So the doctor amended the assessment to 1800 grafts. Do you think that will be sufficient? And also do you think dr Freitas is the right choice? Or should I also consult someone else?

Thank you for the encouragement. I think I will go ahead and book it. Need to sort out financials but it’ll be alright I hope. I know it’s a big step but I feel excited only thinking about it

So you never teach the point everyone is always warning about. Having transplanted hair in the front staying and non-transplanted hair behind falling out? That’s awesome since I am using 0.5% topical dut once a week

Wow that sounds great. And was it visible when you started receding behind the transplanted hair?

Thank you for your input. Could you please tell me more about your procedure and how it ended up? Maybe in a message if you feel better discreetly

Thank you very much for your reactions it means a lot. I have been learning about this industry and everything that comes with it almost for 5 years now so I’d say my expectations are more than reasonable. I am very afraid of the operation but I am more afraid of myself in the mirror sometimes 😀

So this is how my hair look 2 weeks in a haircut. As you can see it’s really really bad and this is not even a strong lighting. I have the option to book the procedure with dr Freitas in November 2024 and when I see myself like this it is the only thing I want….

Yes I know that it looks fine in this picture but it is a fresh cut and it stays like this only for a few days.

Unfortunately it’s not true. If I grow it out I still look like a skeleton under the sun or a brighter light. That’s why I would like to enforce and strengthen my hairline a temples. I don’t want to lower it necessarily.

Yea, I just told them that I use oral minoxidil and topical dutasteride and they were okay with it

So after I told them that I don’t want the transplant to be very noticeable they lowered the amount of grafts to 1800 and the price is in the region between 5000-6000€…

Also, what do you think 2000 grafts will do to my hairline? I don’t want it to be so obvious so everyone immediately knows my hairline is much lower. My primary goal is to strengthen the temples so the look even with hairline under the light.

Thank you all for your answers. Yes I am aware that the hairstyle on photos with red shirt looks quite good, however under a brighter light or under the sun it looks so very weak and then my temples are completely fu***d. That’s why I would like to strengthen my hairline. I don’t know maybe less than 2000 grafts would be more optimal.

Hello guys, today I have received email assessment on my situation from doctor Freitas from Spain. He quoted me 2000 grafts to allocate to my frontal area. I would like to hear some experienced opinions on whether I should go ahead and do it. If yes, I would like to do it in January 2024 (I will reach my 25. year that month) since I’ll be living in Spain from January until June that year (exchange studies). The procedure is very costly (more than I expected with this dr) so I really need some good advices on what to do. I started using topical dutasteride from farmacia parati approximately 3 months ago and oral minoxidil 2.5mg five times a week more than a year ago. Regimen of dustasteride is 1ml of 0.5% once a week. When I finish my bottle I would like to go up to 1% once a week. So far cannot assess the efficacy. here you can see my photos. The ones with white/yellow wall behind me (first two) are from before I started using medicine. The ones with longer hair are also 1-2 years ago. The other ones with short hair are quite current. the fact is that my hair is bothering me so much (not as much as before I started wearing it short) that it is affecting other areas of my life and I would like to solve it asap. thanks to anyone who reads this

Thank you very much

Is it safe to put in on with bare hands? How long should it stay on and should I wash it off after some time? Or when is it safe for a girl to touch my head after I have put it on. These are the things I am kinda worried about

Hey guys, I just received a bottle of topical dut 0.5% from farmacia parati. Any advice on how to apply it? And how often to apply it? I was thinking about applying 1ML just once per week.

No problem. So yes they were speaking English during mail conversation and yes I have asked my gp for prescription and he filled it out for free. I am still a bit lost when it comes to what concentration should I order and how often to use it. I would really like to use it only once a week but I’m not sure what potency should I get

This is their website. And yes they will send you a template to fill out by your doctor

Thank you for the advice. Do you think 0.1% is to low? I had quite bad sides on oral fin so I want to play it safe

I just got a response from farmacia parati. The offered various concentrations of their topical dutasteride gel (liposomial). They offer 1%, 0.1% or 0.5%. What is the best concentration of I would ideally like to use it just once a week?

And doesn’t that increase the risk of side effects? I had a bad experience with oral fin so….. I tried to contact farmacia parati but they don’t seem to respond to me and I cannot really understand their website. What is their price in comparison with anagenica (80€ with shipping for 60ml)

Everyone here talks also about anagenica (fue clinic) which is somehow related to dr Mwamba (I’ve heard). I have contacted them and they said they sell 60ml of topical dut and that they recommend to start with 1ml per week. Then they said the at the solution is stable for 120 days. What does that mean? That after that it’s not usable and I should throw the rest of it out or?

You probably don’t remember their names right? Would be nice to ask how they are now.

I will try to acquire topical dutasteride and try that out for a while. That’s kind of my last hope so I really wish it’ll work for me so I can jump into the operating chair asap 😀
