Have you had any success without taking Fin?

Yes i dont take Fin and have full restored my hair for ten years

Everyone is different.  Finasteride is not a pre-requisite for everyone.  It depends on your level of loss and if it stabilised.  Not everyone progress's to top norwoods and just need the frontal third replaced or particular balding areas worked on.  I personally would never take that drug

Based on recent observations, it looks like Beckham has had those very unnatural temple closures carried out in places like Turkey which to be screams transplant.  Sounds like he probably didn't do his research and jumped in.

I was surprised looking at those earlier pics, at how far gone his Crown was.  He was headed for significant baldness.  I do wonder what his true state now is without concealer. I guess some pics will emerge soon with his buzzed look how his scalp is looking all over.

i think maybe because ht are not good for long term for most people

I wouldnt agree with this. By no means will everyone progress to the top norwood level. Just look around on the street and you see plenty of people middleaged with isolated loss either at the hairline or crown.

A good HT or 2 would sort these people right out. I will agree that young people with agressive loss need to be most careful when planning a HT as it could look odd if they contiunued to lose hair un attaching the transplanted area.

Hang in there and be patient. And be prepared for growth bursts here and there and then for things to quiet down again. I had a lot of growth around 4-6 months.

Then as far as i can tell things hardly changed from 6-8 months. Then 8/9 months can see more growth and maturing beginning to happen.

Everyone is different but FUE takes little longer to come in. A good 12-15 months before you can get an idea of final result.

 

"Now I gather that Spencer is a paranoid guy, and angry about all the scammers and hacks and predators in the HT industry - and this probably accounts for a lot of their aggressive/draconian rule enforcement as well as their aversion to any other forum that they can't control. I can see that he's trying to do good in the world and keep people from getting burned and taken advantage of, so I don't really hate the forum for its stark policies; who knows, it may actually be a safer place for certain newbies who aren't bright enough to do research or identify scammers who might infiltrate forums and PM them with BS offers. I guess protecting people with extreme restrictions is a form of protecting them, in some way. "

 

Hmmm from what i've seen i would have said the opposite.

Just read her Wiki. He is actually a male model too. Lol.

That dude would prob pass for NW1 with his hair grown out to cover temples. In any event, do you know his financial status? This can supersede any amount of baldness with girls from what I've seen!

Get your testosterone and free test levels checked too. These can be affected and very important to have base line data before your start.

The fact that Dr's and others dont significantly advise people to do this is disgraceful. They just tell people to pop a drug powerful enough to alter your whole hormone endoctrine system like an aspirin.!

People are left in limbo when sides kick in with no base line data to measure against.

AS Hairi said people are saying good things bout Keratene Alphactive Retard with no sides.

Your loss of libido is surely down to the Fin. I was on it for nearly 4 years OK until sides kicked in. You also have to realise every year your test levels naturally slightly drop too. So each year everyone becomes more susceptible to side effects. Fin affected my free test levels and lowered them significantly. It jumped back up after i ditched it.

I for one wont be putting any crap like this in my body ever again. Madness messing with hormones.

How anyone can say this is a fantastic result is beyond me.

That patient must be delighted with that result from where he started.

One of the best results ive seen. Mega dense from where he started.

Hi Yeah I am doing the same thing! But there appear to be a mass number of people who haven't figured this out or refuse to do so. Its a simple action of getting your doctor to prescribe Finasteride 5mg cut into 4 Pieces take daily for 4 days miss the 5th day as you are taking 1.25mg Dosage.

 

Some people are paying 100 Pound - 200 Pound for a few month supply it is an absolute rip off and scam. And some people who are involved in it should know better not to name any names. But there are HT doctors and Co-Ordinators involved in it.

Spot on . I know of a few straight off. There are some people really taking advantage out there but this is only the tip of the iceberg. Its not surprising though, the industry is full of shill's and is in dire need of regulation.

Absoloutly correct Fin will do nothing for your hairline. It mainly works in the crown and mid scalp area. HT is the only proper way to restore your hairline.

And 100% get all of your blood work done before starting something like Fin. Get your hormone levels taken, Test , Free test levels etc. Speak to your GP / Urilogist or search around the web for the full list of tests to get done.

The official % of side affects is bullshit , I don't think that's in doubt.

There's a huge % who get sides, some more severe than others. Others won't even recognise their sides.

It all comes down to personal educated decision. I he isolated loss in one region which I've treated with a ht. I do not need fin at this stage (am mid 30s).

It did not give any regrowth but maintained a bit of crappy hair in front which was going anyway.

You should look at your loss pattern , age , current minturisation etc before deciding. I would not go near the stuff again. I would look at another milder DHT blocker like 5 alpha kertane which people are reporting no side effects with.

If Jason Statham was not an action movie star and working in the local factory you can be sure he would have nowhere near the female attention he gets. Therefore i find these comparisons a bit futile.

In saying that he does rock the bald look good. Its true a good shaped head is key.

However bottom line i think the sad fact is almost everyone looks better with hair or a shaved hairline.

Hi, my 2 cents. When i had issues with Finasteride these treatments did not do much for me.

It killed more crucially the 'urge'. Discontiuation of Fin was the only way forward.

id also like to retract my above comment as i had confused them at the time with Blackrock clinic.

From what ive read around Ailesbury are a disaster.

Cheers guys, yeah hopefully the next 3 months will see some serious growth!

 

Im still taking keratene fitnessjunkie. I started around 2 months ago and so far I haven't really noticed anything (good or bad) but there are some other forums that are showing good results. I'm taking 1 capsule a day but you can take 2. Even without the meds I don't think I was losing that much as my loss seems very slow but then again I could well be wrong!! I just want to make sure I hold onto what I have especially now that I have had a HT. I haven't suffered any sides at all so thats a good thing. Hope your recovery is going well and you are starting to see some growth, It should be an interesting next 3 months!

Hi Stu. How are things coming along? How are you going with the Keratene. Have you noticed anything at all since starting it.?

I have heard and seen some pretty bad results from Ailesbury. Hopefully the original poster went elsewhere.

Excellent addition. Very solid work ive seen from this clinic.

Hi Hairi - Hows your progress coming along? Any sides at all so far?

i would have thought 2500 -3000 in the front. Hard to see the back. It looks like a big punch size to me. Did they inform you of the punch size?

Best of luck with the result

Great Dr and top drawer results. I would still be going Belgium though at those prices im afraid.

I can see why they have costed it though as they did as when you look at the other HT clinics in the UK most are farcically overpriced. At least with Lorenzo youre in a world class surgeons hands i suppose.
