I hope not. If its basically slowed down to a stopping point, will I qualify for a touch up now?

    And it definitely is possible to go back to a teenage hairline:

    Someone else posted that, but that is an incredible result. I'm considering getting Gho + Rahal done... not sure which to get first.....
    That someone else was me. I really have researched transplants and have a good idea of what´s realistic, and what´s not. Dr. Keser also seem to do incredible teenage hairlines. He has exceptional yield, plus he only does FUE exclusively.

    Anyway, I think the best results was from Alvi Armani when he still was performing FUSS. I mean check this one out. Pretty sick. It should be noted that the density behind his hairline increased after using Minoxidil and Finasteride. However, the hairline speaks for itself.

    That hairline is a little *too* perfect. Although I'd rather have that than what I got now, but I think the one you posted before is much better.

    Its incredible what some HT doctors can do.....

    And btw I hate how HT places take before photos with different lighting, background, facial expression of patient lol, it annoys the shit outta me
    That guy looked so happy with his new teenage hairline, than again, I would be too!

    I wonder why more HTs are not like that, that result seems like the exception, not the norm.

    If you notice every other pharmaceutical treatment for hair loss (whether topical or per-oral) requires at least once daily dosing. For topicals it's usually twice a day.

    Histogen is a sub-epidermal injection which is ESSENTIALLY a topical.

    Why did they choose this rather weird method of application -- injecting chemicals into the skin -- rather than a topical lotion?
    is it really? If so then that would explain why they're doing injections first - they don't trust people with topicals

    1. Because the yield is pretty inconsistant when you are exceeding 50 grafts pr square centimeter. This is at least the case with ONE treatment. I do believe that yield become more consistant regarding dense packing with multiplie treatments.

    But make no mistakes, the best clinics can get pretty consistant results even with dense packing in one treatment.

    2. Also, many clinics think it´s unethical to make a dense juvenile hairline. The old supply vs. demand issue.

    3. The fear of the hairline becoming "unatural" as the patient gets older. (I personally think this argument is a lot of bullcrap)

    The game will change if Aderans and Histogen report good results in 2013.

    With Gho in the pipeline it is probably a good time to restore your NW1, the only thing stopping HT doctors is donor supply or the balding process accelerating.

    Wishful thinking, my friend. Histogen could work with maintaning, but they are years away. Aderans wonīt work, reallstically. I will not start a Gho debate here, but letīs just say I donīt believe it for a second.

    However, OC seems promising, some users on ************ have reported good effects. But the safety profile is not yet established (topically), and there are very few people who have tried it.

    I say the best approach today is a transplanted juvenile hairline with a hairpiece behind. I will use this approach, and get away from these forums. Of course itīs given that my transplant is sucessful, which is not certain at all.

    Itīs not a perfect solution, but beggars canīt be choosers.

    Depends on your rate of hairloss.

    They guy with the HT earlier for example, my hair is noway as bad as his, and I am 27 now.


    Say you are a NW2, and you receed slowly (yes it happens), with nothing becoming noticable past 30+, you can easily restore you hair and use histogen, which I think will be out in 2015.
