Regular Member Patro1995 Posted April 6, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted April 6, 2022 Hi, I am a year after the transplant, currently I use ;essence; shampoo from Italy with saw palmetto and I also eat tablets with palm, I am moderately satisfied with the effect. mainly I am afraid that the center of the head will fall out, because I had only the bends transplanted, I am also afraid of finasteride because I am a neurotic and I had depression, and I know that it can affect my condition, I want to improve the quality of hair and these spaces, what I can do best in this moment? I know that I have dht above the norm. thank you very much for the advice and please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member LaserCaps Posted April 6, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 6, 2022 Finasteride, (now available as a topical solution), Rogaine, (also available in pill form), PRP and Laser are the modalities we refer to when dealing with this condition. If you are not considering one, for whatever reason, you can rely on the other ones. These work in different ways and are thus synergistic when used at the same time. If you've lost, you will continue losing and make thing worse. You may want to consider SMP. It would help minimize the contrast between the color of the hair and the scalp and it would buy you time to decide what to do. Patient Consultant for Dr. Arocha at Arocha Hair Restoration.

Senior Member MAIZE1694 Posted April 6, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 6, 2022 You may start on low dose fin 0.25mg for a few weeks and see how you react. You can always stop. Even 0.25mg will help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MachoVato Posted April 6, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 6, 2022 Maybe topical finasteride would be better choice. I've never heard of anyone with side effects from topical.

I've never heard of anyone with side effects from topical. many people get sides on topical finasteride because most formulations have significant systemic absorption A lot of those who use topical without sides because of fear rather than personal experience probably would have been fine on oral.

Senior Member RTC Posted April 7, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 7, 2022 The top looks almost exactly like mine... Sparse hair and low density, and hairs implanted at the wrong angles on the sides so the hair ends up sticking up.

Senior Member Britanium Posted April 7, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 7, 2022 Here we are again, as we have all mentioned before, consider Fin in either of its forms (Oral/Topical) or just realise you will continue to lose hair. Obviously your transplanted hair should be fine. We have also repeatedly said you should seek another hair transplant if you want a better result. Absolutely nothing else is going to be of any benefit to you. It seems like you’re looking for natural density, which will never happen. At best a hair transplant is a good “illusion” of hair. If you look through all your previous threads we have given you this information over and over again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Patro1995 Posted April 8, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 8, 2022 everybody writes topical, I did homemade, I mixed minoxidil with finasteride in tablets, I used it for a month but I stopped, I don't know if it works, but a lot of people do it, it's hard to buy topical in my country, there is one called "polaris" there is finasteride and monoxidil 12 percent and very expensive and lasts for a month. What do you think about saw palmetto, I eat tablets and I have a shampoo supposedly to block dht? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey man I would STRONGLY suggest you not to take any finasteride or saw palmetto even WITHOUT depression. Since you do, you are even more at risk of having permanent side effects. I replied to another guy who wanted to take it on this forum you can see my reply via my profile I believe. I only created this account to reply to you and a couple of others so I probably won't see any DMs for awhile sorry. I'll try and remember though. Long story short I've seen multiple people who used it who have been permanently destroyed by it. It's not a myth side effects happen much often than we are told and are permanent much more often. Damage can be extensive thorough the whole body including damage to penile tissues. There are MULTIPLE reports of Saw Palmetto doing the same and wrecking the endocrine system and causing severe permanent depression. Do not take it. The effect it will have if any is not even close to worth the risk. Best of luck If anyone doesn't believe me or has taken it and they are fine I'm not interested in hearing it respectfully. I only came to this forum to help these guys and I've seen too many victims of finasteride that are still suffering five years later for anyone to tell me it's not real. Everything I know has been scientifically proven as well as verified by my own experiences seeing bloodwork tests and symptoms of these men. It's real. I wish it wasn't. Even topical, even quarter dosing. One pill has been enough in some cases. Go on propeciahelp.com if you don't believe me. All the symptoms on there, every single one I've seen in real life. If you can't see my longer more detailed reply on the other post DM me Best of luck I truly do mean that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
