Senior Member Here I Grow Again Posted June 1, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted June 1, 2007 Hi Hari, I think you are going through the initial shock of realizing that you are losing hair. I feel for you friend, we've all been there. I think this is probably the worst time to look into a procedure only because in your "shocked" phase you may make the wrong decisions. It's not your fault, just that your state of mind is such that you will tend to make not so good choices. Try to take a step back and put things in perspective: If you indeed have male pattern baldness you are for a fact going to lose hair. To what degree, at your age I don't think you can say for sure. But accept the fact that you are going to lose hair. It's not so bad once you think about what women go through: Pregnancy, monthly cycles, menapause. Now once you've accepted your situation you should research all your options. There are drugs that are proven effective and procedures that could help. Research the pros and cons and when it would be best for you to exercise these options. Research and research some more so that yo are clear on your choices. Give yourself some time to adjust to your changes. Become a participant of this site and familiarize yourself with the resources. Do consult, when you get to that point, with one of the recommended docs here. I think if you keep things in perspective you will be better able to make the right choices and end up happier in the end. You are young still and have some time to think it through.

Regular Member Naruto Posted June 1, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted June 1, 2007 hi hari hey dude, feel ur pain. i guess first thing you should do is get on generic finastride, Dr. reddys lab makes it as finpecia. 1mg daily. its what is referred to by brand name as propecia. now after about a year you will see where your hairloss is the drug will stabilize it and may regrow some that fell out. since you are young it will give you best results. after a year 2 is better you can weigh in your option seeing your head if you want a hair transplant. there is so far only one doctor known in india to perform follicular unit transplant, the latest and best method. all other doctors are using outdated punch graft methods which will scar you heavily. the doctor is AP in delhi. he charges around 1 dollar a graft so that can be anywhere from 40-45 rupees a graft. if your going for a mega session look into spending 1 lakh to 2 lakh minimum. im not advocating this doctor only from seeing pics and other forum posts can say this is your closest bet. but if your a rich punk, you can always try the best in us or canada, they will be on the coalition list. but before anything get on that drug, and stick with it. even if you dont see improvement ie new hair growth, it will retain existing hair. goodluck 1.25mg finasteride drugstore.com 100 pills $225 quarter them 5% rogaine foam samsclub $50 4 month supply vanity my downfall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Naruto Posted June 5, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted June 5, 2007 hari well, the drug effects 2% of the users. mostly its a mind game, if you feel it does something to your sex drive it will, if you dont then it wont. i have been using it for a year, im 24 now. i have yet to see any sexual effects. as well i have actually regrown hairline hair. as far as hair transplants go, any surgery is to be feared, its all what your looking for in your life. i hope in another ten years theyll make a miracle drug that cures hairloss completely, but until then hairtransplant plus finasteride seem to be the only viable solution. goodluck 1.25mg finasteride drugstore.com 100 pills $225 quarter them 5% rogaine foam samsclub $50 4 month supply vanity my downfall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member thickerhair Posted June 13, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted June 13, 2007 Naurto, Do you mean to say that, in about another ten years,if a miracle drug could be found,what could that be? could it be NEOSH101, as HLBD quoted nicely in a post under "News on NEOSH101" If that would be,then would there be any need for HT? What about present HT candidates?Should wait for another ten more years? Supposing hari is 20, because he fears HTs,waiting until his 30s,can he really achieve what he did expect? And when the drug comes to life,there won't be a need to put in lakh and lakh of money for HTs,Right..?? What is ur opinion? [And personally I would not want to go for any HTs! I too expect in the same way as you do, I wonder if that would happen!!] ThickerHair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Hari, You have come to the right place. Dont bother reading what Aquarius writes. He is a nincompoop who probably wont understandwhat a nincompoop means. He has a habit of baiting Indians. As for your situation, you are losing hair from top. I guess that means your hairline is intact. In that case, try to get on meds. Finax and Minoxidil should be your first step. Use them for an year before you think of any HT. If you ever plan on a transplant dont go by costs. Go for the coalition docs or ifyou can not travel and spend outrageous amounts of $, go to either Dr. Arvind in Delhi or Dr Pathamovich in Bangkok. These are the only two in proximity. Dr. Arvind is probably a better choice for you as he has hardly any bad comments as far as his work isconcerned. But as I said,wait a year before you think of transplants. See the results of a few of the patients who are posting. roy_sam, jk, capricorn, vickyhanjan are some Dr. Arvind patients and TomA was supposed to be a Pathamovich patient. Avoid Dr. Ashok, Goyale and especially Dr. Rajput of Mumbai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Aquarius Posted June 15, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted June 15, 2007 Jolly - Are you now asking about Dr.Nincompoop ? Seems to me you were running around like a scalded cat asking anyone who you should go to including a guy that was mauled and even rationalized that he must be better now. You have come a long way. From what I have observed bad H/T and gulible consumers are the next epidemic to come out of India. A hair on the head is worth two on the brush. I don't work for commision.. I bust e'm for free.

Senior Member the B spot Posted June 15, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted June 15, 2007 These are the only two in proximity. Dr. Arvind is probably a better choice for you as he has hardly any bad comments as far as his work isconcerned. Jolly, how can you make that statement? Or, how can you assume that a Coalition Doc charges outrageous amounts of money? There is a reason these doctors charge less of a fee than other clinics. They need the work AND their approach is more experiment than mastered technique. Look around and ask about donor sealing, etc... and see how posters of Dr. A attacked anyone who suggested that the method was not-effective, then months later, this was stopped for no reason? I really do not have an issue with Dr. A or Dr. San per se, but I think some caution is healthy, especially when your casting the Coalition Docs as over-priced when compared to Dr. A. With that said, IF a person could not come to the US or Canada and had to have a HT, I believe Dr. A is the best choice for the area.

In fact, I recommend them. When I said outrageous $, I do not begrudge those doctors charging as much as they do. After all, the cost of living alone is much higher in the states. What I meant was, given the wages in Asia, the costs seem outrageously beyond our reach. A call centre employee earns 200 USD a month. My cousin is a junior resident doctor in AIIMS and he gets an equivalent of 250 USD a month. Yes, we get paid by the month, not the week. Does that put things in some perspective.

Senior Member Aquarius Posted June 16, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2007 I am glad. Now If we could only educate you between the difference of a condom and a condo. Could you elaborate on baiting Indians. Should I use oatmeal, chum, or a piece of scalp? A hair on the head is worth two on the brush. I don't work for commision.. I bust e'm for free.

Could you elaborate on baiting Indians. Should I use oatmeal, chum, or a piece of scalp? Sure. Why not! Then again, I would me more interested to know whether you take special classes to be able to write such sort of comments or is it your innate ability. G' night chum. Or should I have said g'night oatmeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HLBD Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 ThickerHair, I wanted to avoid the flame war that is going on here, but I wanted to let you know that NO ONE (even the researchers working on NEOSH101) are claiming that their compound is the "cure". There is no telling how well it will work for everyone - like most medications to treat hormonal or genetic conditions, it may work wonderfully (it may even give some people the appearance of a full head of hair back) and then on the other hand it may not work at all for others... There is no telling as tests are still not over. One MUST be objective when looking at the science of new treatments. There are some great options and I think we are about to turn the tide on the hair loss problem, but we aren't out of the woods totally quite yet. Your best course of action is to be hopefully optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
