jonnyalex Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Not sure how I feel about this clinic... A lot of the threads from their patients seem sort of ... manufactured? Something seems off.. just an observation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey no finesteride for me, before or after. No minoxidil either. Just took the vitamins that were recommended for around 4 months. Stopped those now as well, though I may restart them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they prescribe anything for the existing hair besides the vitamins? And what is the brand of these vitamins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr arika told me that she highle recommends me to use finasteride for my crown area. Vitamins are more for faster growth and can be taken for 3 months. After that if you are on a health diet these can be stopped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started with minoxidil, but it was too cumbersome so I stopped. The vitamins came in a box called 'Hair Fact', with different vitamins to be taken on different days of the week. I did take these for around 4 months. But to clarify they do ask that you take finasteride and minoxidil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the other clinics suggest just PRP or STT instead of this, which aren't FDA approved btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The doctor at Eugenix did tell me that their isn't enough data yet to show that PRP works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Pyrat Posted February 27, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted February 27, 2020 I was strongly recommended to get on finesteride after the transplant as well but wa asked not to take any finesteride if I was not already on it before the hair transplant.
