Danielkilipan Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) Hello community, my Name is Daniel and i’mForm Germany. I have Hairloss since i’m 19 i guess. Now im 24 almost 25 and i’m considering a hair transplant. At the Moment im not using Finasteride or Minoxidil. Im also considering taking one of those or both. But im not sure about That. im only using saw palmetto daily since 3 months my budget for a hair transplant at the Moment is 5000€ so i cannot afford something like 4€ per graft greetings ✌️✌️ Edited January 26, 2022 by Danielkilipan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahal Hair Transplant Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Daniel, Welcome to the forum. It’s good that you’re here beginning to research your options. Keep in mind that finasteride and minoxidil are really the only proven medical solutions to treat hair loss. Saw palmetto has been said to be an herbal DHT inhibitor however, there is no real proof that it actually works. If it does it’s typically quite moderate compared to finasteride. Of course, finasteride comes with potential side effects whereas saw palmetto typically doesn’t. Regarding hair transplant surgery, you don’t seem to have extensive hair loss at this particular point however, just be careful - because while everyone has a budget, the last considerations for selecting a surgeon should be location and price. Ultimately, selecting a surgeon with a long proven record of producing outstanding results and a stellar reputation is crucial. Going to a surgeon just because they are cheaper or are local is risky and if they aren’t as skilled or experienced, you may end up with results that look quite unnatural requiring a repair procedure which will be much more costly, not just financially but on your limited donor supply. Just be careful in your research and selection process.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted January 26, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 26, 2022 In my opinion, do not get a hair transplant. Medication should be your first line of defense against the fight of hair loss. After 6-months to a year you can revaluate. You may need less grafts, and of course save money. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

Melvin above me took the words out of my mouth (what a legend he is) If the hairloss is stable, you may proceed to get a hair transplant as i am sure you would like a hairline.. nothing crazy and definitely do not lower the hair. When the time comes, make sure to do your research about picking a doctor. For now... be patient and listen to others opinions aswell. You are still young and a whole life ahead of you. Now is the time to make wise choices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
