Hi, I've only recently started to seriously research hair loss treatments and even visited with some FUE specialists but I'm at a bit of a loss and would love some advice.
First of all, can anyone recommend a good FUE surgeon near Michigan, USA? I was considering Dr. Serdar Caglayan in Michigan but can't find many mentions of him on forums like this one.
I also heard that I should look for a place where the doctor does the extractions and site/hole-formations but everywhere I call they say that the techs do that. I also heard that places like these should be willing to offer you contact information for former patients but I haven't had any luck with that from any place I've called either. Am I confused on what the norms are?
Also, I'm too scared of the side-effects of Propecia and the possibility of permanent side-effects even after stopping treatment, but I was considering the topical versions and was wondering where would be the best place (and most cost-effective) to buy these. It seems like Keeps / ForHims / HappyHeads are the big players but they're also a bit pricey. I found one that seems decent - minoxidilmax.com - but they don't require any consultation or prescription which seemed like a red flag. Can anyone offer any advice on the best place to order from? And I heard that dutasteride may be even better than finasteride and was considering a mix of minoxidil and dutasteride - does this make sense?
