Future Hair Doc

If you were deemed to be a non candidate, why make all these plans? Oh, but wait.  You are tightly shaven...Sometimes this kind of gets in the way and the doctor may think you have poor donor when in reality the opposite is the case. Other times, and it's likely to be the case, you may be  experiencing some degree of thinning in donor which would result in subsequent thinning of the grafts.  So, my first suggestion, let your hair grow and reassess.  The second thing, take advantage of this time and get on a medical regimen, (Propecia, Rogaine, PRP, Laser). Do them religiously for 1 year and reassess.  If you do improve, you may end up having more options.

That sounds like FUE price. FUT tends to be about $5-$6. Are you only looking for FUE?

One of the best results I've ever seen. Simply incredible and looks completely natural. Thanks for sharing

Awesome results and a great demonstration of graft preservation. Thank you for sharing

Phenomenal results. Thanks for sharing

That's very nice dense packing and a great, completely natural hairline. Thanks for sharing

Dr. Barghouti does awesome work and is extremely helpful and nice. I'm looking forward to your progress

It can take a few months for the numbness to go away

Norwood III Vertex should be where I'm at on the scale after looking at the guide. I live in Washington State and was looking into DHI FUE, and Phaze Laser in Vegas had the only doctor in the US listed on the dhiglobal site

Definitely consult with @Steven Gabel, MD, FACS. He consistently produces stellar results and is extremely helpful/nice. 

Definitely looks like balding

Are you on finasteride and minoxidil? Any pics you can share? 

Amazing result and looks completely natural. Thank you for sharing

Looking great so far. Dr. Bisanga does amazing work. Are you on finasteride and minoxidil?

Have you thought about switching the dutasteride?

I think Dr. Robert Dorin does PRP

I'm on oral dutasteride and my beard game is strong. I'm also on oral minoxidil 

It looks like you have DUPA. You should see your doctor about getting on finasteride ASAP and start on minoxidil too. Right now, you're not a candidate for a hair transplant

Interesting. Who are the best surgeons for body hair transplants? You don't see many examples unfortunately. He is likely one of the best and that probably explains his low transection rates. 

I don't think you need surgery at this point. Talk to your doctor about possibly switching from finasteride to dustasteride

I'll echo what @JC71recommended. Welcome to the forum btw

Good to see you back and posting @JC71

Thanks for sharing. Very interesting study. I suspected this to be the case as well

This is amazing. Definitely one of the best cases I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing

Hi Dr. Khokhar -- appreciate the suggestion.

Where would I be able to find some alcohol and propylene glycol free minoxidil? I am currently using the generic Kirkland brand.

Happy to help. I believe minoxidilmax offers topical finasteride/minoxidil without alcohol or propylene glycol:

Hi Heisenberg, I strongly suggest you at least attempt finasteride. You should switch to the liquid minoxidil without alcohol and propylene glycol. If you're getting side effects from oral finasteride, which about 5% of people get, then switch to topical finasteride. Feel free to reach out anytime
