Hi,
I have sent my photos and details to several clinics, most of them said that I am suitable for a hair transplant, and started talking about scheduling a date to do it.
Except ASMED and HLC (which are the best ones among them).
Both ASMED and HLC said that its not recommended for me to do hair transplant for now. The exact answers were like this: * From ASMED:
First of all, thank you for your interest in our services. We have studied the information and the pictures you sent us and Dr. Koray has indicated that you have a lot of miniaturized hair (very thin hair) specially in the donor area, therefore you would be recommended to use Finasteride to strenghten your hair and slow the hairloss. The recommandation would be for you to use Finasteride for 2-3 months in a first stage in order to strenghten your hair in the donor area before a surgery. If you would decide to use it then please resend us pictures later on, to check your hair. * From HLC:
Thanks for the request and interest. Based on the photos we think that a hair transplant in your case is not recommended right now. You have a lot miniaturized hair on top and donor area. A hair transplant would bring no improvement at this time. We encourage you to go to a dermatologist and inform you about finasteride and minoxidil. These drugs can help to strengthen the thinned hair at the top, crown and donor area. However, these drugs should be taken at least 6-12 months to see an effect. After that we could re-evaluate your case again. I attached some of the photos that I sent them
And what I am trying to understand is two things:
1. Why other clinics said I can do the transplant with no problem?
does it mean that only in ASMED and HLC the doctors really saw my pictures?
2. What is wrong in my donor area?
I was sure it is pretty good, I cannot spot the "miniaturized hair" on it
