Hi, I am using dermmatch everyday on my hairline and the results are amazing. However, I have the following questions. Please advice on this I wash my hair at night with mild herbal shampoo. Apply dermmatch. At night, I again wash my hair as I have to apply minoxidil. I apply minoxidil twice at night after a gap of 3 hours. Like I apply at 8 p.m. and then 11 p.m. and then sleep. Is this a good practice?? I mean washing twice in a day? I have noticed that my hair fall has increased a bit. Please advice. Is this due to dermmatch or washing twice. Can i apply minoxidil at night on dermmatch? Do you guys follow any different way to apply and wash dermmatch. Also lately my scalp has started itching a bit as well.. I think its due to dermmatch. Please help. Please advice. Please. Thanx.

Hi Guys, Few question. Please answer them 1. I apply dermmatch dry on my hair. However I never apply it on scalp, just over my hair . This works for me perfectly. My hair gets good thickness. Can I apply minoxidil at night? As i dont apply dermmatch on hair roots, I think this should work fine and dermmatch will not absorb the minoxidil as well. Please put your opinion / experience. 2. I am currently using minoxidil 2% foam now. Before that I was using minoxidil 5% regularly for more than a year. Last month I used to get headaches suddenly anytime. This continued and at one point I couldn't bear it anymore and went to doc. After checkup, he told me that my blood pressure has increased. He gave me some medicines. I had a feeling that this is due to minoxidil, hence I stopped using it for a week and i was not getting headaches and also my BP was normal. This surely convinced me minoxidil was the reason for all this. But i didn't wanted to stop it as i had good results from it. After researching I found that the alcohol content in minoxidil may be the problem. Hence I purchased Minoxidil 2% foam which has 50% alcohol and I was applying 1ml every night. The head pain was surely very less and my BP was also normal. Do you guys think I shall stick to 2% always or after finishing the foam I should try 5%. Any inputs will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi All, Although this question has been debated a lot of times, and after reading several posts and forums, I am still confused on this. Is dermmatch best under bright light ?? Like in everyday office will it be recognizable. How about nanogen?? Some guys have mastered the act of applying dermmatch and then nanogen. This will not show bald patches under bright light. Please comment guys.

Hey thanx for the reply. Hmm..well now 3 members are saying to wait for some time and go for a HT. I will consult Dr Madhu on this by meeting him. That wil be better. Any more feedbacks ??

Thanks Dutch for the feedback. Indian guys any feedback ?? Hoping for few...

So guys, any more suggestions. Will be really grateful. Thanx.. Thanx again Atomic.

Thanks a lot Atomic. really appreciated. Well actually the pics i have taken is from closeup. I will try to take a pic from bit far and post. Problem is Atomic, i really have a huge forehead. My hairline has reduced tremendously. And on the right corner of my hairline i have a big bald patch. I really cant comb my hair properly also due to this i have got big corners on my bald patch. If i keep small hair, I really looks very funny and bad. If i keep average hair my hair messes up and it falls down on my forehead. Frankly, i never wanted to go for HT. I had regeisterd in this site for hairloss way back in 2007. Since then i had communicated with some docs in this site via email. On there recommendation i started having finasteride tablets. hairfall didnt stopped completely. it just slowed the process. In the end i consultated doctors and he gave me minidoxidil for better results. My hair def became more thick. he gave me some injections on head and sometimes laser treatments. This was totally crap. I realised it later. Trust me, i tried diff hairstyles and it really didnt worked for me. hence i decide to do a HT. I will give a quick update on myself. I am from Pune, India. In India, the culture is really different. I can bet my family members will never allow me HT at 35-40, let alone at 50. In india as i am a marriageable age and my family want me to get married, hence they agreed over this. Its really tuff to make these guys understand how looking better increases one's self esteem. Hope u get wat i want to convey. The doc i am referring to is Bishan Mahadevia. Please ignore my previous comment that 2nd HT wil solve the problem. he just said i may to go for it if necessary. He also strongly believe thatthru medication for few years my hair in crown will be good enough. I really dont have any bad advice for this doc. Nor wanna give any bad influence. Infact he just said wats reality. I have send my pics to Dr Madhu. have even called him. Till date I have not got any reply from him. I am again gonna call and it will be good if he answers this time. Hopefully u guys understand wat i want to say. My hairline really sucks. I have posted pics when i have applied oil. I will post w/o applying one. maybe u guys will get convinced that i do have a large forehead and bad hairline with absolutely no idea how and where to comb..lol

Hello guys, Please Help me in my queries.. Please help. Any suggestions and personnal experience will be greatly appreciated. My age is 27. From past 2 years I am regularly takin finasteride and applying minidoxil 5% every night. The hairloss hasn't stopped completely. But my hair has become thin in that area. Apart from these tablets I also take Saw pallmeto, Horsetail tablets which are herbal and recommended for hair loss. However i have lost all my hair in my hairline. I have a big forehead now. 1st question I had send out my pics to the HT doc. As I have a recedding hairline (pics attached), he suggested that 1600-1800 grafts will be sufficient. Do u guys agree ?? I thought 2000-2200 grafts will be required. Please comment as you guys have more expertise Also he said he will transplant 45-50 grafts per cm square for hairline Now the big question: My friend had a similar hairline like mine. Well he didnt researched much as I did and went for a HT with his doc itself. The results were kinda OK. Not that great. however, after completing 1 and half year he started loosing hairs in the crown. As transplantation was only done on the receding hairline, there was a visible gap between the hairline and crown area. After consulting with his doc again, he said this can be expected and said he has to do 1 more transplant. Eventually his hair was looking very bad. Infact worse. Is this expected ?? Please comment. I am attaching my crown pics also. My doc said he will transplant some grafts in the middle as well w/o touching the existing hair. The doc gave me a realistic view saying HT will not give soo great results that it will be as if I had hair in younger age. But it will certainly enhance my looks and will be much better than present. My appreance will def change for better part. When I asked him about my second question, he said this may happen as u never know if the crown area wil start loosing hair quickly. But he said that this can be curbed with mediciation. He also said if in case i go bald in few years in crown area, then one more HT will solve the problem. Guys, Plzzzzzzzzz answers my question. Please I am really looking for some help in this forum. Thank you soo much.

Hi all, I want to ask. To choose for a HT doc, Is it necessary that the doc should be a full time HT specialist. Like after meeting some good dermatologist and seeing there work it becomes quite confusing as some of the work is really good. Can anybody plz ans this. If to chose whom to choose. I am planning to do a HT in coming month and I have zeroed on folloing docs Dr Madhu from hyderabad (HT specialist) Dr Mahadevia from Aurangabad (HT specialist) Dr Bryan Nobbay from Banglore (Very good dermatalogist, Great work in HT also) After seeing the pics and talking to the docs, there results seems really good. Can anybody please answer the question.

Hi, I am from India. I want to do hair transplant as i have lost lots of hair on my forehead. I am attaching some pics of mine. Can anyone help me determine the number of grafts required. Also i have lost adequate quantity of hair in crown section also. I consulted my doc. He said I will require around 1400 grafts I seriously doubt that. Also I have decide to have transplant from Dr. Madhu who is recommended in this forum. Please advice. Thanks, bechkam7
