    Need Advice - hair transplant Results Dissapointing

    The doctor is a member of IAHRS. Do you think the graft count appears aligned with what I paid. I don't see how it's 250/side. Also, the crown graft density seems very sparse.

    Need Advice - hair transplant Results Dissapointing

    Hello, I am now hitting my 1 year mark of my hair transplant. I had a procedure done for a beard and to cover the top. The total follicles I paid for numbered 2200 (1700 for top and 250/side for beard). I also opted to use the ARTAS machine because I had a "one and done" mentality. The...

    Need Fue Advice For Top And Beard hair transplant

    So I'm looking for some advice on which direction I should go with on a beard and crown/hairline hair transplant. I should mention that my beard looks more or less identical on both sides. I have been taking and plan on continuing taking 1.25mg finasteride daily, nizoral, and kirkland minoxidil 5% (topical). Many...

    Propecia or in my head?

    You can find it on the getalife website. It's been 4 days since cessation and I feel like my libido has returned. Everything seems normal now.

    Propecia or in my head?

    I stopped taking finasteride yesterday. Ordered RU58841 ingredients. Gonna make my own per getalife site. Will see how it works. I didn't see but maybe a couple hairs removed from shower. This must have happened to me so gradually. Still, will take RU. Would like to know how long I can expect side...

    Propecia or in my head?

    Lately I've been reading them more and more. Last night was full ED. I'm not really sure I needed to take this stuff to begin with. My balding seems to have taken place over a long time which also makes it difficult for me to evaluate the efficacy. I don't seem to lose many hairs in any one...

    Propecia or in my head?

    I'm very new to finasteride. Have't even finished my 1st month supply (almost done with week 3). I'm having ED, insomnia, and depression but I can't be sure if it's the drug or just me reading these crazy stories here and also the PFS forum and getting psyched out. I've been feeling down about...

    New to minoxidil

    I have been researching products that have been highly reviewed and I've come to understand I seem to have gotten a bit late in the game. The 15% minoxidil and the 5% azelaic acid choices are no longer available. I haven't really read anything about substitutes. Mainly been reading that you can use...

    Should I get surgery?

    Is Dr. Charles somebody whom you would consider a "right doctor?" Was thinking of going there. He is a couple hours drive from me. I was checking out some other before/afters from that link and somebody there mentioned they didn't think he was good. I've read others that have said they are...

    Should I get surgery?

    Why do you doubt that any part of my regimen will not show favorable regrowth? I can travel to a good doctor if I need to. I am in Florida now. Any suggestions?

    Should I get surgery?

    I have recently started taking finasteride but getting freaked out about stories. 10 months is a long time to take "poison." I don't think I've been experiencing side effects too much but then again it may just be in my head after hearing everything about it. I forgot to mention I was going to buy...
