Hi all,

Is it possible to predict the final result of the SMP through computer images? I would be more confident if I know what the final result will look like.

Thanks

I don't think it's likely to do much, but you never know. I also have retrograde and haven't seen much improvement when I've tried, though I don't seem to respond much to minoxidil. How long has yours been like that?

Topical minoxidil is useful for my retrograde alopecia?

No disrespect Melvin, but I disagree. 

I think he can get a decent result using BHT and scalp hair, but just for the top only.

He'll have to forget about the crown

Which is the best clinic in Europe for this kind of job? They provide remote consultation?

Thanks

You have retrograde alopecia. You could try minoxidil on that region. My opinion, it’s best to do smp and have that shaved look. That or do nothing. 

Topical minoxidil?

I always shave my hair, but degradation on the back is visible even if it is very short. What is the cause for this degradation? Should I go to fin?

My goal is to minimize such a high level of baldness. Recovering the back and if possible put some hair on the head. I don't want a head full of hair, I'm bald since a very young age. Maybe some very similar with this pic from Bruce Willis:

You’re definitely an exteme Norwood 7. In my opinion, it’s probably best to try smp. I’m not sure your donor is stable enough for a hair transplant. I wouldn’t even bother with meds, it’s too far gone now. 

I don't want to have an head full of hair. Having some hairs on top and repair back is ok for me.

You're still about a NW7.  Your sides look half decent.

How is your beard and other body hair??

The sides are also dropping. I have a lot of beard and some hair on my body.

Are you on finasteride? Doing anything to try and save what you have?

I never took medication. Not being a viable candidate for HT, at least keep what I have.

Hi all,

I never had an hair transplant. I'm losing hair on back of my head, under the nape. It is depressing and frustrating. I feel like a Norwood 8 or even 9. In addition to being totally bald, I'm losing the hair I still had. Anything I can do to prevent this?

Thanks

Hi,

Which company / clinic is the leader regarding hair systems?

Thanks

Body hairs, nape hairs, chest hairs, beard hairs are completely unnatural and do not yield much.  They also are very limited in densities- 1 to 2 grafts (if that).  They’ll make area unnatural and even kill your existing hairs.  Trust me on it as ive experienced.  Also, if you take finasteride, these other hairs will die.  
 

hair systems these days can do wonders and theres no shame they look much better then a transplant if done right.  There is maintenance, but then again people take finasteride daily and apply rogaine twice daily then spend hours trying to spray toppik and have that go in our nose and worry when it rains and buy shampoos we think will do something etc etc.  to get away from all that- a good hair system or good smp may help you out.  Please do not start the hair restoration journey though as i gaurantee it wont be enough to cover you and it will look unnatural due to the counts you need to make it happen.   Due to covid im unable to show you but if your local to ny nj areas i dont mind showing what can happen.  Truth matters and i believe facts will help guide your decision.  Best of luck

Hi,

I'm totally available to talk with you. During covid time we can use Skype or Zoom.

Dear all,

Thank you very much for your very honest opinions. It is very clear now that I am not a candidate for HT. I’ll use that money for a trip to some amazing place (after this tremendous crisis).

If I may, I would like to clarify 3 doubts:

- Beard to head is an option?
- SMP is temporary? If so, for how long?
- Is there any way to fix or mitigate the retrograde alopecia? What is the root cause for retrograde alopecia?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

This is my first post ever on any internet forum.

I started losing hair at a very young age (20 years). At 30 I was already bald. My dad is too, my brother also. I have always lived with it very well - I never have looked for any type of solution, except for some ineffective pharmacy products.

Now that I'm 40 (I think being 40 changed my mindset) I would like to know if there are any miracle that can be applied to my case.

I usually shave my hair but in this period of COVID-19 I let it grow a little. In addition to having a large level of baldness, I noticed that on the back of the head, there seems to be a much weaker area (from middle to bottom).

Is there anything I can do to get hair back?
or Is there anything I can do to keep the “little” hair i have today and mitigate the weak hair I appear to have?
or Should I forget this topic and think about staying as I am?

Finally, congratulations for this forum.

Thanks
