Introduction | Your opinion | My next steps

[ConfidenceMatters]

Hello all,

Long time reader of the forums, finally decided to start contributing as I reach the decision to do something about my hair loss.

I'm 29, and have been suffering from hair loss for approximately 4-5 years now. I have been supplementing with Minoxidil for this period, with some good success.

The Belgravia Clinic in London diagnosed male pattern baldness, however I decided against their recommended treatment after research. I am not willing to supplement finasteride either, as for me the *potential* effects are too great.

I have had a single consultation with Dr Shahmalak who was able to offer me a quote and treatment in a little under 2 minutes, with no real examination taking place. A mistake and a lesson learned.

I am now considering a trip to either Belgium (Dr Feriduni) or The Harley St Hair Clinic. Any thoughts or opinions on this would be welcome.

Honestly I fully realise my level of loss is not that bad when compared to many others, however it is certainly progressive and more than enough to derail my confidence.

Pictures of my current state are attached.

What is not quite evident in the pictures is the volume and level of recession in the corners, with one corner particularly badly affected. I have small bald patches and general thinning all around this area.



If you have any thoughts on my loss, what I might consider or generally any comments at all I'd appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks.
