    Re: Wuffer's Success - 3 Months finasteride That is major success considering Finasteride really doesn't flex it's muscles until the 8-12 month mark!

    Need help on how to apply Rogaine foam

    It's MUCH easier to apply if you stick your fingers in ice water for about 10 seconds, then dry them. The colder your fingers and the can are, the longer it stays thick.

    Are minoxidil and keto (nizoral) synergistic?

    I would think Nizoral helps Minoxidil absorption. It sure cleans all the sebum off the scalp.

    Does Azelac azid work as a DHT blocker

    I thought Azelaic Acid worked more to help minoxidil absorption?

    Dr. Wolf

    To answer your original question, I used Dr. Wolf twice back in the early '90s. Mind you, this was the era of mini/micrografts, plus he was still in training. He was very skilled even back then. My family doctor (the one I went to for suture removal) said that that was the nicest suturing he had...

    Graft count

    You are just hitting the age where you start losing your juvenile hairline. At first you may think it's male pattern baldness when really you are just going through the same thing 95% of men go through.

    So after 3 1/2 months on finasteride, I see this:

    Your at about the mark that if you are going to shed, it's going to happen now. Finasteride makes miniaturized hairs thicker, and those miniaturized hairs have to fall out to make way for them :punk:

    planning on getting a hair transplant with Umar or Feller.

    You probably just had a maturing hairline. Some mens hairlines mature into a U shape. Your hair looks outstanding!

    4 1/2 months on my 'big 5', absolutely thrilled! **Update

    Re: 4 1/2 months on my 'big 5', absolutely thrilled! (with pics) That is AMAZING my friend!!!! Keep it all up! It looks as good as if you had 6000 grafts.

    23 yo hair transplant with Dr. Rahal (Strip 4321 grafts - with pics)

    lol got the Curly Fine hair when it's all long ;) NBL! That's a lot of grafts in that area. Should be very thick!

    Thinking of hair transplant: Dr. Ilter

    Dr. Cole is alright, but more expensive than most of the other big names. Where do you live? I would go Feller in NY, Lindsey in VA, Charles in FL is outstanding.

    Difference between FUE and CIT?

    Some doctors have their own terminology for FUE. Dr. Cole calls his CIT. It's just his name for FUE so he sounds more advanced :whistle: I have read where he does decent strip grafts but his CIT grafts leave larger scars than other doctors. Hope that helps!

    Piroctone Olamine vs Nizoral

    MrBastard, we must be coming across the same info! I too have read the bad stuff about SLS containing shampoos.

    Should I Switch To Adodart ? Help Please!

    You probably wouldn't even notice the difference in side effects between .5 and 1 mg. If you are worried about side effects then stay far away from Avodart. I've tried it and it is tons stronger.
