Hi all. Iโve been looking into a HT for while as I have been thinning through the crown and mid scalp for a few years.
I recently did SMP to add density to my hair but I think itโs too thin and diffuse for it to be helping much Iโve had a chance to grow my hair out a bit.
Iโve been consulting with a few clinics regarding a HT and took this picture from the back last night after a haircut (skin fade obviously). Does this potentially look like Iโm still going to recede and lose more? The thinning underneath the base of the crown/back of head wasnโt there even a few months ago. From memory my maternal grandfather was a NW 6-7 and I think thatโs where my hair loss genetics could be from. Iโm on fin/min/microneedling and using nizoral. Seems to be not doing anything.
Iโve been told will need anywhere between 3000 to 4200 grafts, and that my donor area isnโt great. Cost is a big factor for me. I could afford the basic level at Eugenix (75 inr per graft) or the exclusive at a stretch (120 inr per graft).
Most other reputable clinics such as Dr Path, Bicer, FueCapilar are either out of my price range or wonโt take me as a client. Distance from Australia is a factor for me so I am leaning towards Thailand or India to get it done.
Or I just say f it, shave it and rock the SMP with a beard. Hair system is another option but the ongoing costs and maintenance donโt really appeal to me, and worry about it being detectable if someone touches my head. Also obviously canโt use topical min so would need to switch to an oral one in the meantime?
Iโm overwhelmed and donโt know what I should do from here.
