Hello, I’m researching different surgeons in my area and Rahals name came up. His website has impressive testimonials but I was wondering if anyone here would like to share their experience with him.

I’ve only been on 1mg. I never increased or decreased. I stopped it entirely recently. I’ve been on it for over 6 months and my hair loss has never accelerated so fast. I was hopeful it was just the initial shedding period but that hair never came back. Now I’ve no choice but to find a surgeon.

I think the hair I already had has gotten thicker, but the hair loss continues and has worsened. In my original post I mentioned I’m taking oral 2.5 minoxidil but I’m actually taking 1mg once a day. I’m going go start taking it twice a day and add finasteride once a week and titrate slowly since...

Is it a positive thing? I haven’t seen new growth yet and it’s been a month or so

I’ve been using 5% liquid minoxidil for many years. It worked very well the first few years and has slowly lost its effectiveness. This last year the hair loss picked up so I decided to switch to 2.5mg oral minoxidil once daily. It’s been a month and shedding has intensified further. Is this a...

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I’m not sure how much it’ll help because I never had baseline levels before I started finasteride to compare it to. I guess I’ll keep taking it for now and cross my fingers.

Hello all, Im 28 and I’ve been experiencing shedding since I’ve been on finasteride 1mg for 6 months now and it’s concerning. I’m not sure if I should continue. Everyone is saying shedding is a good sign but I’m not seeing hard proof for that. I know for a fact some people respond, some don’t...

I've been considering a transplant for a while and was wondering if anyone has any advice in finding a surgeon in Michigan or Ohio. Every website I visited so far claims they're the best, so it's difficult to distinguish good ones from okay ones from bad ones. I'd appreciate any advice.

So a family member was standing over me staring at the top of my head and observed that I was thinning from my crown. That quickly prompted me to the bathroom where I would take a thousand pictures to verify if I was in fact balding. Ive been on minoxidil for a full 2 years now, and I've only been...

Will do. I used to wet my scalp so it can absorb better but I think I'm already sensitive enough to minoxidil that I'm having these side effects so there's no point in doing that. Thanks.

Good idea. Thanks man. I tried taking it once a day a while back and saw more shedding, so I went back to 2x a day, but now I think I'll just lower each dose to .5mL. I only use it for my temples anyway. Also I did have the dark circles under my eyes too but that went away from drinking more...

Whats up guys I've been using minoxidil since Sept last year and noticed that my face swelled up significantly over the course of using it. Im a very slim guy, so it's not my imagination, the swelling is undeniable. Before using it my cheek bones were pronounced, now everything is just rounded...
