Were you using topical minoxidil prior to starting oral ? I would be interested to hear if you make improvements by switching to oral and if you experience any sides. Thanks

Saw an endocrinologist today. Switching to finasteride 1mg/day and starting raloxifene 60mg/day, let's see if I notice any changes.

Please update us on how this works for you 

Does your endo recommend taking the raloxifene as long as you are taking finasteride or just initially ?

how has your experience been now ? its been 2 years . any sides ? regrowth ? still on 1 mg MWF?

Any issues/sides with propecia? What was your experience using the medication ? 

bump. would like to know this as well 

I feel like TRT could help combat symptoms of Fin 

For OP,

You stated you are not using Minoxidil or Fin. 

So what are you thinking will happen long term or what did Hasson recommend ? Should there be some concern that the hair behind the new hairline will continue to receed?

I personally wouldn't want to use Fin either, but it would be hard to let hair like that go ! 

What are your thoughts with the matter and what is the strategy going forward?

Hey awesome thread. I do not mean to hi jack the thread, but I have been dying to get my HT done as well, but cannot travel to Canada due to Covid. Based on my research it seems like Hasson is top quality. In your research in HT did you find any doctors in US that would produce the same quality as Hasson? Also what is your opinion on Dr Hasson vs Dr Wong ?

I think Hasson is better in getting more grafts, Wong is better in using the numbers he has.

That said, I am not that impressed by their work in FUE, at least yet. Though I am one of the minority 

Who are you impressed by in FUE ?

thanks I was considering this doctor, but not anymore 

I do not trust any pics posted by doc.

Need real unbiased stories 

who is next best option in California ?

I would like a more aggressive, straight across hairline. Natural looking of course.

Overall, i think it is a safer clinic to choose vs some others.  They’ve been putting out some good work lately (esp more FUE works to showcase)..  

I look forward to speaking with Dr Wong and Dr Hasson sometime soon.  While i havent spoken to Dr Hasson yet, I did get a moment to talk to Dr Wong.  What I can say is I feel Dr Wong is all about the level of patient care and has more sympathy then some other docs ive spoken with.  He seems to try to help you and is upfront on how he can do so with a plan.  He seems he has ethics. 

It is a tough choice, but they both have had success in working in the front and in the crown.  Actually, i think this clinic invented the real lateral slit recipient zone style and “whorl”pattern for the crown which some other clinics used afterwards for marketing.  Some of those same docs have failed in delivering lateral slits and crown work miserably as well .
 

Now, are you going in for FUT or FUE?  

FUE

I have spoken to Dr Wong as well, but haven’t been able to speak to Dr Hasson yet. 

Hello, 

New to the forum. I am scheduling my first hair transplant. I am 27 year old with fine, brown hair. Norwood 2-3. Looking at 3000 graft for reconstruction of hairline, temple region 

I have read through a lot of patient reviews, but for myself would you recommend Dr Hasson or Dr Wong and for what reasons? 

Thank you for the help I appreciate every comment.
