The truth is that NOBODY can give you a solid answer to this question unfortunately as the there is no way to tell if this 'treatment' is a k-channel inhibitor. If it is then most likely the same advice as minox would be given. i wouldn't worry at all about the ht. Im sure your just over analysing. What Dr did you go with and what price range did you spend if you don't mind me asking??

Yeah I don't think going after DHT is the way to go. To block DHT effectively you have to cut down testosterone am I right? They've already done that, it's called propecia and it turns you into a woman. I think we just have to look past whats become the most identifiable problem and find new treatments that work around it. And it does seem like there are people out there (histogen, aderans, trx2 [possibly]) who are working on some promising stuff.Comment

Hey Danbob,
For my procedure I chose Dr. Konior, who is a Coalition Member. He is one of the finest surgeons out there (from the results that I have seen). I consulted with him and spent about 1 1/2 hours on discussion and concerns. The cost of the procedure was $9,800 (or some odd change) for 2,000 grafts. However, he recommended stick and place method because of my minituraized hairs (he was performing frontal third and some midscalp - non-shaven) which cost a bit extra so the total was $11,000.
I've been on TRX2 since the transplant so hopefully nothing effs with it.Comment

Dont mean to put the damper's on it Deluxe, but i'd stay off the TRX2 personally if i was in your position. It's unknown, and so far from my experience (early days i know, two month's) It's actually either doing nothing much or making my hairline worse. I wouldn't risk it.
Just my opinion.Comment

That was a concern, but I talked to the DOC and he said that he doesn't believe this will impact anything since its natural. Furthermore, I am actually seeing growth of the grafts and I'm 1 month and 10 days out...I'm assuming this is normal? I know post-op they were saying, "don't be surprised if you dont see any growth of the grafts for 3 months or even longer". Everyone is different, but I think that the Docs tend to be very conservative and underplay the growth...better to give a longer timeline and surprise the patient with earlier growth than to say one month and nothing growing. It would probably freak the patient out and make them think it was a failed HT.
JCM, I think you should stop worrying too much about your results...it has only been 2 months. You are not even 1/2 way thru the treatment. Hell, it may take you the 8 months they claim. Not saying that its going to work for sure, but IF it does you'll notice. If I were you, I would try not to look at your hair so often because you will never see a difference day to day and it will seem like its taking forever. Just relax and enjoy the ride.
And look, if you need a bit more comfort, there is some buzz going around about Dr. Gho recently who has published an article and won a lawsuit concerning a transplantation method in which donor hair remains infinite (a 2 for 1). If this procedure is for real, we effectively have a CURE. Interested?

You're right there, i do pay way too much attention to my hair. But seeing it vanish slowly does spark an interest! And, early day's, i am in it for a few more month's yet, so shall buckle up and enjoy the ride for better or worseThat was a concern, but I talked to the DOC and he said that he doesn't believe this will impact anything since its natural.
