What is the craziest things you guys have heard, I recently overheard someone at my gym talking about hair loss and how exercise could improve blood circulation and stop hair loss. I was tempted to interject and explain why that's not really possible, but I figured hey if that motivates someone to get fit and healthy who am I to say anything haha. I'd love to hear some stories, so guys feel free to share. Stop Hair Loss With Exercise Fact or Fiction?

How Did You Guys Deal With Hair Loss Psychologically?
Melvin-Moderator posted a topic in Open Hair Loss Topics
Hey Guys, I want to get some input from the community on how you dealt and felt about your hair loss. I remember the first time one of my friends teased me about having a receded hairline when I was 21 years old. I'll never forget going to the bathroom to examine my hairline and taking a picture of it on my crappy flip phone. I felt total despair, a terrible sudden sense of panic came over me. It was true!! I was going bald. Even though that same night I gathered around friends at a party, I felt alone and empty. I examined all of my friends hairlines and none of them had any hair loss. I felt robbed of my youth. I'm glad to report that my story had a happy ending, thanks to this community. Let's hear some stories guys. The Psychological and Emotional Impact of Hair Loss -

FUE Hair Transplant with Dr Arshad @ Hair Dr Clinic
mikesFUEstory posted a topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
Hello I am Michael from Leeds, age 32 and I had a FUE hair transplant with Dr Arshad at the Hair Dr Clinic in Dewsbury back in Feburary 2018. I have had amazing results, compliments and feel great! So I decided to have a go at doing a forum of my story to show, advise and answer any questions for other people out there who have just had the proceedure done or considering it. I have a Instagram page of my Hair transplant story which I blog about it, If interested in that search "mikes_fue_story. So I will start my story with a before and current 9 months on photo and a brief account of why I had the proceedure done, and kinda a little introduction. Then I will go back to the beggings and give a detailed account of my story. I hope you enjoy reading and that it helps you with your own hairloss worries or conserns post proceedure. I am no professional and will advise you best to my knowledge and from my experience. Ok.. so my profile picture already shows you I have a great hairline again and great density which is why i am starting this way. I used to have long hair in my early to mid 20's and around age 26 I cut it short and noticed along with family and friends say " receeding a bit there Michael" and I thought it just becaused I had gone from long hair to cutting it short so didnt think of it as a issue. gettin closer to 30 I knew i was thinning and receeding at the temples and often looked into ways to resolve this. Me been weird and into these things I always knew about hair transplants when i wasnt receeding. I never liked the FUT method and the having a liniar scar. So I already knew about the FUE hair transplant method and was intrigued and would watch videos of the proceedure ect. Last years (2017) Christmas dinner with familyconversation started about my hairline and that " I was the last in the family people would think would loose his hair" And just as I thought they made comments like I still had a lot of hair still on top and its just receeding. I then told them I had actually been thinking of going to see a couple of surgeons for their opinion and quotes, Having a idea of price and amount Id need. Family agreed and said "why not" so in new year I filled in online on 2 websites and awaited thier responses. Only the Hair Dr Clinic responded and so I sent in photos, to which they replied to a day later and gave me a rough quote and set up a face to face consultation with Dr Arshad. When I arrived and was met with a warm welcoming and friendly Sommiya who is the Practice manager and she took me to the office where I was met with Dr Arshad. I will pause the story there like I say I will go back to the beginning and give a more detailed account and photos of that stage. If you can not wait then again look up my Instagram mikes_fue_story and see pictures there and feel free to message me there. The picture I have uploaded with this post shows you my hair before FUE proceedure with the receeding hairline and temples compared to now 9 months + on... Think you would agree there is a MASSIVE difference!! Briefly.. as I will go into more detail in future posts, I was unhappy I was loosing my hair so young... we all do/are. I did not feel I was down and depressed about it but I know I missed it, worried what I would look like bald, felt I still had too much hair to be shaving it down every other day and I know I did not like looking at pictures as been fair haired and lighting I look more bald than what I saw in the mirror. But as soon as the proceedure was finished and I was led back to Dr Arshad's affice to do the big reveal... I saw a new man in the mirror! I aint the most confident of people but I immediately felt more confident and so much happier as I could see a new full hairline on my head! Hope this has been a nice introduction to my experience and story and I will add more detailed posts and photos soon. I am just happy to talk about it and help advise anyone going through hair loss and considering the proceedure. Without sounding cheesy and big headed but this before and after photo speaks for itself and shows you my amazing results so far and the fantastic work of Dr Arshad and the Hair Dr team. Thank you Michael -

