    I had an HT at Eugenix very recently. I was an NW4, and about 3500 grafts were recommended for me.

    I opted for the Exclusive package - the one in which hairline design and slits are done by Dr Arika Bansal (but not the extraction).
    This package hit the sweet spot for me because I felt I paid for exactly what I wanted. I got Dr Arika's expertise in the two crucial steps - design and slits (read slit placement). I wasn't concerned about the extraction much because Dr Arika and the team were confident that my donar would deliver the required 3500 grafts. Having said that, had I needed say 4000+ scalp grafts, which is pushing the limit to what you can do in 1 procedure, I would have probably opted for the Premium package where Dr Arika does the extraction herself.

    Hope this helps, @Gokul Krishnan
     

    Just curious. What was the reason you used dr.arika and not dr.sethi?

    Oh I totally agree, just wondering where this particular nonsense has come from. First the waves of hts will fail after 10 years, and now this? 😞 

    Yeah i know.

    one thing i noticed is that, u can still grow beard while on finasteride. I heard people say it is impossible on Reddit.

    I’m literally using minoxidil on my beard and have like 1-2 year plan to stay with it to grow a decent beard. My progression has been good tbh so i don’t believe anymore on randoms  says on the internet

    You'll see age 35 thrown around a lot as a generic reference for this, and there's some general truth to that although there are no definitive rules. By this point you will often have an indication of your full pattern if your alopecia is milder, and people with aggressive loss may have already lost most of the hair they're going to lose and be a full blown Norwood 6. All this to say, your loss (or at least rate of loss) tends to stabilize somewhat with age.

    Medication doesn't exactly lose efficacy per se. When you're losing ground 99% of the time it's just that there has been a slow, progressive creep of loss and it has advanced far enough for you to notice (kind of like you don't notice thinning initially until you've actually lost a good chunk of hair). So the goal is to get that progression to be as slow as possible, if not to stop it entirely. How successful you are is probably going to depend on how aggressive your treatment is, how aggressive your loss is, and so on. The more hair you start with, the better your odds of maintaining long term. Beyond that, more extreme methods like surgery can be used to help regain ground as the need arises.

     

    So finasteride will have negative effect on body hair?

    I'm not doubting, otherwise I wouldn't have decided for her. Its a big decision and i wanted to be sure of my choice thats all.

     

    Aha, I understand but why did you then wrote: "am i ruined now?"?

    You choosed the best doctor from the ones you listed but as it has ben written before, i would gone for Eugenix considering that they can at least
    do as well and probably better considering the condition you are in now :)

    Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. If you already lost everything and get your first HT then, sure, there's Rahul-like miracles. :) What I meant is holding on to your existing hair long term with treatment = delaying the inevitable. Even a HT at a "young" age is haphazard if you are truly a NW7 because your donor will miniaturize too. Give enough time (decades) and you'll be where you would have ended up earlier.

    How do we know if we end up in norwood 7? 
    can the doctors see that trough microscope?

    There are about 20 new videos here: https://fueclinic.com/results/

    Also 2 famous youtubers recently went to Dr Mwamba, they will likely be posting their cases and video reviews

    Feriduni's prices are cost prohibitive for most and probably why you don't see many cases here but rest assure he is excellent. Probably in the top 5 worldwide (for me)

    Damn, did not know he had a side. Looks very good

    0.5 mg daily or 1 mg on alternate days is now my recommended regimen. I am looking into even lowering that as we know that the effects around the sebaceous glands of the follicle can technically last for weeks. Would be great if we can get some maintenance with once a week dose after a brief loading dose for example. 

    I have started with 0.5 alternate days just to not get side effects. Is it enought?
