thanks sublime, your advice sounds very reasonable and might save unnecessary expenses that we all might need now since Christmas is coming soon ;-).

Would be interesting to know how many hair transplant operations we need on average.

gillenator, do you have 4 (parallel) scars from 4 surgeries then? I can't imagine that you still can hide something big like this. Or am I wrong? Apart from that I thought that 3 strips would be the utmost as the flexibility of the scalp is limited.

in other words - eg. pharmaceutical companies nor any other, eg. with Propecia competing company wouldn't do any (extensive) research on, say, herbal hair growth substances simply because they believe there isn't any prospect of making profit out of it - despite a multi billion market as...

...so, in terms of the initial question - there should be any clinical studies then, or?

How can a patient know when he has lost enough hair to make transplants worthwhile without worrying about further loss causing poor end results?

any examples for that? For example Propecia, is it based on natural remedies?

I fully agree that people are lazy and don't want features that make a forum more complex to navigate. However for exactly the same reason I believe that there are many users out there - in particular the less knowledgeable ones - who don't want to spend hours and hours scouring through...

IMHO it would be so much more convenient for us users if we rated posts (eg. with stars) in this forum - eg. the more stars we give the more valuable the post would be. This way it would help everybody massively to save a lot of time and to concentrate on posts that really matter. Or...

thanks for the link to the FAQ. It's definitely a good primer. As for my initial question, I think I best start a poll as outlined earlier. Would be great to further enhance the quality of this estensive forum.

Where can this HairLossTalk.com FAQ be found ? The only FAQ I know of is the one at the header of the forum and which talks about technical stuff (login, preference, formatting issues etc.) and which you surely are not thinking of. Apart from that - since there are literally thousands of postings it...
