Hair Transplants: this is art. *amazing*
I've straight up decided I'm not letting my hairline get in the way of my geared fitness / athletic pursuits. For those in the same boat as me - I am thoroughly convinced you can have your cake (gear) and eat it too.
Note: I am only thinning on the hairline, not the crown.
I used to dump plenty of dollars into hair 'treatments' - it's simply not worth it if you do the math. I'll use Nizoral and Minoxidil with AA but I'm not dropping $68 a month on Propecia - and I'm skeptical on how real the 'research' finasteride really is.
Many don't want to look into a transplant because of the price tag - but mindlessly drop hundreds on haircare a month.
Hair restoration as come a long way. It is permanent, safe and not noticeable if you get a top surgeon.
Check these out.

minimum $3000
propecia for a year ($50-60/mo.) ~$700, limited results.
the key is a good surgeon - most are in the same price range anyway. Just avoid Bosley or MHR even if they promise a smaller price tag.My Little Site about Hair Loss & Anabolics-

Word of warning: you rapidly lose natural hair after the surgery.
In other words, right after the surgery you'll instantly look a lot better. However, you will shed rapidly over the next couple weeks; so a month or two after surgery you'll look even worse than before surgery. Many experience regrowth of that lost hair gradually, others don't.
For the ones that don't, you either need to have additional surgery later, or you cimply live the rest of your life with thin hair.
Btw, the first picture doesn't look like the same guy. If it IS the same guy he lost weight, got a nose job, had a face lift, and got a slight tan, and colored his hair. - 11-14-2005, 01:09 PM
you can get generic propecia from overseas distributors, usually called finpecia. Something like 120 bux or so for a years supply. I only use .5 mg, so I only pay 70 bux for a years supply.

I personally know 2 guys who used Bosley and had great results. Neither one experienced any increased hair loss after the treatment. They are now 3 years and 4 years out from the surgury.
IMO 3K is on the low side. It all comes down to price per plug. The more ya pay the more ya get.

I've never heard that, Null. I remember reading that the newly transplanted hairs will fall out, but regrow. I also read that they use a laser comb type of device to prevent this from happening.

the method that most are adopting today leaves no scar.
I'm not sure about the procedure you are talking about but with FUE/FIT you will not look better right after - it takes 4-5 months for the transplanted hair to grow in. During that period there is some shock loss around the area that you had work done - that hair regrows
this is my understandingMy Little Site about Hair Loss & Anabolics-

Right now I use:
Finasteride 1mg/day
15% minoxidil + 5% Azelaic Acid 1x per day (morning)
5% minoxidil + 5% Azelaic Acid 1x per day(evening)
Nizoral 2% 3x per week
Laser Brush 2x per week
Average cost works out to be about $50 a month - and that will get lower once I can source bulk minoxidil and azelaic acid. Built the lasercomb for $40 and change.
Not that I dont think Hair Replacement Surgery isnt a good option, theyve made great strides in the past few years. But with the 'stack' of treatment options I use my AGA is rapidly regressing, and those thinning spots on my head are slowly filling in.
Of course, people see varying results...and I dont know how safe it is to apply chemicals to your head 2x per day for the rest of your life, either. I usually take a couple weeks off every few months to give my skin a break.

If mine ever got where i think i needed it id get a hair transplant. Hell Governor Schwarzenegger did and his looks ok. btw he has a lot of money so he can "touch it up" whenever he wants too
I think BV is right on the trying the first stack. - 06-16-2006, 08:59 AM

I am not sure I would ever do such a thing. I mean I know some guys are extremely touchy about their hair or loss there of.... but I say Fcuk it.... shave the damn thing and save yourself $3k at the minimum. What is the big deal?

Pay the extra money and keep your own hair. My hair thinned out at a young age due to heart medication. I have fairly thin hair but you can only notice it's thin in direct, bright sunlight. Even then, AND THIS is the kicker for me, it's STILL thicker than people's hair after transplants. So that made me decide to just do whatever I can to keep my own hair. Even if it costs more..
I WON'T look good bald. Some people do. I don't think I will.. If I ever get to that stage, like mentioned above, I'll compensate with, ahh, 24 inch arms.
Where do you get 2% Nizoral? I only see 1% in stores... - 06-16-2006, 11:36 AM
