    Capillus vs Blueprint 302 laser caps?

    Thanks for the tip, Jakejr! I looked into the Hairmax 272 and it does seem much more affordable, especially on the secondary market. However, I'm trying to figure out if there's a "catch" with the price gap. Capillus and Blueprint 302 are sitting at over $1,200 (or €1,200+ here), which is...

    Capillus vs Blueprint 302 laser caps?

    only a list of advertisemens in this forum, no personal stories?

    Hi, I thought in this transplant forum I´d find mostly specific stories written by customers who did the transplant, and feedbacks to doctors, but it looks like. a list of advertisemens from just a few clinics, in fact there are always zero replies. It´s useless this way. Pity .

    minoxidil all over the head

    Hello, As far as I understand it is advised to apply Minoxidil just on the alopecia area at the top/back of the head, noted. But why not the rest of the head and hairline? If Minoxidil stimulates the follicles , why it would not stimulate the follicles of the hairline / forhead hair? thank you!
