Killer stack for border line baldies

Yes the device is weird looking but then again so is baldness, easy choice.
I'm a random guy to you, but if this treatment starts getting coverage and attention, people who know me personally will possibly see the photo included in a news item and connect the dots.
I just want to know that i will remain anonymous. I put the snaps up as requested in the belief that I could remove them easily if I wanted to.
My sympathies with the forum desperates has been exhausted at this point, I tried to share the treatment, don't say that I never told ya. I wish I never said anything.Comment

Still, the worst thing about all this crap is the fact that youve yet to show ANY before photos, and even if you did, you could easily lie about them as they wouldnt necessarily have to be your own photographs. This industry is incredibly easy to manipulate hair loss sufferers. Arashi himself (i think) said that a lot of hair loss sufferers buy into crap treatments based off of emotions about a product rather than actual evidence... and you havent provided any evidence; NONE AT ALL.
Whats more intriguing is that you now want your pictures removed and u regret trying to help? So let me ask you this: are you really that sincere with your efforts?Comment

I can be neurotic about things so maybe I am being paranoid. I find it reassuring that you think none of this will be taken seriously, that means I won't be humiliated and will retain my anonyminity.
But it's not that unreasonable to think that one of my peers with hairloss would google search for hairloss advice and find this thread and recognise me, is it??
Why are people accusing me of being a salesman, I'm not selling anything!
I got each and every one of the treatments from this forum over the years. I just kept an open mind and a cannons blazing approach. I am the last piece in a significant chain of events. It's tempting to try and take credit for everything but the truth is I got lucky with a combination of other people's contributions including yours hellouser, if it wasn't for your dermarolling community trial I would never have tried that crucial element. If cotsarelis never published his wounding theory there would have been no dermarolling trial. If baldtruthtalk hadn't been set up by spencer we wouldn't have been able to correspond, if aforementioned laser helmet construction instructs had never been published online I never would have added that, if I hadn't clicked links to the other treatments in the stack which came from this forum I never would've added those.
This scenario ultimately led to the current situation, and I felt obliged to give back, which I did. But at this point having weighed up the possibilities going forward I realise I may have been a bit hasty with my decision. Maybe I should have kept it under my hat, I could've proved efficacy relatively easily and set up a clinic, or maybe I should have embraced the fact that I am becoming a Norwood 1 at a time when that's rare enough, or maybe I should've just left the door closed on any sort of possibility that people would find out my identity and enjoyed the anonymity I have wrecklessly put in jeopardy in the emotion of the moment.Comment

Lots of words, very few photos. no pictures= no CNN covering man! lolComment

What exprettyboy has obviously found is a combination that appears to be working for him. It's not that unusual, posters from various sites have had remarkable results from the likes of finasteride and minoxidil. I myself had reasonable, albeit temporary results from laser/minox a few years ago.
Its certainly not a cure as claimed, its just something that is doing well for him and I obviously encourage him to continue with it.
I wouldn't expect it to work for many people however, the fact it works for him is no universal guarantee we will all respond in the same way.Comment

Exprettyboy,
You are taking offense to skepticism. Being a user of this forum for a while now, you can't really be that surprised. You would react the same way if somebody suggested they found the cure for hair loss, but provided no proof. I still don't see how you don't have "before" pics. Every person on this forum treating their hair loss has baseline pics. How the hell else are you going tell if treatments are working?
As far as not wanting to be recognized by the pics you posted. If you truly did figure out the cure for hair loss, why would you even want to remain anonymous? Is it really that embarrassing to be the guy that figured out the "cure", when scientists couldn't even come up with anything for god know how many years.Comment

I have NEVER been interested in "results" that required careful analysis of photos. I was only ever interested in REAL results that I noticed without such scrutiny of photos.
I spent the only money I had as a student on ****ing rogaine and other treatments sacrificing alot of other things I could have spent my money on, I did that cause I could see myself that it helped.
Taking a photo of your hairloss, treating it aggressively for 6 months, then taking another photo thats virtually the same is a depressing prospect that I avoided.
...look I was gonna write another long post defending myself but I have things to do, but in short the other things i wanted to mention were:
-hellouser said even if I did post other pics he wouldn't believe it was me
-photos dont capture texture, strength, the play of light on thicker stuble etc
-I did a good job of concealing my hairloss and the only photos i have i was well prepared for.
-i'm already regretting posting the first snaps
trust me if you've obsessed about hairloss as long as I have and then your hair rapidly responds to treatment, YOU KNOW.
why anonymity?
I don't want to be ridiculed in public for the rest of my life cause i refered to myself as exprettyboy and spent my spare time making weird laser devices and whinging about hairloss on a forum. I don't want people to read my personal posts.
What should I have done? what do you want me to do?
The irony would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.
you visit the forum relentlessly waiting for some real treatment that can redeem you and your life,
and when it comes you ignore it to prove that you're not naive.Comment

Exprettyboy move yourself off these forums and enjoy your life free of all the negative people on here. You won't convince anyone so I wouldn't bother if I was you. This shit will just make you depressed.Comment

Exprettyboy, if you know your stack works, then who cares what everybody else thinks. If you are convinced it works, eff everybody else. Post your information and there will be guys on here that give it a try.Comment
