Laughter...have you had any success with the SPIRONOLACTONE? Dr Lee just advised me to add this to my regeimn (currently xandrox15% and minox 5%) Also curious to know if you had any pos results with his other products... Thanx man

Noone here has ever had negative side effects to Propecia? Everyone promotes it like it candy.....I have read some horror stories elsewhere online.... Thanx

I was tight/numb for almost a year..... It didnt really bother me though, not a big deal

You are too young for Propecia. Too young to mess with your hormones. Do some reading on how propecia actually works. In my opinion, if you are shedding at such a young age, you are a top canidate for minox. Ask an endocrinologist why you shouldnt take propecia.My 16 yr old would never take it.

I personally wont use propecia,but most of the guys on the forum do... Really the only proven shampoo is nizoral.

Is it a fact for everyone that crown work takes longer to grow or just some patients? Amd if so, why? Thanx

1 year

I would try to treat it non-surgically first to see if you get a positive result and also to stabilize the loss. Then, if necessary, explore surgical alternatives.......

thanx B....I never heard Jotronics prescription....what is it and how fast can one expect to yield results? Im going in for #2 in a lil over a month...shooting for 3000 more..

b-spot......how does your scar look, and how is your scalp elasticity? thanx man

is something missing here?

or through it...depending on closure method...

Dr Shapiro, Just curious....are you currently, or planning to in the future, incorporating the new closure methods? Awesome to see both Shapiro and Hasson on the boards!

msm....3000mg daily

quote: Originally posted by ts808: Maybe some of the new closure methods could help you out, I don't know. Yep, that's my plan too. Dr Epstein will try to use his HITS technique on my scar. Hopefully it will make a significant cosmetic improvement. 3045 FUs with Dr Victor Hasson on 8 June 2004 Next procedure with Dr Jeffrey Epstein on 2 March 2006 Regimen: 1.25mg Proscar every other day Did Hasson leave a bad scar....Why Dr Epstein over Dr Hassons new scar method? Anyone know what Hasson charges per graph? Thanks guys...

i was curious as to why mudpuppys response as to why he didnt use shaprio was edited?

What is your routine?

Yeah...I had already checked out the dermatch thread...only problem, my hair was shaved to almost skin for the procedure and I have shock loss along my hairline....just have to wait....and wear hats...luckily its winter!

Yea, it is alot... My hair is cut real short in the front from the procedure, so I wear a hat ALL the time. I do not style my hair, I am in a lousy f**kin waiting period until my hair regrows enough to at least blend it with the back.... I will not take Propecia. I talked with an endocrinologist, actually, the endo-Dr. Eugene Shippen-and he adamently opposes Propecia due to the hormonal effects. Did alot of research on the drug, and it definatly is not for me... The Rogaine is, from what i have read, good for the transplant area post-op. I havent decided whether or not i will continue..... The tricomin shampoo and conditioner will probably go, but, i must say that the Revivogen Shampoo/conditioner are great and make my hair look health and shiny. Will continue with Nizoral. The laser comb may not work, but it cant hurt and its no big deal to use...... I use the Revivogen before bed- one ml- and its no big deal to use.....Dont know if it will work, but it potentially blocks DHT. The thing that troubles me is that i wont know what is working, and the longer i wait, the more hair i lose. I wash my hair daily, so the rotation of shampoos sounds like alot, but it is in reality nothing more than choosing a different bottle each time.... Anyway, I wish that there was a clear cut answer as to what exactly needed to be done to stop further loss, but I dont have it. All of this is a big pain in the ass,I cant wait till my transplant results start to show.. I am viewing this as a transition time....a time to make changes and in incorporate a manageable routine that will work for me.

My first post here....I had my transplant done on Jan 12 by Dr Shapiro. It was an awesome experience and would recomend anyone considering a procedure to investigate Shapiro Medical....Some specifics, I got 2700 graphs in the frontal region. I am almost five weeks post-op, and have incorporated a routine....I just am curious if anyone has done anything similar or see something that I need to perhaps modify.... I wont take Propecia, so I am using Revivogen once daily (1-2ml) before bed....In the mornings, I use Tricomin (copper peptides) spray and follow woth 1 mll 5% Rogaine. I rotate shampoos...Nizoral + Emu oil conditioner, Revivogen + Rev conditioner, Tricomin + Tricomin conditioner.....repeat.... I use pure aloe vera and Emu oil on my scalp if it is irritated (which, so far, it has not been) I take 3000mg of msm daily, plus Biotin and L-arg. I wonder if this is overkill, and also if I want to or will be able to continue this throughout my life.....It is alot of baggage.... Anyway, any advice is appreciated...
