Future Hair Doc

I think 2,200 - 2,500 grafts should work well

You have no idea how many men ask me about this. The "ideal" proportions for a face are 1/3 from bottom of the chin to the bottom of the nose, 1/3 from the bottom of the nose to the eyebrows, and 1/3 from the eyebrows to the hairline. There are so many people who want their hairline to be lowered whereby it would violate these proportions and it DOES not look good. 

Phenomenal results. Another homerun by Dr. Wesley. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing results from a limited number of grafts! Thanks for sharing.

This is an amazing transformation. You guys have some excellent results. Do you find that Indian men have thicker hair and greater density compared to caucasian hair? The pics seem like Indian hair is thicker allowing for much greater coverage with fewer grafts. 

Amazing results indeed. I personally find South Asian men to have thicker, wavier hair which is great for hair transplants. 

Another amazing result from Dr. Panine. The patient must be thrilled!

Hey I have stressed out lately because it seems that I am losing hair everyday. I am a 24yo male and I have recently just started taking finasteride 1mg 3 days a week to lessen the side effects if I were to have any. Also, I have been taking saw palmetto, biotin, and other vitamins. I would like to first go to dermatologist before any other further actions to get a diognosis on whether I am deficient in anything and get a blood test. Are there any good and affordable dermatologists in Illinois that any of you can recommend. Also, do most of them take insurance, and what is the cost without insurance (I know it might just depend). Thank you

I second what @Melvin-Moderator said. Dr. Panine is a board certified dermatologist and is a great guy. I would get in touch with him ASAP. In addition, seeing another dermatologist will take a LONG time since you'd have to go through your PCP to get the referral for insurance approval. You'll be in good hands with @Dr. Vladimir Panine

I have an appointment with Panine on Monday and I can possibly have surgery as early as November. 

 

Dr. Panine is great. He's highly recommended on here and is very ethical. He's got a lot of great results posted on here as well.

Really!?!  I went to another dr. who said I wasn't a candidate yet, but I thought he just wanted to sell me the capillus laser hat!  I feel like everyone is staring at my hairline and it makes me insecure.  I didn't think about shock loss.

I don't think you need a hair transplant either. You've got a GREAT head of hair. If anything, get on finasteride and minoxidil. If you're worried about side effects from the finasteride, use the topical solution. Please let me know if you have any questions and feel free to PM me.

Interesting.

So, why would anybody use oral fin at all, if it comes with the possibility of side effects?

TBH, I'm not sure. Topical finasteride isn't as readily available for some reason. I've only seen it in topical form within the past 3 years. Good question.

That's a dramatic decrease in such a short amount of time. Any trauma or significant stressors? I would hop on finasteride and minoxidil ASAP and see a doctor. 

Topical finasteride is just as effective as oral given an appropriate concentration in the topical solution. I use Morr F 5 and have gotten great results and it's affordable. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Hi everyone, I'll be meeting Dr. Vladimir Panine in about 1 week and will be interviewing him. If you have any questions for him, please let me know and I will ask him your questions. I will put out a transcript and maybe a video after our meeting. This is a great opportunity to ask an extremely well regarded Elite Coalition physician any questions that you may have. Also, please feel free to PM me as well if you prefer.

Phenomenal results. Hit it out of the ballpark. 

I would have told my younger self to hop on finasteride and minoxidil ASAP and wish I had known about this forum so I could have made a better informed decision on which surgeon to go to.

Unbelievable results

I recommend getting on meds like finasteride and minoxidil ASAP and waiting until 30 at the earliest to get a good sense of what will be required in the future.

What would you consider to be a safe dose of oral minoxidil?? Have you noticed any side effects?

1mg daily. I don't use it orally so I can't say anything about side effects. Biggest side effect would be hypotension

I suggest using a combo minoxidil/finasteride solution/foam ASAP (you won't get systemic side effects from this). Monitor your progress on this. It's been found to be as equally as efficacious as the oral form. Please feel free to PM me as well. Hang in there buddy

Amazing. The patient must be ecstatic with his results

An amazing result! I bet the patient is very happy with this

First, see a physician and get started on finasteride and minoxidil. It sounds like you might be depressed as well. Do you have a good social support network? Please feel free to PM. Hang in there buddy

I get this but is it as effective and if not how large of a difference has been noted. I take regular fin now started doing every other day. But obviously the no sides or less sides is a huge selling point for the long haul especially considering I am doing every 2 days as opposed to every day. Should be noted I have been taking Fin for 2 years this month. 

Topical is as effective as oral. See this study:

This is the only study I've found comparing the efficacy between the two. I'm surprised at the lack of studies on this tbh

Has anyone tried this?

I'm guessing this is what Dr Khokar is referring to.

This is what I use and it works well. Just get it from a reputable seller. Lots of knock offs out there.

Can you sum this link up in a pill vs topical reply? lol 

Sure, basically it stops hair loss and lowers DHT levels and has virtually no systemic side effects.
