Just an anecdote. Today I went and had my Day 1 follow up with Dr Feriduni and all was well, but I wasn't surprised as the clinic's performance has been absolutely beyond my expectations, 10/10. More to the point, the anecdote is that Dr Feriduni mentioned he wouldn't be there the following...

Some pics I got today. - - - Updated - - - Thanks man, will do. Just uploaded the initial pre-op/post-op pics. - - - Updated - - - Thanks dude. What's your situation? I know it's not gonna be an easy road but after a couple tours in Afghanistan, unless it's gonna kill me I'm just gonna...

So I literally just got back to my hotel after getting 2400 FUE Grafts with Dr Feriduni. I must say, that office runs like a Swiss watch, German car factory, etc. I've been thinking about getting a hair transplant for over 10 years and it's such a relief to be done with all the waiting, worrying, etc. On...

You look fantastic bro! I can totally relate to your previous paranoia. As men, I think it is a double whammy as we feel self-conscious about hair loss and then feel guilty about feeling self-conscious. It wears on your nerves and changes your personality. I can't wait to be able to feel...

I've been giving a lot of thought to getting a hair transplant over the years and I've finally decided to move forward as I've just gotten out of the US Marine Corps after a couple tours to Afghanistan. Good times. I mention that only so you can better understand my perspective and attitude as...

Thanks for the feedback Sparx. I really wish someone had said the same to me when I was younger... Hopefully he can take an objective view of the situation and realize he's being neurotic. I'd bet just about everyone on this site would happily trade foreheads/hairlines/hair with him. I know...

Get on the "Big 3", i.e. Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Ketoconazole ASAP. At your stage I think it could really help thicken up your crown where you appear to have the most thinning. Spiking it is a bad idea in my opinion as I think any styling gels will only exacerbate the appearance of...

I would caution anybody who wants to drop Minoxidil. I dropped it and regretted it immensely after I lost a bunch of hair 2-3 months later. Even if you don't gain much, it's likely its helping to retain what you have. Once it's gone you're gonna have a hell of a time getting it back. If...

Your forehead looks fine dude. I used to have a complex like you did when I was younger and now that I'm balding, I wish I hadn't been such a retard. Man The **** Up (MTFU) and realize that you like fine, it's all in your head. Just look at guys like Paul Newman and Aaron Paul. Both were/are...

All, I quit using minoxidil (Rogaine Foam) for about 3 months. After rapidly losing my hair I quickly realized my mistake and restarted using it. Of those of you who have stopped and then restarted minoxidil, how did it go after restarting it? Any insight is greatly appreciated. To be...

In my opinion Minoxidil is the best thing out there for regrowing hair, even along the front/hairline area. I got solid results in that it thickened my existing hair/grew new normal hair along my hairline, temples, and crown. I was overjoyed, became cocky, and figured I could stop using it and...

Gents, I've seen a number of different products which claim to enhance the effectiveness of Rogaine. Has anybody had any success with any of these? Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback bro! I'll stick to it and keep the faith. All the best! Semper Fi, Sharpe

Gents, Stemming from hubris, laziness, and incompetence; about three months ago I made the mistake of stopping Minoxidil after achieving some fantastic results. I'm extremely mad at myself for doing this as I've pretty much lost what I gained. I am now back on Minoxidil and hope that I can...

I definitely shed when I first started taking Minoxidil. Nothing too crazy but enough to notice. I saw results after about 3-4 months. I didn't really notice real results until about 6 months when peach fuzz became hair. I wish I had pics but I didn't want to get too caught up in my own hair...
