  1. Not even finasteride may maintain transplanted hair... "It has been found that the miniaturization does affect the occipital donor hair, and this may be the cause of reduction in the density of the transplanted hairs. Usage of minoxidil and finasteride and their influence in the longevity of the hair follicles in our study were not statistically significant." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8061642/
  2. You should ask if doctors design the surgery or actually perform it. You take a big risk if only techs are performing the surgery.
  3. The results I've seen on Reddit for people using topicals only make me believe it is definitely not just fancy marketing. Results vary of course, just as they do with oral meds.
  4. from ChatGPT: " Saline solution is commonly used in hair transplant surgery to keep the hair grafts hydrated during the procedure. Saline solution is a sterile, isotonic solution of sodium chloride (salt) in water, and it is not known to harm hair grafts when used properly. In fact, saline solution can be beneficial for hair grafts because it helps to maintain their moisture and prevent dehydration. Dehydrated grafts can be damaged or die, so it is important to keep them hydrated throughout the transplant process. However, it is important to note that the concentration and pH of the saline solution can affect the viability of hair grafts. Using a saline solution that is too acidic or too alkaline can be harmful to hair grafts, and can lead to their death. Therefore, it is important to use a saline solution that is properly balanced and within the appropriate range of pH. Overall, if used properly, saline solution should not harm hair grafts and can actually help to ensure their survival during the transplant process."
  5. I've been on Saw Palmetto for about a year now and have experienced decreased ejaculation, not as much as when on Fin tho.
  6. They're advertising on Facebook, looks like a hair mill.
  7. Anyone heard of this place? They're in Florida.
  8. Here's 8-months post-op...note I was always told up front I would need 2 procedures based on my Norwood
  9. I had a procedure with him last May and my results have been good so far (3,200 grafts for hairline and midscalp). My donor looks pretty much the same before the procedure and I have very little scarring if any. He does the whole procedure by himself except he has assistants that do the implanting and only sees 1 patient a day which I liked. The only thing I disliked was the lack of follow-up care but he always responds on WhatsApp.
  10. Still, this study is horrible for the HT industry. Have there been more studies on this?
  11. But if it's not penetrating the scalp, then how can it be effective?
