If your decision was made based on the low prices they offer then you can take a look at HDC in Cyprus which is an affordable and safe option,don't trust Turkish hair mills ,many friends of mine who had gone to Turkey to get their HT done they have all deeply and bitterly regretted it.They learned the hard way that basing a decision on pricing factor was the worst thing they could do.Btw,3 of them went to hdc to fix their bad results and they are all happy now.Be careful and try to make wise decisions that do not compromise your safety, wish you the best

Judging from my experience you should have given finasteride more time,it can take 1 to 2 years to see the full effects.Shedding is not a sign that fin is not working ,it's efficacy cannot be determined in such a short period.It took me 2 years before i started noticing the first signs of improvement in my hair texture,wish you the best

You should first consult doctors recommended on this forum in order to get your reasonable questions answered,don't rush into getting a surgery if your donor area(occipital, parietal,temporal) has not been properly evaluated.

Finasteride is not recommended for children under the age of 18.

The point of getting this procedure done is to change something that is bothering us,we don't do it for others but for us.Why should we be secretive about things that make us happy?

I have many friends who have had ht done by Dr Christina and they are all delighted with their results. Amazing result,amazing doctor!

Amazing transformation!!

Amazing result, congratulations!!

Great clinic.I have heard only good things about Dr. Laura and Dr. Sever,it's a big yes.

The naturalness of the hairline and how nicely transplanted hair blend with native hair is what makes this case interesting.I believe that regardless the norwood scale someone is every case can be challenging when perfection is the goal. Excellent result as always by top notch Spanish school

Valid points,that is why forums like HRN must be the first and only place for everyone to start their research before considering getting a HT. All these self-declared gurus shamelessly promoting hair mills exploit people's needs for their own benefit and that is so so wrong. Shame on them.

Hello my friend.Do you have any pre op pictures you might want to share with us?Where did you get your ht done and how many grafts were extracted?Did you have any consultation prior to your ht procedure?Why dont you open a thread to share your experience with us? Wish you the best

The problem with oral minoxidil is that you can never know for sure if by taking it you will grow hair in your head or in other parts of your body like back,chest etc.This is the difference between oral and topical minox,where the latter is applied on the scalp and stimulates the scalp hair growth and only.Another factor that needs to be taken into account before somebody is even considering starting oral minox is whether they are suffering from any heart diseases.From the little i know,oral minox can deteriorate the condition so i would be very cautious and sceptical before using it,at least you can take some medical exams and see where you are.Just out of curiosity,why don't you use finasteride?

Ok,iam not really sure how wiki works but i think everyone can edit a post or article there,all it takes is an account.That doesn't make PFS more valid or invalid.Irving's reseach is full of holes and inconsistencies,no scientific criteria were used to back up his theories,it was just guys claiming that finasteride caused them side effects but without providing any other detail or taking into account other important factors individually.Having said that,i would not take this study seriously,at least not more than i did before added in wiki.

Ok i have to confess something here.Before i joined this forum i wasn't aware of dr Diep and his work at all,as a Eu citizen i was focused on doctors that are located in Europe.But since i became a member in HRN i run into some of dr diep results(like Melvin's outstanding result) and i was amazed at how good they turned out,now he is one of my most favorite doctors out there.And being equally good at performing both techniques sets him apart from doctors and clinics that perform FUE-only procedures.One of the best out there,if i lived in States he would be my first option,anyways happy growth man,wish you the best.

Its a big yes,one of the best in the world.Spanish school ftw

Hello again my friend.I like your approach,the frontal part needs to be done first as this will give you the most significant cosmetic change by framing your face.You will not believe the final outcome,looking yourself at the mirror will certainly become one of your favorite habits It is a good thing that you started finasteride,this will help you in many ways,it will help you mantain your native hair and make you donor area stronger.3000 grafts seem to be exactly what you need to successfully restore the frontal part. Also you need to consider yourself to be extremely lucky that you have maintained your temple peaks !!Temple peaks are of utmost importance as they will contribute to the naturalness of your hairline,also no grafts being used there means more grafts that can be used in other areas. You set realistic expectations and i am sure that you will be more than happy in 12 months from now,2021 will be your year Τhanks again for sharing your story with us,i will be following your case closely!!Cheers mate

Hello my friend ,welcome to the forum!How old are you?You hair looks fine to me,i don't see any reason for you to be considering having a hair transplant or starting finasteride,your crown is solid.You also seem to have thick hair,i don't see anything wrong going on with your hair. Perhaps you could have 1000 grafts for a small touch up in your hairline and temples,nothing more.Finasteride is for thinning crowns,yours is not thinning so it would not make any sense starting it.

Hello my friend,thanks for sharing!!You chose one of the best and most reputable doctors in the world,Bisanga is one of my favorites! Do we have any information about the distribution of grafts ;How many were put in the frontal part ,mid scalp and crown?Also i would like to ask you if you know how many cm2 is the whole bald area that was covered,thank you in advance ,happy growing mate

Although Dr Bernstein is one of the world's most reputable doctors,i would personally opt for Dr Bloxham if i were you.His results are outstanding,he is a talented doctor!

Nice improvement,i cannot wait to see the final result!! You said that it does not seem so dense as you expected it to be,but i beg to differ my friend.Looking at your starting point this is an excellent result,and and there is more improvement to come!!I bet you already feel a new person my friend !So happy for you !Did the doctor inform you about how many grafts your donor area can give in the future and if you can have more fut ?Your laxity seems to be extraordinary!!!

His results look wonderful and impressive,but... Nobody can be sure what these people will look like in 10 or 15 years from now.As we all know hairloss is an ongoing process that never stops. Given that fact,extracting such a massive number of grafts via fue can only mean one thing :that the extraction took place out of the safe area.Which means that many of these grafts will not survive in the long term. If a donor area can give ,lets say 7500 grafts via fue ,they should not be taken all in one procedure,but in smaller ones.Each procedure should give not more than 2500 grafts.That means 3 small procedures and before each one the donor area will certainly need to be reassessed.Things are different with strip,which is the only proven method that can justify the extraction of high number of grafts all in once without running the risk of losing some of them in the future. Fut will always outweigh fue when it comes to the number of grafts that can be harvested in one session,and of course the combination of fut and fue will always be better than each method alone is.

Hello my friend,first of all how old are you?Are you on any medication? You need to find a good doctor to assess your donor area. You can have a big session via strip and then if more grafts can be extracted you can go down the fue road. Your donor looks a bit weak so you must have it carefully examined by a good doctor before you decide to do something,and then come up with a conservative plan.
