Bill - Seemiller Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Marky, Welcome to our community. I have found that it is best to chart your progress with monty pictures. Be sure to take pictures of your hair loss condition now and then monthly for comparison purposes. We'd love also for you to post your monthly progress pictures on this forum. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Markymarc1981 Posted December 7, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 7, 2007 Wow it's a lot worse then I thought. I didn't know the crown was this bad. I just hope Fin can bring back what time has taken away from me. Anyway this is week 1 of Fin. I'll take new pics once a month and let you guys be the judge. I'm definitely getting a HT in Spring. I'm going to see Dr. Seager and Dr. Jones. I appreciate any feedback on these two doctors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member notgoing2gobald Posted December 7, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted December 7, 2007 A propecia journal that is a good idea. Have not seen one of these on here ever. This will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Marky, Often times we don't see the top of our heads, so taking pictures from the top really shows the reality of the situation. Stay on propecia for at least a year assuming you aren't experiencing any side effects to see if it, at the very least, slows down or stops your hair loss, and hopefully regrows hair. For your information, Dr. Seager has sadly passed away. See more on this story here. When selecting a hair restoration physician, be sure to select among those who have a proven track record of consistent positive patient results. I recommend our Coalition physician who have a stellar reputation for performing first-class hair transplant results. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Markymarc1981 Posted December 8, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 8, 2007 Wow I had no idea. That is sad indeed. So it looks like he's been replaced by another doctor. Dr. Mckenzie. So what are the opinions on Dr. Mckenzie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Mark, You can read our Publisher Pat Hennessey's review of Dr. McKenzie by viewing (Tour of leading hair transplant clinics in Ontrario Canada). See also hair transplant photos from Pat's visit with Dr. McKenzie. I hope this helps. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Markymarc1981 Posted December 8, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 8, 2007 What a wealth of information. This site is unbelieveable. I'm going to visit Dr. Mckenzie and Dr. Robert Jones. Since they are close to my home and come highly recommended. I'll make my decision after the consultations.

Senior Member Byehair Posted December 9, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted December 9, 2007 marky, you might try a consult with Dr. Rahal Better results than Jones in my opinion. Also he is not too far (Ottawa) from you. I am assuming from your name that you are about 26 years old. Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Markymarc1981 Posted December 9, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 9, 2007 Yes I'm 26. Ottawa is about a 4 hour drive away from where I live. Is it worth the drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Mark, Dr. Rahal's online reputation is stellar and you can see what a number of his patients are saying by doing a simple "find" on our hair restoration forum community. Consulting with him at anytime would be great however, I personally would give the Propecia and Rogaine at least 1 year before considering hair transplant surgery.

Senior Member MrJobi Posted December 10, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2007 Rahall has some GREAT results on here. I would surely touch base with him. JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations. I am not a doctor. Total - 5621 FU's uncut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Markymarc1981 Posted December 10, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 10, 2007 I'll stay on the fin for 6 months to a year before doing the HT. But I heard Fin is not very effective on a receeding hairline??? My crown is in pretty good shape for 26 years old, so my hair line is my main concern. I'm still going to visit dr. jones and dr. Mckenzie to further my knowledge. Consultations are free so I have nothing to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Marky, There is a mixed bag of opinions on whether or not finasteride or even minoxodil will work on the hairline. In my opinion, I believe they can be effective hair loss treatments in the hairline, just as much as the crown. Of course, how effective they are depends on the level of hair loss and how far gone these miniaturized hairs are. But it doesn't hurt to try.

Regular Member Markymarc1981 Posted December 11, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 11, 2007 Thanks for the info. I'm going to visit Dr. Mckenzie tommorow. I want his opinion. So i'll let you know what he says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
