Thanks for your insights guys. I know it doesn’t really show on the photos but the frontal part is way worse than when I started, believe me! And it looks like it got worse faster than if I had not been on fina. I know regrowth with finasteride is only a bonus which occurs only for very few...

Thank you guys for your comments! Me neither but while doing some research on this forum I saw a few posts reporting something similar, usually around the same period (8-10 months). As you said it might only do that on hair that's already dead, but still, it's the opposite of regrowth!

I went to Brussels a few weeks ago for a consultation with Dr. ********. Here is the report (translated from French): Donor area has a density of 70/90 FU per cm2, which is better than average. No miniaturization (I don’t know what it means…) NW4V Recommendations: Keep the forehead’s hairline...

Thanks for your help guys. I'll contact a few surgeons and will post updates.

Hi everyone, I'm 35, I have been losing my hair for over a decade now. All males in my family are losing their hair pretty aggressively and, from what I can see, if I don't do anything I'll probably end up with a NW7. I have been using Minoxidil 5% since almost the beginning and I believe that...
