Pumpkin

hi, this is my very first post on this forum, but i have been reading everything i can about hair transplants for about 3 years. i am 25 years old, and the hair loss i have today is almost the same as it was when i was 20. i was told via phone consultation that i am a norwood 3, but i'm not sure that i agree. i've lost hair in my temples, not a lot, but enough to make the angles appear a bit sharp. if i had to compare my hairline to a public person, i would say my hairline resembles ben stiller's, though we have dramatically different hair characteristics (i have light brown, medium shaft thickness). naturally, i don't need a big ht surgery because i only want my temples restored (i was told 800 fu's would be sufficient) so i thought that fue was the best option. i've read everything i can about the procedure, and because of the higher cost, i wanted to be sure i would get a transplant that was the best possible. lately, i have become a little hesitant about moving forward with fue because of some of the things i have read - and some of the things i haven't. theoretically, fue is supposed to leave an imperceptible mark in the donor area because the small punch contracts when it heals. i just believed this because it seemed logical and i had no reason to doubt many good doctors. recently, i met someone with an fue transplant of more than a year ago, and he told me that with his head shaved, he has many visible white, small hairless patches of skin. he provided a resource to confirm this by looking at dr. bernstein & rassman's site. i would encourage you to look into that and determine for yourself if shaving your head will be an option if you don't like your fue transplant. i have a couple other reservations about the procedure. the graft survival rate was a concern for me, and after reading more thouroughly about graft harvesting i had reason to be. the subaceous fat around the hair when harvesting is difficult to have any control over, which can seriously affect the grafts survival. a small, but necessary amount of fat around the follicle is really important to ensure it grows and grows in the direction in which it was implanted. *i'm not an expert on hair transplants, and i have never had a hair transplant. my post is just my opinion and observation*

I know that your post is pretty old, but I wanted to share my thoughts on this. When I started taking Proscar, I noticed my scalp was itchy and it felt kind of numb. I welcomed the change because I thought that was evidence it was doing something! About 1-2 months later, the side-effects were all gone, and my hair was thicker. As for body hair, it is influenced by many things and DHT is only one. I shave my body to allow my hard-earned muscle to be seen, and I have not noticed any difference whatsoever in body hair. However, my facial hair seems to be thicker and darker. I'm pretty sure it has caused this, but it hasn't increased or decreased my body hair to my knowledge.

Hi, I just wanted to share my experience with Proscar. I take half a tablet per day and I have noticed dramatic gains in muscularity. I'm an avid strength trainer, and I pay careful attention to my training regimen and diet. I'm 100% positive that Proscar has had a positive effect on my efforts in the gym.
