Hello, This is my first actual post after many years of contemplating hair transplants and medical treatments. The most important thing for me is my health and well being and I think having hair is a big part of looking the part. I find myself in need of some guidance regarding my hair restoration journey. After thoughtful considerations and planning I never went on the medication route, knowing full well that the Norwood reaper would pluck my head free of hair and making my once youthful look disappear. But I have accepted this and began shaving my head 2 years ago. Today at 31 years of age my I feel like my hair loss has halted significantly, whether it is from less stress, less DHT or better lifestyle, nonetheless making for a more stable base for a HT. To hopefully receive valuable feedback, I've attached images of my current hair loss situation to this post. I believe that I’m a Norwood 4 or close to it, balding in the same pattern as my father and grandfather. Now, the main reason for my post today is to seek recommendations on clinics in Scandinavia or at least some warnings on clinics where not to go to. I live in Finland and most if not all the clinics here seem too expensive to the received quality and graft count. I'm considering two options from Sweden currently: Akacia Medical and Nordic hair Clinic. Maybe someone can recommend a clinic in Estonia also? I haven’t found any experiences from any Scandinavian clinics here and I would like to use these clinics close to my home country Finland. What would you recommend in my situation? My budget doesn’t stretch to very expensive clinics in central Europe and I would like to stay as close as possible to Finland. Recommendations and experiences will help me in many ways to decide what's best for my specific case. And any help on the number of graphs that I would probably need, would be great! BTW, the pictures with short hair are recent and the pictures with the "long" hair are from December 2020. In my opinion nothing dramatic has happened in three years (except the shaving lol).
