Re: Decided I'm going the hairsystem route after meds..
Cassin, I think you are beyond the age of worrying about aggressive hair loss. I think you are the point in your life that the meds you are using will help you maintain or thin out at a very slow pace. I will have to agree that hair systems definitely seem like a better option as far as giving the best coverage versus a hair transplant. I know a guy who is in his 70's who wears a great wig and everyone knows its a wig and he can care less. I even know its a wig and I even say its looks good. I think if you pick a good style that complements your looks, you can get away with it. It will give the illusion of having a full head of hair and will fool alot of people who don't pay close attention to detail like we do. I never knew Travolta wore a wig all these years until I became obsessive with hair and learned how to spot a wig. Before, I never really paid attention and I worked with this guy and never knew he wore a wig until his staff pointed it out. I still could not tell even when they told me.
I was all ready to get a hair transplant this year or next year but now I am just not sure anymore even though I have seen some amazing transformations. However, I went to a hair transplant Doctor recently and he told me not to get one as he thinks Propecia and minoxidil should be enough to hold on to what I have along with PRP. He said with new things in the future, I will still be able to maintain enough that I would not need a hair transplant.
Recently, I have noticed more people are taking more non-invasive means to keep young looking. Instead of cutting up you face or eyelid areas, people are relying on botox and fillers instead to avoid the knife. I think we may see alot more people look in to hair systems instead of getting a hair transplant as they improve and become more undetectable. I think if they can come up with an easy to apply system with easy maintenance and very natural looking, more people would try that route if they don't want the shaved look. However, wouldn't you have to shave part of your hair to wear the hair system?