Do Hair Loss Supplements Work?
Melvin-Moderator posted a topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
So many "hair growth" supplements are on the market, but do any of them really work? No, most of the time the supplements do nothing.

Does Metformin Cause Hair Loss?
Melvin-Moderator posted a topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Some of you may have heard or read some articles recently that claim that Metformin could be causing hair loss, some say because of Vitamin B-12 deficiencies, while others claim that high blood sugar is linked with androgenic alopecia. However, I found no link between Metformin and hair loss, but have any of you guys heard or experienced anything differently? Does Metformin Cause Hair Loss? -
Hey Guys, This topic seems to be heavily debated even among elite hair restoration surgeons, some say it works for healing and not for hair loss, others say it rejuvenates hair follicles. I have yet to try it, but I have read studies that suggest that theoretically PRP could be effective, whats your guy's opinion. Feel free to read the article I wrote Is PRP Effective For Treating Hair Loss?

hair loss 4,338 Hair Implanted. 6 Months Result! - DHI

4,338 Hair implanted. 6 months result! Call or Book Consultation Online -
I'm 20 but I've been receding at the temples quite a far bit. My vertex is fine, but my front is just a big nono. I know it's not as bad as some of the pictures posted on here, but it's definitely happening. I can't style my hair the way my friends are doing, and getting sweaty or going swimming started becoming nightmares for me. I've started minoxidil 3 weeks ago, but I'm sure it'll need more time before the results come in. Any ideas what I could or should do for my current situation? Thanks.

