Senior Member notsosure Posted January 13, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted January 13, 2009 Ok, I'm considering an HT to fix receeding areas in my temple areas only. I'm 30 years old. Mainly just getting a nice receeding hairline, and a little overall thinning, but nothing major. 1. If I get an HT, am I required to take propecia or will all of my HT hair fall out? 2. I'm assuming the reason drugs are prescribed after an HT is to prevent future loss of non HT hair, correct? 3. I see all of the side effects from propecia, so it's just not worth the risk for me. I've heard of the "laser comb". Is this legitimate, or not? Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member hairscout Posted January 13, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted January 13, 2009 notsosure, It is not necessary to take propecia but it helps to maintain the existing hair and *possibly* some regrowth. Normally the transplanted hair falls out anyway after transplantation but begins to regrow about 3 months out from the procedure anyway. Lasercombs are a waste of time and effort! good luck! hs These views are from my own learned experience. I am NOT a Doctor, but people say that I do look like one from a distance.

Senior Member LT Posted January 18, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted January 18, 2009 I used my lasercomb for like 2 years straight it didn't stop my hair loss. The lasercomb sounded like a good idea at the time it was something different. Just one of many things I wasted my money on over the years to fight hair loss out of $600.00 with the lasercomb.
