BaldinginDubai

Heard about it for the first time on the post, been researching quite a bit on it. My challenge is finding someone who can do a decent job in Dubai

Thanks, can I shave my head and still continue with the laser treatment, medication and tropical application? Reason I ask is while I don’t mind waiting a year, I would rather be shaved and look clean than patches of hair the way it is now.

I did try Finasteride and it didn’t work for me as there were some side effects in the bed room. Definetly not going down that path again, I’ll be starting the tropical application Follics FR12 which has Minoxidil and Finasteride.

Honestly after all the conversations, I am leaning towards shaving it off

Hello Everybody, I am a 38 year young Indian male, who has lived abroad most of his life (primarily in the Middle East) and am currently residing in Dubai. I have a family history of male pattern baldness, specifically with all the males in my fathers side while my mothers side has enviable hair. I have always had thin hair, the hair fall started almost 4 years back but 2020 has been the worst. I meet with a few doctors to understand options and will continue to meet a few more over the next few weeks with the end objective of a hair transplant. What has been the common message from most clinics: 1) You are at stage 7, but still have strands of hair. 2) Donor area is very limited so will have to do 2 sessions atleast. Starting with the hairline and later focusing on the crown. Where the messaging has been different: 1) 2 Drs (1 in Dubai and another in Turkey) recommended that I start medication to limit hair fall before proceeding with a HT. 2) 2 clinics in Turkey advised I can start the first transplant with approx 4000 grafts immediately and the crown with 1500 grafts after a year. Based on the recommendations, I have started/will start the following. 1) Low Level Laser Treatment: Purchased the iRestore professional and have been using for 2 weeks now. 2) Priorin N tablets, 2 times a day and have been using for 2 weeks now. 3) Follics FR 12, recommended 2 times a day for application on the scalp. Expecting delivery of the product by next week. As a next step I intend to start the above 3 steps until the hair fall stabilizes and in the interim meet with a few HT specialists. My preference will be to do the procedure in Dubai where I am based but if that is not an option then open to flying to Turkey or India. Would be great to hear your feedback on this approach.