2500 FUE Dr. Nader (July 5th 2018)
KoaX posted a topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
I wasn't going to share my experience but I felt that after everything I got from this forum and the fantastic experience with Dr. Nader, I had to to share this and give back to the community that helped me through this. I started losing hair in my 20's and then it stopped (or that's what I thought). I truly believe since then I lost my hair slowly and progressively until now. I'm 36 years old now. My hairline was never horrible and I didn't have peaks that really bothered me but I started noticing a lot of hair loss when looking at my pictures and seeing a much wider forehead each time. I had issues with hair loss in the crown area that I would easily cover up but then recently I also saw less volume on the front side of my hair. For the last two years Toppik, hair spray and Loreal Root Cover where my best friends but it got old too fast. I live in SoCal where generally is hot. I realized that I would get horrible migraines every time I used the root cover spray if I didn't shampoo my hair within a couple hours. I did some research and I realized of the horrible chemicals used on this spray and I started wearing a cap and just using the spray for important events or occasions. It was too much work and I was stressed out all the time thinking that somebody would touch my hair and their hands would be black all the sudden. I got used to wearing a cap all the time and my selfies did as well but every time I got home and took the hat off, I would feel like I didn't recognize or like the person that I saw on the mirror. I started looking at other people experiences and came to this forum. I travel a lot and I really considered Thailand on my last trip but I thought it was too far of a flight to come home for recovery right away so I kept looking and that's when I came across with one particular review about Dr. Nader in Reynosa, Mexico. I kept looking for stories and experiences and within weeks I made my decision. I read that it was really hard to get in touch with him so I was ready for an email battle. I sent the same email in Spanish and English with same Subject. I would send it at 8am every day. Same email. Same time. Seven Days. I then received an email from Brenda (medical assistant) and we got the conversation going. I first sent them some pics and Dr. Nader suggested me to go to my doctor to make sure that I had not alopecia or other illness that would make me ineligible for a hair restoration. I did so and results came all good. I got back in touch with them with new pics with better lighting and I asked then that I had to get this done before the end of the summer. Then Brenda replied with the only availability at the moment on July 5th and you know I TOOK IT! Once you have a date, Brenda is a lot more responsive and she always copied Dr. Nader in all emails. He knows everything that is going with you and he communicates with Brenda about you after reading each email. Dr. Nader only accepts one patience per day and he is with that patience from around 7:30am to 6:30pm so he has little time to reply to all emails himself. I booked my flight to Texas and Dr. Nader said he would book my hotel right by the McAllen Airport. I received the confirmation about a week earlier from my trip for two nights at the iStay Smart. Great location and hotel with great breakfast and a mall right across the street. Got in at 6pm on July 4th. Staff were wonderful and most of them already know about Dr. Nader because I believe we all use the same hotel and we all check-in with a cap and check-out with some more hair. His driver, Mr. Santos was supposed to pick me up at 7:45am but he was already in the breakfast area at 7:25am. Great guy and great conversation. If I was stressed about something, it wasn't about the surgery but about the drive to Reynosa. I travelled right after elections and things were a little more crazy than normal. I kept looking at the local news and I followed the hashtag #ReynosaFollow on Twitter that it helped me a lot but also freaked me out in several occasions. The drive was what I was more nervous about, even though I've visited several countries in the Middle East. We drove about 25 minutes to the office, crossing the border very easily into Mexico. The city of Reynosa seems old, disorganized... It reminded me to and old town in Thailand. Most important, I never felt in danger, as Mr Santos drove carefully and put me at ease. He walks you to the office which is in a gated building. If there is something that I was sure after talking to Dr. Nader for 15 minutes, that was that I had made the right decision. Let me get one thing straight about Dr. Nader , he is the absolutely most professional person I've met in a long time. Everything about him was amazing We talked about genes, hair loss in my family, supplements and medicines, the need to alternate shampoos weekly.... He answered every question I had and walked me through the entire process. He checked my hair and said that My hair was strong and I had short hair growing around my crown and he believed that I could just get hair by taking the right supplants and stimulating my hair the right way. He even hand wrote a list for me. After telling him about my expectations he said that I would have to focus on the front face and hairline and leave the crown for later as he truly believed it was just easy to get my hair around It naturally. He sad he didn't want to do more grafts than the ones that I would need. I have so much respect for him and you can tell from the get go that he loves his job. He said he loves focusing on one head at the time and he only leaves you alone for much. He is with you the rest of the time. After the initial conversation we started the procedure by changing clothes and getting my head shaved. I got a shot for inflammation. Right after I laid down and they started the collection from the donor area. I didn't;t feel a thing and I even took a little nap. When he was finished he gave me his glasses to look at my hairs and he said he was surprised because I had a lot of follicles with several hairs (up to 4). Then we stopped for lunch. After lunch we went to the implantation and this part was even more relaxing. When making the incision there is a sound, and it was the most relaxing part. You have a remote to browse through Netflix and watch whatever you want but I was more relaxed than anything else. After the procedure we went into his office, he gave me the post-instructions on how to care for my scalp and gave me the actual medications (antibiotics, pain and inflammation). HE told me that my extractions were high quality and gave me a report for the total amount of hairs. He actually got 2555 but only charged me for 2500. 