Hello, I’ve been on minoxidil for 4 months, which should tell you I’ve already shedded. I plan to start topical finasteride now (0.025% dose if curious). Will I shed again due to finasteride, or I won’t because I already shedded from minoxidil? Thanks in advance.

I was offered a free FUE scar concealment after the FUT surgery. This is the result 1 year later. I'm guessing that's not a good result. Any advice on what to do now?

If more hair transplants without finasteride and none-minimal minoxidil isn't a good idea, I'm willing to go bald. I know the point of doing an FUE mini surgery on the scar line is to allow for short haircuts in the back, but I'm wondering how short. Since I got an FUE mini surgery to cover the...

You can see how things look with the hair a bit shorter here. 2.5 years after transplant. I was never really happy with my head of hair for much of these last 2.5 yrs. Since I had an FUT surgery of 2806 grafts, and an FUE surgery to cover the scar, can I go for another transplant with good...

kirklandism, while I did research for couple of hrs, I didn't get very knowledgeable on the subject. Thank you for sharing that knowledge. I disagree that the pic my Doctor showed me of the man above is comparable to mines. The other man's hair looks much better. However, looking at the man's...

Pre-surgery, doctor told me results will be similar to this patient. I based my expectations off of that. Thanks.

When eczema was at it's worst. 80% better now.

12-13 months after surgery. Pictures of dry and damp hair (1 with less light). While more hair growth can be seen, it's also clear that my hair is longer here than pre-surgery photos. So that further gives the appearance of less balding, as the barber kept some long strands of hair from the back...

Dear GourmetStyleWellness, I had a 2806 graft FUT hair transplant done about 14 months ago (6/2018) by Dr. Carlos Wesley for $15500. I created 1 other thread here about a yr ago where I discussed who and what transplant method to do. The folks here helped me with that. Now that we have results, I wanted...

Thank you guys. I'm going with the 2nd doctor. I'm scheduled for FUT of 2300-2600 grafts with Dr Wesley in about a month. I'll ask his thoughts on going slightly higher with the grafts. From reading the responses, I get the feeling I should go for slightly more. I prefer FUT over FUE because I...

When I originally saw the title of this thread, I assumed it was someone wanting tips to go bald faster because they didn't like that "almost bald, patchy. thin head of hair" look, and they didn't want to shave it often. I think most agree a bald head usually looks better than an "almost bald"...

@Murkey Thumb @Pequod Thanks for the advice. That is news to me. I spent a good deal of focusing my time looking for good hair loss doctors in or near New York. I figured I'd at least visit 2, which I did to compare. I read a lot of good things about Dr. Carlos Wesley who is one of the doctors I...

@Afro_Vacancy Low end of the normal range for Prolactin. Numbers for last 2 times it was tested: 6.2 ng/ml a few months ago 4.6 ng/ml 2 years ago when new to TRT treatment Whether I had/have significant atherosclerosis or not, from what I've read, I think I'm treating it right lifestyle wise...

@Afro_Vacancy Thanks for reaching out. I was going to reach out soon. I can't remember the dose. I'll get back to you on that by either digging up some papers to find the dose. I never actually asked the 2 urologists, primary doctor, and my testosterone doctor to specifically test me for...

IdealForehead, I'll talk to @Afro_Vacancy. Thanks for caring. I know what you mean. Some guys look for a quick fix but that's not the case. Low T around 200, no more than 300 if lucky. It's embarrassing to think back on it but I'll share. Maybe my story will help some other young man with ED. I...
