Hello everyone, I've not posted on here for a while but I have in the past. If anyone is interested in my situation you could look up my previous content as I'm gonna try and keep this as relevant.
Gonna try and keep this brief. Had long hair for 20 years, shaved head last August just days after my 30th (not done it again since) and about 6 years of battling hair loss with most of today's treatments. I am currently on finasteride (2+ years), liquid minoxidil twice a day (4+ years), derma rolling every night for last 6 months - going to start derma needling soon, biotin and caffeine shampoos and Nizorol. End.
I'm finally considering a hair transplant, something I never thought I would do. I would appreciate any experienced members advice on what is about to follow. I'm going to the KSL Clinic in the UK on Saturday for a consultation and to meet the surgeon. Travelling abroad is pretty much out of the option. Firstly, does anyone have any knowledge of this clinic or their work? Secondly, the consultant has already insinuated that I might not be suitable for a transplant as I have diffused thinning as apposed to a typical bald patch if you will and has mentioned PRP to me. So, does anyone have any knowledge or opinions of this and how effective is it? I have wasted a lot of money in the past on laser hair therapy and I really don't want to make the same mistake again. Thirdly, I am going to report back here after Saturdays consultation with any new information and I would really appreciate any advice then, or in the meantime.
I will enclose a few current photos just cause I know someone will ask. The white flakes are from the liquid minoxidil by the way.
Sorry to any moderators, I know this is in the wrong section. I'm going to post it in the hair transplant section too but I hope you can understand I need help and guidance on this issue as soon as possible and would appreciate it if in this instance you would leave it in both sections just to give me more of a chance of receiving interest.
Thank you in advance, James.