225 grafts had 1 hair. 1246 grafts had 2 hairs. 998 grafts had 3 hairs and 86 of them had 4 hairs so I'm hoping to see all that grow very soon. He even gave me his cell phone number to send him daily updates which I have been doing and he's been extremely responsive. Santos wasn't available to is nephew took me back to McAllen. We went through another bridge to avoid lines but this area made me feel very uncomfortable so I would highly recommend you to request to come back via the international bridge that you came from even if that means having to wait a few more minutes in line. I took the bandages off on day two. First night was hard to sleep due to the position. CAUTION! I did use an aloe vera gel on day 2 on my donor area and I cried for an hour on how bad it hurt so I didn't even think of putting it anywhere else. It got red, painful and ugly. Today (day 3) I bought the actual aloe vera plant and extracted the inside and that didn't hurt at all. I'm extremely grateful. I will be sharing a few pics as I have time to upload them. Please feel free to ask any questions and I will be happy to answer. -
Dr Viral Desai Reviews
paras.tyagi posted a topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
Today, I would like to tell you about my experience with Dr Viral Desai and share some of facts, which will give you a clear idea about the qualification he has and the experience he holds in the field of plastic and cosmetic surgery as well as in the hair restoration treatment DHI (Direct Hair Implant). Many people have made a misconception in their mind that FUE is like DHI, but it's not. The best part about DHI is it’s Just one day process, in fact, it takes less than 5 hours for the treatment. After the surgery is done the patient can go back to his or her home. During the process, you won't feel any pain and can do anything you want to like talk to your friends, watch Tv, work on your laptop etc. I can tell you this because I went through the treatment and the experience was amazing Coming back to the topic, Dr Viral Desai awarded with the National Icon in Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery in 2010 is one of the famous specialists for plastic and restorative medical procedure and in addition, he is the author of DHI Hair Transplant method in India. Holding an experience of 18 years and certified for the Aesthetic and Cosmetic specialist, Plastic Surgeon, Reconstructive Surgeon Pioneer originator Medical Director DHI India, CPLSS, Sarla Hospital and Desai Hospital Pvt Ltd. Dr Viral Desai since his adolescence constantly longed for turning into the best specialist. He finished his MBBS from Lokmanya Tilak Municipal Medical College, Sion. After which joined residency in General Surgery and Oncosurgery at Tata Hospital, KEM Hospital, and Cooper Hospital, from there on he took up the Super-Speciality in Plastic Surgery (M.S.) course at Sir J. J. Gathering of Hospitals, Mumbai. Dr Viral Desai speaks with his patients to know the what they require. He screens his patients and tells his patients if the desires they have made are reasonable. He gives a total data about the methodology to be taken after for the further treatment. After knowing and experiencing the same conditions I can say that the false statements made by some jealous people for him are not good If you had any problem with the treatment, one should again visit the doctor not start complaining about him online. So, if there is someone who is looking for the doctor for his hair restoration or for any hair related problems I would recommend you, Dr Viral Desai, and if you want to know more about him you can -
Hi, I'm a 36 year old Asian male and I just want to share a bit from my own personal experience. I started experiencing thinning of hair in my 20s, and needless to say I started panicking. I did quite a bit of research and ended up giving Propecia a try. This was pretty effective, and I remained on Propecia for around 5 years. I did experience its nasty side effect though, which was reduced libido and a loss potent erection. I promptly searched for another solution and ended up trying a ginseng based solution from a branded hair care chain in Malaysia (Yun Nam). This was pretty pricey (USD4K+ for a treatment package), but it wasn't effective and I quit after 10 months. I'm currently on an Ayurveda based solution, by Cosmetology. Ayurveda is basically a traditional medicine system from India which has been around for eons, and this has been really effective for me. You can see the pics below (top is before, bottom is after). While the front scalp is slowly regaining hair, the top part is where the results came pretty quickly. Needless to say, I'm extremely pleased and still on this product for the past year.

Hi! I’ve been suffering from hair loss for at least 8 years. Since I was 16-17. I begged doctors to help me and none of them seemed very concerned so I decided to try and fix things on my own. I started working on my diet and cut out gluten. My hair still seems to be shedding quite a bit but I’m seeing tiny hairs everywhere, which I’ve never seen before. Could this be new growth even though I’m still shedding?
