I will not vouch for the contents of this video, but worth looking at if you have PFS. One poster on Reddit said his PFS was cured following the advice given in the video
There is some miniaturization but it is around 20% which generally is not considered significant miniaturization. For a female, I would be interested in the views from both the back of the head and about one inch above the ears as FPHL has significant miniaturization above the ears as well as in the back of the head.
I took fin for 11 days, stopped because i was afraid of the sides. Then four days later i tried to have sex with my gf, but i couldn’t get it up at all. After some days it went back to normal. But some weeks later i tried to have sex again, and my penis didn’t get up. I had this on my mind before the act, so that may have been the case. We had sex later that day, and i felt better, and the next day we had sex three times.
I maybe suffer with PFS? Going to an neurologist soon. I have also tried a quarter pill of viagra, but that doesn’t help much. Is this just me overthinking?
Yes, you are focusing too much on your penis and performance. That, by itself, can give a man ED.
Body hair can be used but each body hair part has different characteristics that you must be aware of, particularly growth cycle. Beard hair is similar to scalp hair in its growth cycle with a long Anagen phase and a short telogen phase. It is, however, more curly and course possibly than your scalp hair. Arm, chest, and leg hair has a very short Anagen phase and a long telogen phase which means that much of the hair will not grow longer than 6-8 months and ‘sleep’ for 5-6 months so its value will be less in terms of length. These hairs are also finer and often do not have the appearance of normal scalp hair when they grow out. ?Pubic hair of course looks like pubic hair but works well as does underarm hair with its sweat glands.
I have been using finasteride for a year and my shedding had only increased. I thought that because I am young finasteride would be enough but I don’t think so now. My scalp has become more itchy, inflamed and red. All the dermatologists I have visited don’t know what it is or what to do. They have already tried nizoral, topical steroids, anti fungals, antibiotics but nothing has worked. I am going crazy from the itching and shedding, so I am hoping you can help or give advice.
So my questions are: Is this inflammation preventing finasteride from working? Would you recommend switching to dutasteride? What should I do now because my Gp has given up?
I hope you respond please, as I am getting desperate now.
I am not smarter than your dermatologists. If the shedding continues on finasteride than I might think that you are balding and finasteride is not controlling it. If I were to see you, I would start off getting a HAIRCHECK test on you to see how much hair loss you have had (hair must be long). That would give me data points on the hair loss and from there, based upon the test results, I would have an indication of you and the degree of your balding and if so, what pattern you might be developing. What is your age?
The best way to reverse this beard transplant is to use an FUE hand unit and remove them one at a time. Beard transplants are shallow and should be easy to remove this way
Hair systems never look good, IMHO. I know a guy who makes a lot of money and went very detailed on hair system versus transplant and explained very well why he got the system and it’s the first thing I notice every time I see him. Yeah, I know he has it and I can’t unsee it. So that creates a bias, but even if I didn’t know there is no way I would think it’s hair.
Some transplants look terrible, too, especially when I see one on UK celebs for some reason. A lot of unnatural looking hairlines. But I’ve seen a lot of good natural looking transplants, too. Micropigmentation looks good but only for a very specific style.
When hair transplants or SMP is performed in the right hands, it looks natural. The key is to get someone who knows what they are doing. You wouldn’t say Elan Mush’s hair transplants looks bad, would you?
I found this article in a Sports Medicine Journal from the Editor: https://journals.lww.com/cjsportsmed/Citation/2010/05000/Creatine_Supplementation_and_DHT_T_Ratio_in_Male.13.aspx
Frankly, the answer is not clear to me
If the hairline is maturing and there is no genetic balding, there should be no shedding
This is an interesting hypothesis that finasteride might reduce the symptoms and possibly severity of Covid 19 symptoms
I was thinking, is it possible to ask doctor to use some kind of lasers or whatever to actually remove some of DHT sensitive hairs before making hair transplant so you would make bigger hair transplant and pay more but it would take a lot longer for any further visible hair loss? ie. if you are nw3 is it possible to ask doctor to make you nw 4-4.5 and transplant hair into all those bald spots?
It makes no sense to remove hair to get hair. Leave it there and any good surgeon knowns how to transplant you with the existing hair present.
I have about £2 to 3000 to spend and I thought it might be worth investing in a new head of hair. I’m 27 and rapidly losing hair. I’m comfortable with a shaved head but I actually would like the option of growing it out. Are there any clinics or websites that people recommend? I know going to Turkey is much cheaper but will that mean compromising on quality? Will I be able to shave my head in the interim period where my hair is going to be growing out? I actually applied to qunomedical but I was put off a bit with how much they whatsapped and called. I felt they were trying to pressure me when I just wanted the time to think about it as it’s quite a substantial investment.
I just met with one of my patients who had a cheep hair transplant done 10 years ago and now is fully fixed and done. For a few years he hid with a hat on his head, ashamed about his appearance after getting a very inexpensive hair transplant at a clinic he found. He spend more money fixing it by a long shot than if he ever did it right the first time, but he was lucky because they didn’t destroy his donor area as many of the cheep Turkey clinics do. Be smart about a hair transplant. Would you try to find a cheep heart transplant surgeon when you have one ‘crack at the apple’?
Can i get a hair transplant and take steroids at the same time while taking medication to prevent further hair loss? This is a subject you must discuss with your hair transplant doctor. Bulking up with steroids just causes more hair loss. Why do a hair transplant and lose hair at the same time?
This is a very impressive post. Dr. Lorenzo (Spain) is using beard hair to fill in areas of DUPA. Beard hair is like scalp hair as it has a long growth cycle. Very impressive results.
22 y/o here with rapid mpb. i’m already too far gone for a hair transplant to look halfway decent so am looking into some alternatives. i rocked a buzzcut last year and thought it was ok but for my wildly receeded temples so smp has caught my eye but there are also some incredibly good hair systems out here. ideally, i want to not have my hair bother me anymore and have a frame to my face for my 20s! what do you reckon?
There is a huge difference between a hair system which requires annual maintenance, daily maintenance and social adjustments to get what looks like a full head of hair. With good hair systems, the look is a good as if you never lost hair, just like with a good hair transplant. With SMP, however, you have to determine if you want the look of a shaved head of hair with no actual hair. It has the advantage of minimal maintenance once it is done, but it is not hair. The good news is that if you have SMP done, you can always switch to a Hair System or a Hair Transplant. It is a personal choice.
