Very true and sad at the same time considering they are our only option when it comes to this things...

Yeah i don't know either if it's legal since a prescription is needed... For sure it would be confiscated at customs. I'm sure there are some manufacturers in Europe also, some private pharmacies or something but i really tried to stay away from it even if i know that it's the only working thing for hair loss, but i come from a family of doctors and i was and am surrounded by a lot of them since i was a child and from 90% of them i heard only negative things about Finasteride in general, from the 5mg one to the 1mg one. Not to mention that in the country i come from, 90% of dermatologists refuse to prescribe Fin because of their experience with it and because of the recent studies, stories, warnings, etc.... I am very documented about it, about it's history and how it was discovered and even if i am very open minded when it comes to this things i just can't ignore all the contradictory info regarding it, all the other studies like the one from the Korean Journal ( "The Dark Side of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors' Therapy: Sexual Dysfunction, High Gleason Grade Prostate Cancer and Depression" ), i just can't ignore all the anecdotal reports of people reporting PFS and many other things and first of all i just can't ignore the fact that it's manufacturer is the same producer of VIOXX and i'm sure you are aware of it's story and by the recent news from Reuters in which Merk was found to have kept secret permanent or persistent sides of Fin, he manipulates studies like he did in the VIOXX case also, they keep it under seal because the law permits them, he lied about the percentages of people who get sides and the way they conducted the studies are very poor and misinformative... Not to mention the way the FDA approves this drugs based only on the manufacturers studies and not conducting studies themselves before approval, don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist but i am very disappointed on how the world looks and runs lately, from many points of view and in every domain... I really hope that Breezula comes out and that it's safe like they say it is and maybe get a transplant of two, i don't see any other option. Minox gave me heart sides, fatigue and hypertrichosis, and because i don't think i have enough sulfotransferase enzymes for it to work it only made my hair loss worse, from every point of view, only shedding and taking the life out of my remaining hair. Luckily that i used it only a couple of months and all of the sides went away after stopping the treatment... Let's hope for the best and let's hope that somebody will find in the future the actual cause of this, the root cause of it, not only blaming serum DHT and trying to destroy it, even if the majority of people this days know for sure that the accumulated scalp tissue DHT is the problem, not the serum one, which is relatively the same in both individuals, balding and not balding ones... We need to find why the process starts, why the inflammation, why the fibrosis and calcification and why DHT acts the way it does in the balding scalp regions, not just blame it on Genetics... From how i see it, soon enough there will be only baldies in the world, what they will say then, that we all inherited the genes responsible for it? I mean i know that there must be some genetic influences or susceptibility, but will all the information and data available lately, seems like the whole DHT "programmed follicles", etc theory is falling apart... And the strongest and newest discovery is that they transplanted miniaturizing hair from the human balding scalp to a immunodeficient mouse and it started growing faster than the transplanted hair from a non balding scalp, and that should make us question a lot of things, including those failed transplants that i have saw and the ones that after 5-10 years are starting to miniaturize even if the follicles should have been DHT resistant! Best regards sir.

Sorry for the late response. I am not from the US but i was watching a lot of what William Rassman's work and he actually makes a Fin topical solution at his pharmacy or something like that, he recently said it on Reddit, it's actually or cream or something from what i heard him saying but he can't send it to Europe unfortunately so i last track of it's progress... But sounded interesting anyways, he has also some info and result pictures of it on his site, for anybody who is more interested in the subject!

Damn, real nice, congrats... I would really appreciate and i am sure i'm not the only one who would, if you could do a detailed comment with number of grafts for every transplant, cost and if you were or are on any medication like finasteride for example... Good luck and keep posting, it's very interesting and could help others also... And maybe if the doctor agrees you could share his name and clinic?

Yes sir but the only thing i could find is the Morr-F from India and there is a lot of controversy about it's authenticity, some people claim it's original, some receive bottles with other substances in it, it's kind of a gamble because i understood that it's sold by different people who take it from their local pharmacies, being sold over the counter in their country... I will try to find something local here where i am, in Romania to be more exact but i'm not sure if i would find any, considering that there are not even a lot of doctors who prescribe Propecia, there are only a couple, the rest refusing to prescribe it because of it's controversy and the whole bunch of confusing information that you can find about it..

Nice, thanks for the info, good luck and congrats again on the results ! Better to have another one in 10 years if needed than suffer daily sides from hormonal altering drugs, i have the same mindset !

I think that most people are running away from topicals in general because it's much easier and less time consuming to just pop up a pill... Except Rogaine foam everything is making your hair look greasy and you have to stay a little until it dries or maybe apply it at night, as most say, it's kind of a burden.. Me for example, i am afraid of sides and i prefer topical solutions, but i use only Rogaine foam because i can't find Topical FIN in my country...

What length are you guys doing and how many times a month ?

Very nice results, i'm searching for a good hair transplant surgeon, i don't want it to be cheap but not expensive also, i am looking for one that does personally the surgery and i stumbled upon your story and i am really impressed.. I will send him some pictures this days too see what he thinks... Could you please tell me what was the total cost, how much did you pay for the plane, how much for the hotel and how much did the surgery cost ? If you don't mind and are willing to share of course, i would really appreciate it... And also are you using something like Propecia or Minoxidil ? Thanks in advance and congrats it looks very very very good and natural, enjoy !
