Don't fear monger over finasteride like this, it does nothing useful. Minor sides from fin can be things like a minor reduction in libido or watery semen. ' In addition, while I don't disagree that PFS is a thing, it's occurrence rate is so ridiculously low that it's nothing that someone who takes fin should be worried about if they stop the medication.

Yeah but think about what could happen if you could regrow even 25% of your original density through a new treatment or could get even 50% more grafts through a hair multiplication or cloning. Your illusion of density would become the real thing. Early NW guys at later ages without aggressive hairloss don't need to get gain anything back that their grafts can't already get them, they can get good-to-great density from 1 dense pack procedure. I wasn't talking about existing science, I meant future treatments like cloning to help higher NW guys get full heads of hair again.

I picked up on this myself after realizing what hair transplants were 2-3 years ago. I remember seeing Dave in random youtube videos and he has a pretty noticeable crown bald spot that disappeared after he got mega rich and starting partying with models. Then I saw he openly admitted it. To be fair, I don't know why anyone in their late 30s~ with mild hairloss wouldn't look into a transplant with today's results. These guys are ideal candidates and it's a very good option. It's the NW5+ guys that still need some assistance from science.

Don't consider a transplant at your age without Fin, in my opinion. Your hair isn't that bad and you could get some stunning results that last for decades. The alternative is getting a HT done and enjoying it for 2-3 years and probably needing another one.

You need to get on finasteride yesterday if you even want to contemplate a hair transplant. You also have a ton of hair in your thinning areas that could be thickened and maintained for years to the point where you might not even want a transplant anymore, as there isn't a fully bald area on your entire crown/midscalp. Given your loss pattern right now and based on what you said about results, I wouldn't think it's possible to get the results that you're looking for. Get on fin + minoxidil + weekly dermarolling, assess in a year and maybe you'll be in a much better spot for a transplant.

Doesn't look like 2500 grafts, but certainly not a bad result. 9.5 months in and the textures of his hair don't match yet, but in a another 6-9 months at full density and the hair starts to mimic the natural hair texture it will be fine for someone like him. He doesn't look it, but he's in his early/mid 30s and I doubt he has extensive loss incoming with such minimal recession.

Where did you get the 4k number? Most people easily have 6k+ grafts available.

The work should blend into your existing density and look pretty natural, however are you on finasteride? If not, I would 100% speak to a doctor about trying it out because you will 100% need another pass on the front to add density if you lose your natural hair there. On the graft counts, I don't think this is 500 and 100 as some poster said, but I would say there is about 300 max in the crown and maybe 700-1000 on the front. I would defiantly ask for that graft count and possibly even literally count the dots with MSpaint or something to verify. Good luck! Happy growing!

Really? I know American's that just landed in Vancouver and are quarantining in one of the mandated hotels. Now I wonder what essential service they told.

Not to start a debate here but it's fully reasonable and appropriate for a country to require things like vaccinations to allow foreign visitors into their borders. You aren't a citizen of that country, and they have every right to enforce whatever type of healthcare standards they see fit to allow you to visit. This exists all over parts of the world. If it's not something that you are interested in then you don't have to visit that specific country.

Yes because it's Trudeau's fault that America let covid go unchecked and we had to close our borders to protect our healthcare systems...

Why don't you just fly in and book a airbnb or something for 2~ weeks if possible? Pretty sure you can skip the quarantine with negative covid tests on both sides of the flight. BC is beautiful in the early summer, maybe make a mini vacation out of it once the healing is done?

Okay thanks for the information. No chance of regrowth at all? That's pretty depressing!

I have visible redness all along by thinning area, don't need a microscope for that haha. I'm happy to hear it's improving, what treatment have you been using?
