The functional cure is already here (pics)

[whatintheworld]

Cos I started losing my hair at 16, I am now mid 30's. I think at the time you had to be 18+ to buy either one or both of these drugs....

+ I didn't have the money, I was a kid, went to Uni, still didn't have the money to afford these drugs....

I also didn't believe they worked as it made no sense to me that if these drugs worked, then why are so many men bald.... if these drugs stop hair loss, then more men would be taking them and less would be bald. The drugs are essentially a cure if they stop hair loss....

If all men knew they just had to take Finasteride when they start balding and they would stop balding in its tracks, then they'd surely take it. Why isn't this message out there... people say there is no cure.... but if finasteride works then it is a cure. You won't go bald, you will stop it.

I mean, a lot of men are fat and unhealthy yet exercising and eating less is pretty easy.

Froggy you are being bipolar when it comes to stemsom . It’s too early to think about them yet , while they are in preclinical stage . By 10 years smart hair transplants will be here for sure . About a decade ago, no one had any idea on even cloning a hair for mass clinical application

smart hair transplant? What do You mean? tissuse?

Any next gen hair transplant system that overcomes donor supply issue (uses DP cell injection or cloning)

If I maintained my original density, my donor areawould be extremely good. But I'm also thinning at the back. Actually the right side at the back is thicker than the right one. Very weird pattern.

 

[scientist_0005]

most men with male pattern baldness are thinning at the back. thats why i am skeptic about topical AA being the future bc its such a hassle to apply them everywhere if you arent just receeding

Some of you guys are here basically just to whine, lol

Spot on mate !! A bunch of pussies on here . I get it's not nice losing your but jeez dudes on here make out like there life is over FFS ‍

Hair transplants on NW5+ are not realistic, and certainly not a functional cure for the majority of people. The picture you are seeing is in good light conditions and taken at angles that don't expose how thin it is. If that guy grew his hair at all he would look like a guy with severe diffuse thinning.

Transplants are a great option for people with the right hair type and the right type of hairloss. If all you need to do is transplant the front and are in your 30s, it's a great option for the majority of people that can buy you a decade or more of stress relief. Once you go into the crown at all, you're playing with fire and are risking never get a result that doesn't look like you are not balding.

Like others have said, if you are not willing or not getting maintenance from finasteride or an AA, you shouldn't even touch a hair transplant unless you are in your 40s~. You're setting yourself up for disaster when you thin out further and can't shave due to scarring.

Man, if only I had enough donor. Cos I am NW6 and bald as a babies bum. Just self assessing my donor it looks crap. Though my hair is dark and seems decent thickness.... so maybe this can help...

I think best I can do is combine FUE with SMP and create a buzzcut look that can work somewhat well.

This might help you

Not hair transplant’s stopped evolving but hair systems keep getting better. Am I right or wrong?

Well you're half wrong. Hair transplants are still evolving. The evidence is in this thread... Zarev's technique is a relatively new development.

 

[coolio]

It's much easier to find instances of people getting struck by lightning, than finding these functional-cure transplants on a shiny Norwood#6-7.

Yes, those incredible outcomes are "possible".

No, I wouldn't go making plans around it.


Zarev is good. But I don't see any big new magic happening. It's just a surgeon with many ideal candidates + harvesting way outside the safe zone + top quality grafting work.

I always heard that transplanted hair from the back of your hair never has any issue with baldness because of its different characteristics, however that was not presented on par with relevant studies. So you say that folks are losing their transplants?

All we gotta do is look at guys with full head of hair and a buzzcut and those that are bald with buzzcut.....

I am pretty sure my hair at the back has thinned out. I am currently growing it a few mm's and going to take photos to send to surgeons to see what they think can be done for me, if anything. I have done this before and the back of my head looks moth bitten and I've never had surgery. If I ran my hand over the back of my head the hair feels a little wire-like and spiky, like it's thinned out.

 

[scientist_0005]

donor hair does thin out and even more so when transplanted to the front. this entire industry is a bunch of criminals luring young men to get cheap transplants in countries like turkey without proper counseling. why? bc this industry is the shittiest on the planet

100% true

I would love to start a thread with examples like this: good results from
mega session transplants on NW5+ heads

I would love to go from NW6 to full head of hair....

But I think maybe best for me is to go for some sort of thinned out natural looking coverage that is kept shaved down and mixed with SMP to create a buzzed look that gets rid of the geeky old man horseshoe look.

I agree it’s probably a good idea to be strategic and think like this.

I would go further and say...WAIT UNTIL AT LEAST 50. Age will come fast and at that point you will have a pretty good idea of how far you can take a transplant and maintain till old age and death. Getting a TP at a young age is a bad bad idea imo. If balding is severe at that point it's not worth getting one at all. If its a slow progression and easy to hide by age 50. Yeah go for it.

eh that's a bit extreme, we do have plenty of examples of people now with great results 10+ years later.
