Avishek Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 My age is in early 30s and I am from South-Asian subcontinent. But I lived most of my life in middle-east (extreme hot climate) and now recently moved to North-America (extreme cold climate). I am losing significant portion of my hair. I am planning to have a good affordable and reliable doctor to consult with who instead of directly recommending to hair transplant, tries to understand my scalp and then gives appropriate solution. I am open to any suggestion, particularly in Turkey. I am planning to have vacation trip to Turkey soon, so I was wondering, if anybody could share their experiences and doctors that were helpful in drawing out a good solution plan.

First of all start medication (finasteride and minoxidil ) and see how it works...you can also take prp sessions to boost up your grafts and make them a bit thicker ....kindly post your scalp pics so evryone can see your current situation and can guide you accordingly... If you want to try a non surgical procedure than you should look at the doctor who is nearby so you can do frequent visits when required ...

Regular Member Berik Posted April 2, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted April 2, 2023 Don't bother with PRP. It's an extremely overpriced and ineffectual treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your hair isn't going to fall out just because of climate. If there was non medical way to stop hairloss it would be the most popular treatment. Alternative to HT or drugs is cut your hair short. Done right can still look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avishek Posted April 3, 2023 Author Share Posted April 3, 2023 Thank you guys for your comments. I am not hesitant to opt for surgical methods. I was more looking to get some recommendations on doctors who does scalp analysis to know if I have blood issue or something else. Having said, if I have some blood issue or hormonal issue, then even hair transplant wouldn't last long. Any doctor names or medical centres from your experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted April 3, 2023 Moderators Share Posted April 3, 2023 Go to a Dermatologist and tell him/her that you are thinking about having a hair transplant, but you want to check first to see if there could be any other reasons for your hair loss besides Male Pattern Baldness because you don't want to spend a lot of money on a hair transplant and then find out you had some other condition. 3 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a paid forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted April 6, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted April 6, 2023 Yes I would definitely see a dermatologist first as @BeHappy has stated. He or she will probably prescribe medication (such as finasteride/minoxidil, etc). All the best!
