    Why do transplants fail (and how often do they fail)?

    I think the technicians have a lot of weight on the success - how they look after the grafts matters a lot, also how long they are sitting on the tray matters to survival rate.

    Suggestions? Keto + LLLT working, can’t do Min, finasteride, or dutasteride

    Sometimes stuff like that works for a time. I kept hair loss at bay for nearly a decade with nizoral and 5% minoxidil once a day, then one day I noticed that regime was no longer working so I jumped on topical finasteride (which to be honest isn't really working well either, been on it 9 months...

    Anyone had a poor result with Dr Turan at Fuecapilar?

    I have looked at some Reddit posts and it does seem like others have have poor results (I ignored those who had a poor experience if they ended up with an acceptable result). The clinic is very hyped up on other forums and Facebook pages which led me to book with them, I realise now that some of...

    Found something that actually works

    If it blows rogaine out of the water then we should all have 2 questions; why might the OP be storing their rogain in water, and if it blows anything anywhere then it may have explosive compounds which shouldn't be put on delicate miniaturising hair follicles. Best be safe and not use it!

    Topical DHT blocker that doesn't have Finasteride in it.

    Hi Cuckthorn, what are the dangers of RU58841? I heard about it around 10 years ago so I guess the issues will be known and reported, do you have any specific info on what to watch for or be careful in what respects? Any insights welcomed as I am also looking for an alternative le to oral finasteride...

    Turkey clinics. How to balance out cost and quality

    Prices in Turkey are rising (exchange rate and significant increase in cost of living in Turkey), and there are many hair Mills who will give you cheap mediocre results that some are happy enough with. If you want a good hair transplant for OK money then guys like Turan and Gur are a good bet. A few years...

    How long can I use Dermmatch after transplant?

    Hi all, I have a question about how long I need to wait after my transplant until I can use Dermmatch. I expect to have a red scalp for 4-8 weeks after the transplant, and also start to shed. I would like to cover the redness and later the shedding using Dermmatch so it is not so obvious to work...

    Is my scalp fat getting thinner or my head getting bumpier?

    Hi guys, I have noticed over three last few weeks that I can feel ridges at the back of my head (crown) and have found a sunken in dip about the size of my index finger pad also. I have been losing hair around my crown for about 8 years and it has progressed with time. I wonder if the fatty...

    What is the best way to show/tell your dating partner that you are bald?

    I suspect you have a far bigger problem with your hair loss than she will - she will have a bigger problem with your awkwardness about your hair than she will about your hair, in fact, she is probably more concerned with her own looks and insecurities than she is your looks - be cool about it...

    Any posts of post transplant after untranslated hair continues to disappear

    Does anyone have any photos (or link to other posts) of someone who has had a transplant to fill in the temples or crown and then the rest of the hair on top was lost leaving only strange patches of hair? This is my concern about getting my crown and temples filled in as I will eventually need...

    Anyone losing more hair after having c0vid?

    As per the title, I had it in Sept and feel my hair is definitely worse all over the top - crown more obviously thinning and hairline seems thinner. Any stories? Any chance it will come back (to my normal balding level)?
