    I don't know your financial situation but if you can easily afford several treatments, then I think it might make sense. I'm 99% sure that people who have a perfect hairline like you, right now, and just an average MPB progression speed, can maintain their hairlines for the rest of their lives. Current techniques like Gho's alone should already be enough to maintain your hairline for the next 10 years. It's quite reasonable to assume we'll have something like Aderans, Replicel or Histogen available in the next 5 years and I'd be really surprised if we don't have the final cure, like Team Tokyo's, in 10 years. So it's just a financial picture in my opinion.

                Those new pictures do present a slightly different picture than the original ones. I still wouldn't say you're a NW2 yet though, more like a NW1.5.

                        either way, get the **** of this website bro....you have nothing to worry about...why? because you are a nw1 and by the time your loss progresses (if it ever does) histogen, aderans and other treatments will be out and donor regeneration or HM will be the gold standard..

                        so go out and have fun and enjoy your life while your young instead of obsessing over something that may be a problem in the future for you...future treatments are going to 'save' you for sure, that is if you ever even need 'saving'.

                            I can afford as many treatments as I need.

                            Though - I am worried about shock loss.

                            I am also thinking - would it make sense to start a 2-5% rogaine anytime soon? If it allows me to prevent further loss for ~2 yrs and possibly even re-grow some, that will buy me a lot more time before having to get a transplant. I am reading pretty good results on the hairline even though it's not approved for it.

                                        I have heard of this many times. You have to stay consistent though. Did you have any sides on it - namely wrinkling? That's about all I'm worried about.

                                            A) Was consistent for a long time then stopped being consistent. So actually if I stayed consistent I probably would've been better off. I stopped using it for a while and loss hair.. and then started up again.. but at this point that hair was gone so it didnt do shit.. so I stopped.

                                            Not using it now.

                                            No sides. Used Foam.. unstinky kind. And yeah it kept my whole hairline intact for a long time. Yes it works on hairlines.

                                                Yes.... with nizoral. But i use t-gel now cause i noticed it worked better than niz and I kept getting red patchy dryness weirdness.. on my face too.. i think it was sebheorric dermatitus.

                                                t-gel nukes that shit. so much better.

                                                    Sweet. I think I'm going to try it - probably start next month or so and try & hold on to what I've got. I'm tired of being turned away from things that can save my hair due to a *FEW* people having bad side effects. Never know til you try I guess.

                                                    So unscented foam? I've heard the liquid is better in terms of absorption but I would hate to use the liquid.
