    - 500 grafts per temple to fill in (1,000 grafts)
    - Lower hairline which should be about 20cm (20 x 35 grafts = 700)

    I'd like to go for about 2,400 grafts though and fill in areas behind my CURRENT hairline, just in case recession continues.

    Cost for 1,800 grafts is $13,268.29 CAD
    Let us know how it goes. Good luck, bro!

      I'm from Ottawa and pass through Toronto a few times a year. We should meet up with Hellouser and compare notes.

        I am a bit reluctant to just send in pictures. In my consultations with top FUE Docs in the States, they have told me that my donor in pretty thin, can only yield 3000-3800 fue grafts and I am headed towards NW 6 land. Thus Gho is really my only option now....
        I sent pictures, including ones all the way back when I was 23, and lots of discussion via e-mail. I'm fairly fortunate, my donor is pretty thick. At least, I think...

          I'm hoping to keep it down to $12.5 to 13k.

            How about just concentrating on one area: crown or front. I mean, would you prefer either an awesome hairline or an awesome crown, with still plenty of donor hair left, or will you go for an unimpressive NW1 with some moth-eaten donor?

Dr. Mousseigne is looking for a doctors in the USA and other countries to practice his technique...also Dr. Cole is going to see Dr. Nigam and if his donor doubling is as he describes...than this whole thing is "essentially" over...because he claims 100% regen with donor doubling.

              Not to mention.....if everything went perfectly with Replicel and Follica (granted this is a small chance) we could have the cure by 5 years.
              I hope your right man. For now Im only on Nizoral and Fin, would never touch mino...praying something better will come out cause I know finasteride won't help forever.

                  I do plan on only concentrating on the front. However, I do like to keep the long term in mind. Sides recede, the back recedes...it would be stupid in my opinion to blow it all on the front and have nothing left in reserve.....but that's where a scar free procedure and regeneration come into play. If it wasn't for the benefits of Gho's procedure, I wouldn't consider surgery.

                  Also, my donor has been examined as having almost all singles and doubles, so the drawbacks of Gho's procedure don't really affect me.

                            I like hearing you talk about fin because it makes me see some with success and its not all bad shit.

                            im scared but i might have to take it sooner than later

                              As they say, you never know unless you try. If you've got mild hair loss, you may be able to get by with microdosing it - say 0.25mg/daily.
