Currently, I am 27, and I have been loosing hair from the age of 17. My current hairloss level is at a norwood 5V. After getting so many stares toward my see through scalp and hearing remarks about my hair loss, I have decided to spend some time researching information on hair restoration doctors.
Hair transplants are just too expensive, so I have been spending time looking for options overseas. On my next set of blogs I will post information on various clinics that I have sent my photos to, and I will provide my feedback on those replies. Currently, I am interested in the FUT procedure over FUE because its cheaper, and the hair grafts from the hair transplant result are thicker. This means more density and coverage. In my view FUE should only be used to modify the hair line or cover smaller bald areas.

Dermmatch
Before applying a certian type of herbal oil, I started using Dermmatch. The results were amazing. I was impressed. With this product, I was able to cover my bald spots, and nobody was able to look at my scalp which can be seen through my thinning hair. If people want to hide their thinning hair or bald spots this product is excellent. You can apply this product and leave it on for a whole week. I'm guessing its paste also holds on to the hair which is supposed to fall out. After a week, when you shower you will see all powder comming out and all the hair which I suppose is suppose to fall out. The best part about this product is you won't have people always shiting their focus at your hair line anymore. This can be really annoying. Sometimes you have a converstation and there are ill mannered people who just shit their attention on your hair line. Besides, the best part is, if you are not satisfied, Dermmatch gives you a full refund. In fact, all lot of these hair after hair transplant pics you see on the net, they all have Dermmatch applied on their scapls. The reason is hair transplants give patients thin hair, so Dermmatch is used to make hair appear thicker.

Dr Mohammad Humayun Mohmand Lectures on Hair Transplant
The doctor says if you are 25, and in the norwood 2 or 3 range then its a bad idea to get a hair transplant. He says the reason is because in 10 years its possible to hit norwood 7.
Problems With Hair Transplants
Currently, there are 2 methods which surgeons use to perform a hair transplants. One method is known as the FUSS (Follicular Unit Strip Surgery), and the other method is FUE(Follicular Unit Extraction). Currently, both these methods have their pros and cons.
In the FUSS method the surgeon cuts in the back of your head and remove hair follicles from there. In the end you are left with a big scar in the back of your head. On top of that, if you continue to lose your hair, there isn't much you can do about unless you want surgeon to slice the back of your head again.
The other method is FUE. This is a better method. In this method individual hair follicles are removed, and transplanted in the balding areas. However, the problem with FUE is it is less economical that FUSS. This means every hair that is transplanted doesn't always survive. Also, the hair which grows from this transplant method is doesn’t grow that long, so in reality you have to keep your hair short.
Personally, for me I am not 30 years old yet, so I have not thought of a hair transplant for myself. Who knows how much more hair I can lose in 5 years. One top of that one hair transplant isn’t enough. You need to go for at least 4-5 transplants before you can meet your goals. Also that same money, I can buy a new car, or make an investment . When a man is in 30's they really don't those same requirements to attract the opposite sex, as they did when they were in their teens or 20's. On the contrary, if the transplant helps when it comes to job market then why not go for it. Besides I’ve heard that Restoration Robotics is coming with a new hair transplant technology for hair transplants. This technology uses a robot to perform hair transplants. Let’s see how that works out in the future. Currently, Restoration Robotics is on trials.

Propecia
As you noted from my previous posts, my hair loss started at the age of 17. I used to surf on the net, so I can find a solution. Then at the age of 21 I finally visited a dermatologist. The dermatologist gave me 3 options to deal with hair loss. They were:
1) Propecia
2) Rogain
3) Hair Transplant
He said Propecia would be the best option for me. At that time I was experiencing hair loss in the frontal portion of my head. I asked him if Propecia would help recover my hair line. He replied by saying that it wouldn't, and that I would only need to take it for 1 year. Propecia only helps was hair loss in the bald spot area at the back. The dermatologist told me that Propecia has a low level of side effects so he wouldn't have to take a blood test. On top of that I was told that I would have a temporary side effect which would give me a libido loss. At that point I began to get scared. I was 21 and I was expected to take this medicine for year. A man in his 20's has a very high sexual drive, and if one blocks it at this age, the opportunity to enjoy that high drive would never occur again in the future. Sure you can have sex at 30, but it won't be the same as when you were in your teens or 20's. Next the dermatologist lied to me. He told me that I would only have to take Propecia for 1 year. Propecia is pill where you have to be committed to it for a life time. Therefore, in the end I decided to accept my hair loss.
Hair Transplant was another option. However, at that time he told me that it would cost me $10,000. Also, his version of hair transplant only dealt with the top portion of the hair. I was only 21, and most doctors give their patients a transplant at least by age of 30. Well in the end, visiting a dermatologist was useless. When it comes to hair loss these dermatologist don't have any more knowledge then what you can find on the internet.
