First of all,hi everyone!
I'm a new forum member,as well as a 1st time poster.
To cut a long story short,i'm 25,and have been suffering from AGA for almost 4 years now.
I've gone from a Norwood 1 at 20,to a Norwood 2.5 with temporal recession,as well as diffuse thinning in the frontal area of my scalp(behind my temples) at 25.
I've previously used a topical solution of 0.1% Dutasteride,5% Minoxidil as well as 0.035% Tretinoin(for better absorption),with some success for a year (completely stabilized my shedding,and even had a bit of regrowth).
Unfortunately,i got hair greed and wanted to fully regrow the diffuseness i had,so my doc had upped the dosage of my topical solution to 0.2% Dutasteride,and he cut out the Tretinoin.
This ultimately turned out to be a mistake,as i happen to be a non responder to Minoxidil otherwise (without Tretinoin).
As you can imagine,this led to me losing most of my Minoxidil gains.
I've since then gotten back on the old topical solution that i had been using,and am planning on adding microneedling with a dermapen to my routine as well.
With all of that being said,i'm not sure if i'll ever fully be able to regrow the dead zones on my temples,which is why i've been considering getting an FUE procedure for at least a year now.
I've managed to save up a decent amount,and so i figured what better place to ask the question than here.
I've already looked into Dr Bicer,as well as Dr Mwamba and Dr Bisanga,but i'm not quite sure if they're a bit out of my price range these days.
I'd appreciate any input you could give me,all the best!
