There are no hairloss treatments.

From the pictures i've shown in this thread, what Norwood would you guys say I am? Ignore the AA spots and look at the MPB pattern and receded hairline and go from there please. Obviously the AA spots make it look worse.

NW 3.2?

edit: have you tried sulfazine for AA?

[PatientlyWaiting]

No, i've never heard of that.

Hmm, I googled NW3 in images..those guys look a lot more advanced than me, and they all seem to have a very strong M shape as a hairline.

Twenty-two of 26 patients completed the study. Overall, results showed that 68.2 percent (15 of 22) of patients responded to therapy with 27.3 percent (six of 22 patients) and 40.9 percent (nine of 22 patients) demonstrating a complete hair re-growth and a partial hair re-growth, respectively.

AA has so many treatments... I would definitely try doing something

mhm I don't know then... you look like a low NW3 to me

I've gotten corticosteroids injections, use topical clobetasol. The injections gave me partial regrowth, like half. But not full regrowth.

I'm not good at telling NW's, so maybe you're right, i'm a NW3. But what google images show as an NW3, is not what I see in my pictures. I don't have an M-shaped hairline.

Where can I get Sulfasalazine? My dermatologists have never told me about this treatment. Is it out for AA?

doctor's don't know jack... why do people even go to them? Whatever they learned 20 years ago is outdated and irrelevant right now.
As soon as technology comes up with a thing that "tests your blood" over the internet, doctors won't be needed at all.

anyways, sulfazine is also popular among arthritis people so I'm sure some online pharmacy must sell generics of it or something. Google -> buy sulfazine

[PatientlyWaiting]

About MPB, I learned that myself, doctor's don't know much about that.

About AA, the only treatments they have put on is, steroid injections, clobetasol ointment, and Protopic ointment. Only the injections partially worked.

[PatientlyWaiting]

I don't know about buying it from an online pharm. I put in search, in the pharmacies I do trust, and they don't have it.

[yeahyeahyeah]

Dr ferundi (SP?) has got back to me 1800 - 2200 grafts to lower hairline.

[yeahyeahyeah]

Apparently I have good donor area.

[BaldinLikeBaldwin]

that's a lot of grafts for a relatively small area...how many grafts can usually be taken from the average donor area, isn't it around 6-7k?

How much will that cost?

So you only want to lower your hairline? Why not start from the back, in the vertex? It's gonna look weird when you start going thin on top. Start from the back and work your way down the hairline, with 2-3 HT's. If you can afford it of course.

Im not thinning behind the hairline.

[PatientlyWaiting]

Yeah, I know, that's why I said when you start thinning back there. If you have MPB and aren't taking fin, you'll thin in the vertex and middle eventually. But i'm sure you'll just get HT's there when it does happen right?

Hopefully better treatments are out by then, plus - aren't there many cases where guys receed a bit and then it stops?

Pierce brosnan, Gary oldman, John terry, Jordan knight being examples of this?
