Olympian-to-be Zach Lund's 2006 experience with finasteride. Go Zach! http://www1.voanews.com/englis...h-Lund-83198957.html http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory?id=9719781 hs.

WHAT THE.....Is this the same person? JK!! Stellar result there comb!

N-I-C-E result FS, happy holidays! hs.

Work looks solid. Still a bit sparse but should thicken up. How many grafts? Any further procedures planned? Grow well! hs.

Hi desperate_user, You may well experience some hair loss if you come off these medications but you should not ignore the rash or swelling. It is unlikely that minoxidil is causing the rash unless it is making contact with the affected areas. Your doctor will best advise you. hs.

notsosure, It is not necessary to take propecia but it helps to maintain the existing hair and *possibly* some regrowth. Normally the transplanted hair falls out anyway after transplantation but begins to regrow about 3 months out from the procedure anyway. Lasercombs are a waste of time and effort! good luck! hs

Dont know of any, cause is mainly hereditary, but.... there are the obvious steps to reduce the onset of this, i.e. try and reduce stress, good diet (vitamin b12), stop smoking, outdoor exercise & feel well psychologically... be well, hs.

isolence, From what I know of Nioxin, I dont believe it does a whole lot for hair growth...there are only the big 3: fin, rogaine & HT. hs.

isolence, From personal experience, lasercombs are just an expensive gimmick that just DONT WORK. Some may disagree but most here will agree and that includes some very notable HT docs. Your best bet, should you deem treatment necessary, would be to consider using Propecia or Proscar perhaps on an EOD basis. You should first consult your doctor before making any decision. Best of luck, hs.

Hairnow, you are really living up to your name, well done! hs.

Just to chime in here, I met a former patient very recently who had his HT done by one of the supposed 'elite' surgeons in Ireland. He was over 2 years out and the results looked simply dreadful. Consider all your options and decide carefully. Good luck! hs.

RK, That's a great result and probably more left in the tank should you want a another procedure in the future. hs.

It's not all bad.... The cordless version of the LLLT light saber provides an excellent means of directing aircraft on the tarmac at airports. hs. (former laser brush test pilot)

Indeed Proscar contains the same finasteride med as Propecia but if you experience side effects with one then there is nothing to say that you wont encounter the exact same sides with the other drug. hs.

Dark hair has the potential to highlight any inherent unnaturalness in the grown-out result. This is the standard that ALL surgeons should be aiming for. hs.
