    Hi everyone. I've passed the 3 month mark and I'm not on any finasteride or minoxidil. I emailed Dr Kongkiat and he told me to get on finasteride at 1mg a day and minoxidil 5%. I've since got it from the pharmacy but am afraid of taking finasteride due to the known side effects such as libido, brain fog, loss of sensitivity in the genital area, reduced erections etc. I've been reading some scientific based papers, reading online articles and of course watching youtube videos. Problem is I don't know what I can or can't share on this forum lest the stuff I post gets deleted or worse I get permanently banned from the forum. The thing that I often sees get repeated is to take 1 mg (one pill) of finasteride once every 3 days and not exceed 3gm a week due to the often citized  Can I get away with just applying minoxidil twice a day on my scalp and not take finasteride altogether? attached are my pics from a few days ago at the 3 months mark. need advice on what I should do. thank you all.

    Hey man yeah so it is always recommended to take fin after a ht and min twice a day doesn’t have the same benefits as fin. Tbh I was little worried to but I take half a pill a day and have no sides at all!

    Hey guys,

    I understand you have some concerns. I’m sending you two pms to get your name and date of surgery. I will reach out to the clinic for their response. 

    Any update on what the clinic said and any thoughts. Was really considering him!

    I wonder with their newfound popularity and growth (they are opening a third operating room) they are getting a bit loose with their process / performance.  I was certainly upset about the fact Dr Camacho not only did not do my extractions at all, but left before the implantation was even done!  There is a bit of a false advertisement there.

     

    Please link your post in the comments here when you write it, I would like to see if you had a similar experience to mine

    Would u not recommend him anymore. I have been looking at him for years ?

    I got in touch with them in November and in January made a surgery date for first week of April. Seems like they are busy, but not too far out. My surgery will be with Dr Pareja, who was available a couple weeks sooner than Dr Camacho

    Good luck mate!! Ur in good hands !

  6. Looking to book a hair transplant in around a year and been doing a lot of research on here and other places as well. I know money should not affect where you go but it is a realistic thing people have to think about. I am not thinking about going to a dirt cheap hair mill. I am thinking about going to a medium priced very reputable surgeon such as Camacho Bicer nader Laorwong. What order would y’all rank them and is there any other surgeons at their price level and reputation that y’all recommend?

    Learn more with the three surgeons / clinics on your list, forget about those who, in addition to hair transplants, also do plastic surgeries.

    You seem to have good knowledge of this stuff. I was looking into camacho kind of going away from him now after this. What do u think of dr laorwong? Heard good things about him. Here’s some of his work

    I'm not sure he's a plastic surgeon. He is a medical surgeon, trained in hair restoration in the US in year 2000. Started his own practice in Colombia in 2005... so over 20 years experience is pretty good. For the research of others:

    The before/after photos are not super impressive, but there you go.

  9. Hey I have seen a lot of different people talk about how you can make your own topical finasteride and minoxidil solution. What do y’all think about this?
     

    also I’ve heard and seen .025% fin solution is a good option to see results and reduce sides. 
     

    I like the capability of making up my own solution because I’m a diffuse thinner so I need 2.5 mL of solution to cover my scalp and I’m able to still get that .025% fin solution even with applying over 1ml worth. All the pre made ones if you apply over 1 ml you get too much fin.
     

     I can put in 6 1mg fin pills into a 60 mL bottle of minoxidil to get the .025% solution

    It is an irrefutable fact that a quality surgeon is needed because we are trusting our heads to these doctors. Hair transplant is more of a emotional process as compared to needed process. We all has to understand this that the role of a technicians are really really vital in a surgery. Why do many people think that it's better if a doctor performs the whole surgery, will the surgeon won't feel fatigue or tired? Few thousands grafts are not a easy job to extract and implant, there are some surgeons who does this but have a look at their price and waiting list? Is it worth? In my opinion a big no. I have seen Eugenix closely and majority of the technicians working their are from Dr. Sethi's home town and he is like a father figure to them. I have visited Eugenix multiple times and seen the techs remains exactly the same which is not the case with majority of the clinics as they keep on changing because they get better growth and employment options somewhere else. 

    Now coming to the technicians, When I spoke with Eugenix in the past time, they've mentioned that every tech knows what exactly he is doing, they are switching their responsibilities. Some are permanent implanters, some are loaders, some only does extraction. If one practices this for 5-10 years, we can come to the conclusion that he or she must be perfect in their work. 
     

    The Technicians are the main triumph cards behind Eugenix ability to deliver constant great results. 

    This is new and interesting thought process that I have not thought of before. I really appreciate this thanks. It actually makes sense what you are saying.
     

    What package you recommend at eugenix?

    Dr. Christina of HDC, Dr. Turan, Dr. Camacho, Dr. Laorwong, Dr. Path, Dr. Bicer, these are all great doctors at that price range.

    This is so helpful thanks so much! 

    Leaning towards dr laorwong cuz I’ll be in Australia the next year. But don’t want to restrict just cuz of location so do u recommend them all the same or are there a few u recommend more than the others?

    Again, price wise, a great budget option. It's hard to compare since i have no idea what 'most surgeon' translates to. But most if not everyone here would point you to other docs if you  an afford 2.5 per grafts and more, which is telling. I've never seen them being 100% recommended if someone ask who to go to if money is not an issue, and very often if people ask while presenting a lower budget.

    OK right on thanks again I appreciate your help. Do you have any surgeons that you can recommend for me as I am able to afford the 2.5 per graft. 3per graft is probs my max

    Pekiner is indeed a good surgeon, if you see his his history i think he was working under the Turkish army till early 2010. 
    Just consult everyone and go with one whom you thinks has the more clearer vision and answers to your needs. Eugenix exclusive and premium package is something I can bet on, don't worry you will get almost the same results in exclusive and premium.  

     

    Curious to hear more about this Eugenix. Are there techs that good or are there other docs that good as well? People usually say avoid techs doing most the work. Do they have docs perform the surgery in those other packages?

    depend on who you compare with. a lame american based surgeon could still cost you 5 a graft.

    good budget option since compared to many other docs that are compared here, the two is way cheaper, at 1-1.5 euro per graft.

    it's pretty relative since from the reccomendation, there are several 2.5-3 euro per graft docs too, but some are more popular for others. need to compare apple to apple instead of apple to pineapple, different parameter yield different result.

    I was I guess just speaking as overall  how do they compare to most surgeons out there like  do people only go to them for price or results as well?

    Gur is overal a good surgeon at a decent and affordable price. Both Gur and turan are at the same level, but they differ in their technique. Turan uses Choi implanter to implant the grafts without incisions, while Gur is doing incisions and then the grafts are implanted by techs.  

    Oh OK gotcha thanks I appreciate u letting me know. So the techs aren’t involved at all w  turan due to his method? I’ve heard that gur has more of a natural hairline design to turan. Any other surgeons that you recommend that are as good as them with the same price point?
