How much hair is enough?

[@juandelacruz3525]

good to hear from you both! Happy Holidays!

Happy holidays!

[@Mark_Trail]

Great channel! I appreciate you guys ❤

I had finasteride side-effects and stopped for 8 years _BUT_ I simply should have *reduced my dose* until symptoms vanished - lost a bunch unnecessarily. As Russell explains; it's better to have _some_ finasteride in your system because even a little has a positive influence over none at all. One subscription will last me the year.

[@GalacticPanther72]

Yeah, even doses as low as 0.1mg has shown to have some benefits

[@JohnSmith-sj2dk]

I had sides with Fin too, tried reduced dose (0.25 mg day) but still had sides, no I use topical RU58841 (eg 400 mg mixed with 60 mil 5% minoxidil) - worked well for me with no sides. I also take 1 drop of 5% minox solution every other day, and do a weekly derma roll (0.75 mm derma pen) .

[@ragnarwillz4115]

What dose were you initially taking and how often? I currently use 1mg on Mon/Wed/Fri for about 2 years and things have been fine for me.

[@Peleski]

I don't understand people who won't take finasteride from the start of early loss (unless it's severe negative reaction). It's so cheap and easy to acquire. I discussed in the 90s when I started taking it with my brother, who couldn't be bothered, and now he's mostly bald and i have mostly full hair. I can't really sympathise, he made his own choices.

[@murranz]

Excellent Thanks

[@kazaakas]

It depends so much on the individual. 40% of native density will look fine for someone with wide diameter hair that likes wearing it short. But 60% native density will not look very good for someone with fine hair who liles to wear it long

[@Peleski]

Long hair looks ratty on most men, few have the volume for it.

[@joses5356]

I had over 15 surgical procedures over the last serveral decades. I was young when i sustained a small burn on my scalp. In the 80's there was only the punch type hair transplant procedure. Long story short my back donor area took a beating. I've been on finasteride for over 18 years and expect to stay on it the rest of my life. Im 61 now and i fear revealing all the damage if i lose my hair. Fortunately no side effects from Fin...take 1mg a day or 3 mg a week.

[@rexneedsoxygen7140]

how did fin work for you for all these years? did it maintain your hair?

[@joses5356]

@rexneedsoxygen7140 has worked great. No loss that I can tell. Still a full head of hair. My dad and siblings had the typical circle on top and receding sides. I've been blessed thus far.

[@mralabdulgader]

Thank you for the video. Could you please tell us what is the typical thickness percentage for new planted bold area that is desirable. In other words will 60% thickness in the vortex make the patient feels he has a full and rich hairline and zone?

[@sheirfrabiea1348]

What is the appropriate age for doing the surgery ?

[@RedBar3D]

I'd be interested in hearing your opinion on how many surgeries one should do. My impression is that people who have 2-3 surgeries end up with much better results than people who only go on the one time.

[@PeterAcrat]

Agreed - but space them over 30-40years; say one per decade IMHO.

[@welfareleech1525]

I've had 5 hair transplants total. 1 FUE and 4 FUT im 39. but now im on dutasteride so u should be good

[@alexbarros8550]

Hi doctors , can someone norwood 6 with retrograde alopecia get a hair transplant and what's the expectation like?

[@welfareleech1525]

no. norwood 6 is too far gone. You would be able to have an FUT but the coverage will be disappointing.

[@davidwilliams1749]

Bimatoprost for hair thickness? I've been on M and F for 3 years happy with the results but want it thickness now can u help?

[@able3198]

I gained almost 1/3 of my hair’s volume in the last year using dutasteride, my hairline area also got thicker and all baby hair grew into normal hair. Somehow this September, I started losing hair crazily, like 200 each shower(no joking at all). My hairline started thinning and receding too. And I started taking another 0.5mg daily but it didn’t help.

[@welfareleech1525]

hair shedding phase. its totally normal and will pass.

[@Mr.WasiHaider]

Shedding is normal especially in the rainy season, stick to the dosage with Dut at least thrice a week.

[@danceswithcomicbooks7733]

Youre having a shedding phase. Stick with it.

[@jenxsj3902]

Hair I don’t know, but there is not such a thing as too much make-up, is there guys? ❤

[@victorcord9100]

i am in sydney and i need a prescription can i visit your clinic just for the prescription consultation? cause in website i saw you are mainly focused in hair transplant anyone have idea about this ?

[@Peleski]

If it's just finasteride, get it from your GP

[@francisantony1358]

Hello doctor, "When I comb my hair or move hair with my hand, my scalp hurts. Can I know the reason for this? I have been using topical minoxidil 5% 2 years. Is the pain due to androgenic alopecia?" Any remedy for the pain?

[@Ibrar-f9x]

What's your experience with minoxidil I have been using minoxidil for 3 months and I am facing hair shading is it normal... And would be your advice for me about minoxidil. ❤ Waiting for your reply 😊

[@spoudaois]

Should not have a transplant if not willing to take finasteride or dutastaride. Probably should be on some Form of minoxidil as well

[@wajero1983]

i think both of you should fix your hair first before preaching others

[@Cormac-jd2kx]

Hair is gay
