    I'm sorry, but I really fail to see how biotin made your hair grow faster. It only helps if the cause of your hairloss is due to a biotin deficiency. If you're losing it because of mpb it's going to do absolutely nothing.

    It's the same as people treating their alopecia with zink or vitamines. It's a wasted effort.

      Hey Morbo !

      Much to my surprise, biotin does accurate hair and nail growth in my case


      Your assertation is correct though. It does not naturally do so just on its own merit. Assuming you have enough, adding more does nothing at all.

      However, as a society we are increasingly voiding ourselves of natural foods and in my case i was slightly deficient in the B viatamin so when I took the Biotin my nails and hair grew at the rate they were supposed to which was faster than before.

      I am glad you clarified that. Perhaps as we get older we become needy for nutrients and the boost helps. For me it really did boost me up.

        Hey dude. I am not trying to make history here. The 'bald truth' (pun intended) is I owe this forum big time. It introduced me to many good folks and that has helped me cope with my hair loss. My wish is to pay it back by sharing my experience.

        Sure its embarrassing to know at my age I got suckered in by a referral . I had done 25 years of research into hair transplants and thought I knew it all. But I made the decision to swallow my pride and put the thread up.

        I may have known all the nuts and bolts but nobody can know the doctors or how they operate. I wish I had seen a forums like this one. I had to go with the friend who suggested her because she was local, had been there 20 years and had no complaints with the BBB.

        My experience with her was a disaster from a customer service point of view. She shorted me on grafts, tried to up-sell me and ignored me the minute she no longer had to talk to me.

        Her transplant was fine, but my scalp was pink for 5 months.

        As for guys like Dave , you can drive yourself crazy for the rest of your life yelling at guys like that. Do yourself a favor. There is an ignore button. Put him on it.

        There are lots of good folks on here. Dont let him discourage you.

        p.s.

        I have now had a second procedure done and so I am starting a new thread on the new doc. Please put up some photos on your thread so we can see where you are coming from

          I am sorry what happened to you. We all make mistakes but I am telling you that you dont look that bad.

          Does the procedure hurt? Another question I have is how do I block my face out if I put up photos ? I dont want people knowing what my face looks like, especially after what you just went through with that other guy.

            Yes, it does hurt . One of the biggest scams I ever saw with the advertising is how they made it like they were planting a lawn almost. Just sprinkle the seed in there and off we went.

            Its no joke . Its blood and guts surgery. . They either punch holes in your head (FUE) or slice a line across your scalp (FUT)

            Hair transplants are for guys like us who are over the age of 30, and would not meet realistic cosmetic needs from rogaine or finasteride. Hair transplants should only be considered after hair care, diet , lifestyle changes and medications have been tried.

            From what you tell me, I would not consider a hair transplant at all. Go to the forum section on here where they discuss non surgical methods for male pattern baldness.

              Thanks for the tip Drybone. I went to the non-surgical section. I will also put up some photos of my hair. I have read where some guys think a NW 2 is not worth complaining about so maybe I am a NW 3. I will let you guys be the judge.
