Great results friend, you are a lucky fellow to get this type of result within six month! Concrags

had mine surgery at asmed at same time with you. But my density is quite weak compared to ur resluts. Concrags once again. Keep updating

Are you taking fin? Bcz i believe fin is playing a big part in my results.

IMO from what I’ve experienced and discussed with multiple doctors that have prescribed it for me the situation is far simpler. The doctors I talked to all said it was one of their most prescribed drugs, and a few times a year they’d have a person come back mentioning side effects. Roughly a few %. This aligns with the studies suggesting anywhere from 2-8%. The truth is most people aren’t at all susceptible to any sides whatsoever, and another small group of people are extremely susceptible.

My experience was a large increase in sex drive for the first month, and back to normal after that. Over two years down the track I can’t say I’ve lost any more hair despite closing in on a NW5 as a 22 year old and I’ve experienced zero side effects. If you have sides I’d definitely come off, or maybe try 0.25mg as I have done to begin with.

Im taking 1.25 mg (splitting 5mg in four) but recently Ive started blaming everything on fin, if im freling tired or sleepy or just not feeling good, i think it may be fin. So i was thinking about taking it three times a day onstead of daily. Do you have any advice for that?

idk..? lol. it’s just generic finasteride my doc prescribed me. no affiliation with any HT doc

actually Dr Reddy is a generic Fin which CVS sell. So i thought it must be that one.

On 1/8/2019 at 11:43 AM, hairlossPA said:

it was 1000mcg of biotin

Is it Dr Reddy's Fin you take from CVS?

I have been taking fin from last 6 months and every thing is fine so far. Can you tell which fin you were taking? Generic or Branded?

Excellent progress...in fact one of the best cases if not the best at the 6 month mark I've seen. One of those results where exceptional donor characteristics combined with medication are producing a superb result. Congrats!

Thanks Fozzie, the medication is definitely working good. ASMED provided me Proscar enough for a year. With only few months left, I'm thinking about switching to generic to see if it works the same, but I'm a lil bit confused as I heard generic doesn't work that good as proscar.

Awesome! Congratulations. How do you feel with your new hair?

 

I actually stopped taking photos and watching the mirror properly a while ago. But with these new hair I'm smiling every time I watch my self in the mirror lol. It feels really good.

This could be finasteride doing some of the work too! Killer result. Do you know how many grafts in the temples? 

Fin is definitely doing the job, unfortunately I don't remember the amount of grafts they implanted in temples.

You are in for a top result! Very excited about your progress. A lot of time left for growth and thickening.

Thanks, the growth is looking really good so far.

Very nice for only 6months!

Thank you Vic.

I took these pics early this month but didn't have time to post. So here are the six month results. Im happy with the growth so far.

5 months update. Everything looks fine so far. The new fine hair are maturing and still new hair are sprouting. Mid scalp is lil week, hope it will get better in coming months.

Thanks for explaining pkipling, I was a little worried about it.

In about a week it's going to be 5 months of my HT,  my results are fine and I'm really satisfied. Everyday I comb my hair and see few fine hair (about 5-10) in the comb which are obviously the new hair growing after HT. Is it normal?

4 month update. The new hair are still growing but are way shorter and thinner than the originals. I guess they will take some time to mature. If I touch my scalp I can still feel new hair sprouting. For now the hair are getting better every week.

Hi redlord,

 

   thanks for sharing the 3 month update, I can't really tell if there is some improvement in the hair because of the different lighting, but it does seem to be thicker in the 3rd month.

       I had a transplant 2 months ago and I'm seeing a few hairs sprout up, since you are saying you have fine hair growing, when did you start noticing the growth ? and at 3 month are they long hairs or still just new baby hairs sprouting up?

It was after 2 months when I started noticing those fine hair sprouting. They are actually getting longer, but they are kind of blonde and really thin so you cannot see them in the pictures. Hopefully they will gain some volume in coming months.

And almost every other day I see some fallen hair which are thin from the root side end but thicker from the other end, Don't know what's up with these kind of hair.
