3 month - Reduction in the amount of shedding

6 month - may start noticing some improvements

Remember propecia only reduces 2/3 of DHT, the follicles are still being hit. The year thing is if you don't notice any help (i.e. growth/ slow down in hairloss) then it isn't effective for that individual.

I followed that post on HLH. I'm all for constructive critizism. I'd rather have someone tell it like it is, than bite their tongue so they won't be perceived as confrontational. Welcome aboard you instigator! lol.

Are you planning to keep your hair that short?

Eman,

You setting some people up for a disappointment when they start to lose their hair and give the "meds" a try.

Stick around the forum and you'll get tons of advice on great docs. I'm from the Southeast and I flew to Canada. Piece of cake 2 day trip.

I'd say my top 3 are

Hasson & Wong - Vancouver

Ron Shapiro - Minnesota

Feller - NY

Off the top of my head in NY, Drs. Berstein & Feller.

Don't go to Bosley, Never heard of Leonard, and Rassman usually charges 2X the normal fee, due to his schedule? Weird. Never been impressed with his work (i.e. Joe Penny repair so-so) If you want to travel no more than city limits for your lifetime appearance, just shave it! Better than a bad hair job.

I'm around 3 1/2 wks post from Dr. Hasson and have only noticed some slight shed on the right hairline after 2 wks. Sure its fine. Anytime I have a question, I just call Joe and he'll clear any question right up. Like I said, I'm sure your fine, but everybody wants reassurances, so just call Joe and he'll set your mind at ease.

Peace out!

mmhce,

Thank you!

Ammars,

In you post, "going rate for HT," You stated it was 1 Euro per graft. Now your discounting it 33% and throwing in a free flight from England and a hotel.

Don't want to wind up on CNN as a hostage.

How is it Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise both have juvenile hairlines? These 2 know something, and their not telling Travolta!

RTC,

I was thinking to ask Dr. Hasson if he caught the Bulls - Pistons game last night. 97 - 95. In triple overtime! Jones hit the 3 with 2 seconds left in front of 50,000 fans. - But I decided to just keep quiet.

I've been on propecia 4 yrs/ avodart 6 yrs and have studied the processes of each, frontal hair has a different sensitivity to dht than other hairs. my dermatologist prescribed mine, I just asked and he said no problem. Also proscar reduces 70% serum dht and 38% scalp dht vs. avodart 91-93% and 54% scalp dht.

Not always effective in the front, mainly for top and crown. Have you talked to your doc about avodart?

Post-op from all my surgeries, I had the typical scabs form. My last HT, w/ custom blades, I had no scabs form, only some dry, flaking skin a week later. Other surgeries were with needles and what ever they used in the mini/micro days (though it sure wasn't custom). This leads me to realize how little trauma was caused from cc blades.

Dissatisfaction. W/O research, it's hit or miss.

It's normal. I thought Rahal patients usually had scabs for several weeks due to his post-op care.

I'll stop in to see who's there.

Looks great Bobby! I'm around 3 wks out w/ Dr. Hasson, so I'm pretty much going to follow your progress to see what's next. I haven't had the "shed" yet, so I guess I can by wk 5.

Later.

Thanks!

Pensi.. loquuac circumcision? Damn! Now I have to look these words up.

bluegreen,

Do you have pics?

Didn't do research. If I did, you would just see Dr. Hasson on my list.

RTC, I'd be hesitant to have Dr. Cole on my list.
