any info about this new drug? they are claiming that it regrows a head full of hair in 40% of the cases till now. 

Hi guys,

my hairloss has progressed a lot since last year and i am thinning all over. i stopped minoxidil and fin in december which accelerated my hairloss i guess. i am now planning to get on them again to see how much i can preserve. although they didnt stop hairloss but is guess they was slowing it down. last week i decided to buzz cut to see how i look. and to be honest i dont like it. i posted photos just before and after the cut. now its clear that i am heading towards NW7 and my donor is not as good as i expected. 

However I talked to eugenix and they rated my hairloss at NW5a and said that i need 4700 grafts for total coverage. this could be great for the short time. but after some years i would definitely loose more and would need a lot more grafts to cover the rest. Do you think its worth it to go for a hair transplant, or i should just shave it. 

For info even with this little hair i was still able to cover everything with the help of concealers.

You should use both + either minoxidil or laser level cap for regrowth.

I use Topical Dutasteride only with Laser Cap right now but I am fully regrown on my crown area 

I am dermarolling (1.5mm) once per week and using minoxidil+finasteride. how should i add them to my regime?

hi @Mustang i want to ask you how to use dutasteride mesotherapy from Fueclinic, since you look educated on this matter. I inquired about the product from the clinic but i dont quite understand them. the instrcutions they sent were not clear. Plus do you recommend it over the normal topical duta if i have an aggressive hairloss? I really need some regrowth.

You can increase finasteride to 1mg daily. Have you tried that? Dutasteride is more effective since it works on 2 isoforms of 5-alpha reductase whereas finasteride works on only 1 isoform.

Thanks for you reply. 

No i didnt, i have read couple of times that 0.5mg is almost as effective as 1mg. But i will try taking 1mg until i can get dutasteride and see if its going to do something. 

I have been on fin 0.5mg per day for almost 1 year, and i believe it is not working. My hair is getting worse by the day. I am now considering switching to duta to help maintain what i have till i can afford a hairtransplant. I wanted to ask if anyone here has any experience with duta and if someone has noticed any improvement after switching.

Where do you live? For that price and for your hair loss I’d go strip first.

In germany. Who could you recommend me in this price range? I probably need around 3.5k grafts. 
Also what is your say on switching to duatesteride ?

I think your in a good position to consider a hair transplant. You are on a good med regime now, and it’s been over a year. 
What are your plans ? Are you thinking about getting some consultations done ? 

I dont feel like my regime is working, i am still loosing ground. i am considering switching to dutasteride but i already have watery semen from fin, i dont know if that is a good idea. Plus i have to wait at least 2 years for a hairtransplant since i dont have the money at the moment. I am planning a budget of max 10k for the first session do you recommend any in this price range? and could i still go for fue before the fut or the fut must be the first for more efficiency?

You look like you have excellent donor hair, but I would wait for a couple of years before getting an HT to see how far your NW progresses

Thanks! how many grafts do you think could be harvested?

Hi, 

I am 25 years old started loosing hair around 5 years ago, i lost a great amount of hair in a really short time. I started minoxidil around 4 years ago and had good results but after 1 year i started loosing ground again maybe because i wasnt consistent or i that i switched between different brands (btw anyone has an idea how can i get rid of the white residues from minoxidil at the back of my head?).

I added finasteride (0,5mg per day) 1 year ago in hope that it would help. My semen is watery ever since but i can live with that and i read that it is not very serious. However, I cant say that it is working, there was no regrowth and i am still shedding from time to time and still losing ground. Actually i only noticed reduced hair loss for just 1 month. I didnt increase the dose since i read that 0,5mg has almost the same affect of 1mg. I am also dermarolling for 2 months now 1,5mm once a week a using nizoral 3 times a week. I know that i should try to stabilize my hair loss, so i booked an appointment with a dermatologist next month and i will try to get a dutasteride prescription. Do you think it is a good idea or i should stop using fin or duta because of the side effects? 

If i was able to hold my hair loss would i be a could candidate for a hairtransplant? In one of the photos i put my and on the hairs that i think are thinning, so i think the hair beneath it could be used. i did some research and decided for a that decent result i need to go for an FUT for the first session since i am heading for a high norwood level. How many grafts would i need to cover the front? i am planning a budget of 10k for the first session, but i am still a student and i need at least 2 years for that. Who are the top surgeons for my case that i should aim for in europe?
