Hair transplant

[Zé Pedro]

Hi, i read this in a hair transplant site and i found it very interesting and true!
It seems that most of you stay medicationg to stop hairloss or gain some hair, if those medications work you have to stay with them for the rest of your life, which i doubt it will work that long...
Imagine, some of you spend about 100$ or € a month to try to regain your hair back, and it's just try cause you dont know if you'll get any results, when you could just make a loan to the bank and start paying monthly the same money you were spending on your medications and get a hair transplant, which would bring some of your hair back, it would work after a few weeks and be permanently, this is, it would be for life, so you wouldnt have to worry about hair loss ever again.
Even if medication worked for life you would have to take for the rest of your life, thats alot of money, some of you are taking so many different types of medications that you wouldnt know which one caused your hair loss to stop or your hair to regrowth so you couldnt stop on some medications so that it wouldnt be that expensive...
I heard something about cloning hairs and something, dont know if it's going to be better but i saw that the price was much higher thatn transplatation of hair...
think about it :hairy:

There is a lot of talk about hair cloning here, and personally I think that is the only way I would ever get a hair transplant, if I ever do, which I doubt.

The thing about normal hair transplants is this: You are left with a big donor scar on the back of your head, so forget about ever shaving your head or cutting it super short. If you get a bad transplant, your hair can end up looking like a dolls hair (lots of plugs, unnatural), and I've seen some that have. Also, you get one transplant now, then as you continue to naturally lose more hair around the transplant area you may need another to fill it in, and on and on. If you don't get another transplant to fill in you are going to look even worse than you would with a normally balding head. Also there is really no good way that I have seen to get a dense head of hair on someone with major hair loss, which only makes sense really. There is only so much hair that can be taken from one place and stuck on another, that is until hair cloning becomes available.

Now if and when hair cloning becomes a reality for the common man, I may revisit the idea. Perhaps by that point I would need it, but for now I'm getting good results with what I'm doing. Generic Proscar and Kirkland Rogaine are costing me nowhere near $100 a month, in fact I think closer to $10 per month total.

I'm not trying to knock anyone that has had or is getting a hair transplant, it's just something that isn't for me, at least not right now.

No..

If you get a hair transplant you still need to take Propecia and apply minoxidil.

So, you can take Propecia without doign a hair transplant

OR

You can get a hair transplant, f*** your head with those scars FOREVER, also take the risk of the hair transplant, and still need to take Propecia forever.

I think mose guys here want to have hair for at elast 10 more years, to be able to know girls, marry and get children.. After that, they probably won't care about losing it.

Other just want to have hair until HM comes out.

Does FUE leave scaring? Or is it just strip?

Do a Google search for "Fincar" (generic Proscar) and check out the prices online. Considering you only use a quarter of a pill a day, it's well under $10 a month. Kirkland Rogaine costs me under $20 for a 4 month supply, I buy it locally at Costco.

Do i need a prescription to buy it on the internet (generic fincar), if i do, how do i send them and since its in portuguese will they accept it?

Usually no, depending on where you order it from. In my opinion you should see a doctor first though, it's always wise to get checked out before starting a new medication. I would get a prescription if I were you, if even just to know that you are ok to take it. I'm not sure what the laws are in your country regarding importing things like this, so I wouldn't presume to guess if it is legal to do so.

Sorry Zé Pedro, but that's not how it works. You need to spend some more time learning about hair transplants and their limitations.

FUE leaves little white marks around the donor area where the hairs were taken...

Unforunately, it's not much of a viable alternative...
It's insanely expensive, too.
