Do yourself want to stop hair loss? If yes, then take finasteride. 

Hello melvin - have you continued taking finasteride after your HT?

Hi Jay,

You need to take Finasteride to stop follicle miniaturization and slow down male pattern baldness. Simple as that. There is nothing more to it 

If you have side affects, it's another story..

From my own experience, I didn't take Finasteride after my first hair transplant procedure and ending up paying the consequences... 5 years later.. I found myself needing another procedure because I lost a lot of hair in the crown and even the transplanted hairs became weaker. This only shows the importance of this medication

What norwood scale were you then ?

Well, I think it goes without saying that it's better for the end result of the HT to be on Fin. 

As to whether it's worth it for you to get a HT without being on it, there are way too many context dependent questions that will determine whether it makes sense for you. 

 

1. Have you tried topical or only oral. Some people say topical lessens chance of side effects, but TBH I'm not convinced of that over the long term due to the nature of how Fin works and it's non-dose dependent response once it's in your body.

yes - not much change

2. Where on the Norwood scale are you. Are you planning on getting crown work or only hairline?

Norwood 4 - so ill be getting crown and hairline

3. What is your family history of baldness. How aggressive is your baldness. Do you have NW5/NW6/NW7 in your future?

weirdly i dont have male pattern baldness in family !!

4. Do you use Minox, Nizoral, Dermaroll, Laser Therapy? 

No. 

 

There's probably more questions I'm not even thinking of. For your information, I am getting my first HT in November and am not on Fin and do not plan on getting on it. 

Hi 

I am planning to to have a HT in Jan ..i just read that we need to take finasteride after HT. I tried finasteride few years back and i had bad side effects. Is finasteride a must after HT. Anyone here who didnt take finasteride after HT , i would like to know your thoughts and how its going so far - thank you

Thanks a lot Kamran. Haven’t noticed much of shedding yet and looking forward to face it😂.

@vancan Hi - which package did you choose from eugenix ?

can i kindly know who Dr PriyaDarshini Das is at eugenix. I looked at their packages and saw dr sethi and arika bansal 

Hello,

So i have decided to go for HT with eugenix , thought id check with experienced members here for their thoughts. I was told that after the HT procedure that I am required to take augmentin which is an antibiotic and I am allergic to. I have second thoughts on doing a HT now because of the antiobiotcs i have take which are allergic to me unfortunately 

Anyone here who did not take antibiotcs after the procedure or any other alternatives they took after the procedure?

Hello all ,

After reading several reviews in this forum i have decided to go with eugenix as they have given good results to individuals and works best with travel plans. i intend on choosing the plan that involves dr arika bansal not sure if this the best option but the ultimate package is little to expensive. So far i never came across any bad reviews for eugenix in this forum , anyone here who had bad experience with them ?

Five Month update 

So i'm actually ten days short of being five months. However, at the request of a few members, I wanted to share my latest photos. So I had to buy a hair dryer over the weekend (which I never thought would happen in this lifetime!). On the photos, I had just washed and blow dryed my hair. So far im over the moon, and Dr Sethi has informed me there is still around 40% more growth to come through, along with hair to thicken up. To say im delighted is an understatement.  

Incredible results - very happy for you . Planning on going with eugenix this fall , would you be kind enough to let me know what packaged you picked for you HT? 

Thank you

I’ve always said there’s no best surgeon or clinic. Only best for your situation. Because of my compromised donor and need for BHT. I felt Dr. Sethi was the right surgeon for my case. 

thank you !

There’s no guarantees, but your chances go up dramatically. If you go to a hair mill that charges $1500. The chances of you getting botched is about  80%. If you go to a quality clinic, the chance of success is around 90-95%. Of course, no one can guarantee results, if you can’t accept this, again, DO NOT get surgery. 

Hello melvin - i watched your hair transplant journey - great results. Just a quick question what made you pick Eugenix india over all other places?..

All these clinics suck. Bicer is the best in Turkey. 

Thank you.. I contacted bicer they asked about approx 10K usd for 4000 grafts and in cash . Kind of felt wierd when they insisted on cash..is this how they do it?

I got my hair transplant surgery done from Long Hair Center by Dr. Ahmet Yildirim. I saw this question 3 months ago but waited for the right time to reply. Now i came across this question again accidently and would like to say that this center has a professional and friendly team. 

I read a lot of blogs before i decided, first we felt some doubt whether all the blogs real or fake. But now i can understand that after getting fully good result you cant stop yourself to help other people who really want to get rid of baldness. 

Needles to say you can go with Long Hair Center there is no need to hesitate, you will not be disappointment at the last. i have attached the guaranty certificate also that was provide by Long Hair Center. 

 

Hello , I am planning on doing a hair transplant with them - how are your results so far?
