There are a lot of different protocols people swear by. However, if 5α blockers are to have an effect on hair loss they need to reduce the amount of DHT circulating in your body. If someone cannot tolerate Finasteride because it gives them side effects (actual side effects, not nocebo), I highly doubt they will tolerate Dutasteride. This is simply because if Dutasteride is to have an effect it needs to lover DHT - i.e., the actual culprit of why someone would get Finasteride side effects to begin with.

Dr Hasson - NW3 ~3000 Grafts - 37 years old - April 2024
Chrisno replied to Sooty86's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Looking very nice! Dense packed, matching your native density behind. I am sure this will yield an excellent outcome for you -
That's not true, other doctors can also place that dense if appropriate for the patient. Dr. Hasson did 85FU/cm for me. There is s recent case where he did 90FU/cm on another patient. Both in one sitting. Not to discredit Leal's results in any way, though. From the extraction patterns I have seen from Leal, he does not use nape hair. He uses hair above the ears.

You'll need a second pass to achieve your desired density. 2,600 grafts for that area was never going to visually match your native density in the area behind your newly established hairline.

Finasteride side-effects mitigated by raising Testosterone levels
Chrisno replied to TheManeMan's topic in Hair Loss Drugs
If the side effects from Finasteride (or Dutasteride) is caused by elevated estrogen levels, then sure, taking exogenous testosterone could help. But by taking testosterone, you will also create more DHT in the body (some of exogenous testosterone will convert to DHT, you are not blocking all the enzymes. So what's the point in taking Fin/Dut to lower DHT if you are going to increase it again by going on gear? By taking exogenous testosterone you are fast-tracking your hairloss. -
Dr Pittella's "PRECISE" scale app - ScalpScan

This looks like a marketing gimmick. I'm sorry, but I don't believe for a second an experience hair transpant surgeon would have any need for this. -

Try taking the photos with your front camera facing your hairline. If you stand in front of a mirror, you can easily see your screen and where your camera is pointing Just a small trick I learned trying to get good closeups! I took this photo on my Samsung phone right now, for reference: -

Looks good, I really can't see anything wrong on either photos? That said, would be good to see some high res close up photos, not front/selfie cam -

Dr Hasson - NW3 ~3000 Grafts - 37 years old - April 2024
Chrisno replied to Sooty86's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Get on oral finasteride asap. You first start with oral. If you get sides, stick with it for at least 2 months, it usually resolves itself as your body adapts. Still sides after 2 months? Taper down to 3 times per week. Still sides? Reduce dosage to 0.5mg 3x a week. Still sides? Swap with topical. Best of luck with Dr. Hasson. You are in the very best of hands I am extremely happy with my own surgery with him. -
Great! Can't wait for more updates from you early next year Thoroughly enjoyed this thread from the start.

Dr Pitella impossible hair transplant
Chrisno replied to mr_peanutbutter's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
It's relating to how your skin "pulls" together before the scar tissue fills inn. I.e. the skins ability to contract, thereby semi-closing the wound. You can read more here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8605797/ -
If you take oral Finasteride: you do not need to stop at all. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that your wife/girlfriend should not get into contact with the medication (crushed tablets). If you take topical/liquid Finasteride: you should probably stop when trying to conceive, and discontinue the use until the baby is born (if it is boy). I would talk to a doctor about it (if you take topical finasteride), since I haven't found articles saying when you should stop.

Another good article here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK582707/

If you are taking oral finasteride (pills), there is no need to stop. Your partner just needs to avoid getting her hands on crushed pills, that's all. You can continue with intimacy, the amount of finasteride in your semen is completely negligible. You can read more here (this is just one of many scientific articles on this topic): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2018472/pdf/11785276.pdf If you take topical finasteride/Dutasteride you should stop, because it could theoretically transfer to her skin and then to the baby (boy) through her bloodstream.

Why is shaving seen as being confident
Chrisno replied to Al - Moderator's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Playing the piano is a skill. Having hair is not a skill. Generally, having hair is aesthetically more pleasing than being bald. I say generally, because e.g., being a high NW and doing an extreme comb-over etc. is aesthetically less pleasing than being bald. If society generally sees having hair a favourable trait, then shaving your head shows you are confident because you don't care what other people think of you. Confidence is about believing in yourself. Not shaving your head when you have terrible hair is the opposite of being confident. -

Westminster Medical Group - Discussion about graft numbers
Chrisno replied to dntv's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
I think he's probably looking at closer to 700-1000 grafts to be honest. Density needs to be close to his natural density behind his new hairline. If not, it's going to look like there is a hairline behind the hairline. -
Absolutely flawless, looking as natural as...well, natural! Congratulations on a great result, with a beautiful hairline and excellent temple points.

You should consult with an elite clinic who handle repair cases. This is a good case, seems a bit similar to yours: https://hassonandwong.com/hair-transplant-turkey/

Physician On-boarding/Removal Criteria
Chrisno replied to Melvin- Admin's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Would it be possible to tighten the definition further, saying that surgeons must do the recipient site creation? I think we would have a hard time recommending a surgeon who does extractions and/or implanting but not recipient sites.
