Foreign Language Forums

[TrixGlendevon]

Can anybody recommend some foreign language forums? I tried Hair Loss Talk (English language but I wanted a different perspective) but there is no movement on there at all. This genuinely seems to be the best English language site. However, I want to see what other countries say about the same surgeons who are on my shortlist and one of them doesn't have much exposure on this site. Any help?

international hairloss forum is the best.

Thanks. It is French too so my shortlist should all be on there (all Belgium based).

Hairloss experiences is a good forum imo

Bumping to add:
-Hair loss experiences - French; patient submissions are fewer but site is easy to navigate, pictures are inline with posts, and overall runs fast. Best back end programming of any forum I've come across--can view large numbers of cases quickly.
-Recuperalpelo - Spanish; need to register an account to search; older cases are almost entirely broken links. Excellent sampling of the fue spring coming from Spain. Good source for less mentioned surgeons (ie. Ximena Vila, Pinto, Heinicke, etc).
-Alopezie - German; older formatting makes pics harder to see and small number of surgical cases overall.
-Haarweb - Dutch; very limited number overall as a subsection of a general hair loss site.

Very interesting to see how surgeons discussed here are viewed in other countries, as well as how foreign surgeons are viewed by their respective medical communities.

Please name the forums, but don’t post links. Except for one forum which I’ve removed, because they’ve been found to censor their forum members.

Mind sharing which one? Could be important to know for future hair transplant patients.

Speaking of forums,  anyone know what happened to hairlosshelp forum?

Are you able to access it or did they go out if business and give up on hair loss “help”?

don't look for others, HRN is the only reliable one.

Absolutely! The most open and transparent too....

Some docs are more active on one forum vs another when it comes to posting results. Some real patients post on one more than another.  It sucks but you have to look at so many forums when you need to gather info.  There are just so many.  Then There are those that are language based.  
 

no doubt this forum has been active

 

wondering what happened to the hairlosshelp forum though

it seems to have ceased operations - topcat where are you?  Do you know what happened by any chance?

I personally don’t know about other forums, these forums aren’t cheap to run, so unless they have sponsorships, I can’t see them surviving.
