      there are many factors that come in play...these docs arent clear...they just talking in general....but if a full bald head transplants hair from the back, there is no need to transplant again or medication whatssoever....

      Hair transplant is only repairing the damage that has been already done but does nothing to prevent further damage. Finasteride/ Dutasteride should be always taken when you have MPB.

    Is it possible to make a hair transplant look natural if the person is not willing to take medication? As the native hair continues to fall out, it will create patches of transplanted hair in various areas on the head, but is it possible to avoid the obvious patches of transplanted hair, and focus on the front/hairline, while trying to keep the top of the head covered with a sufficient density, and have it look natural? I guess it depends on the donor area, right?

    Hey. I know you guys have done separate videos on minoxidil and finasteride. But i really want to ask that as doctors can you really, in absolute good faith, say that they aren't potentially dangerous medications. Reports say that Minoxidil is a mitogen and has the capacity to induce cancer in mice and yes obviously mice because you can't do that kind of a study on humans. And even over a long term cancer can be attributed to a hundred different causes so one can always turn back and say well we don't think Minoxidil caused it but what if it did. Is it too much of a risk you are taking? I am on Min 5% for 3 months now and have a lot of scalp irritation but more than that there is a tingling in my fingers post application and slight numbness. I have also experienced some amount of ED for the first time ever in my life in the last 3 months and i am not saying there is a direct cause effect relationship that i can establish but i can't think of any other reason that may be causing it. And no it's not in my head that's causing the ED because during the act minoxidil and its effects are obviously farthest from my mind right. So i want to just know, hand over heart, would you apply it yourself for say 10-20 years or advise it to your near and dear ones. I would love to get an answer.

    It's great to see you again! I love your vids and they helped tremendously! If I would like to get a hair transplant, I would save money to get my butt from Slovakia (central Europe) to get to you and have it done in there! Also I have couple of questions, that almost nobody seems to be talking about.
    1. Vitamin D - There was a research done on people and they seem to figured out why alopecia happens in the first place. Once they have given daily supplement of Vitamin D to the people who have suffered from alopecia, their balding stopped or slowed. The theory is that our body wants priortize sunlight to get vitamin D which is more important to the body than hair itself. What's your opinion on it and for which type of alopecia do you think it can be helpful, is it just androgenic alopecia that it can be helpful for or even the alopecia like I have which is caused by autoimmune disorder, and all my hair from top to bottom is falling out, meaning hair on head, eyebrows, eyelashes, facial hair, and the whole body hair like chest, back, arms, legs etc.. To me it seems like it's true my eyebrows and eyelashes get more thicker during summer, so is it because of the sunlight or is it just the heat that makes them more relaxed, so they are more visible?
    2. Vitamin A, E and Zinc - Are these also helpful? Vitamin A and Zinc are also part of our immune system just like Vitamin D, so are they any helpful against balding? And also vitamin E is a great antioxidant, so can combination of vitamin A, D, E and zinc help? I was thinking about buying supplement of daily maximum dose of these vitamins and they have vitamin K also there which helps reducing calcification of vitamin D in the body. And also what kind of intake of these vitamins and mineral should I get? Should I get checked by doctors to see whether I am deficient in some vitamins or zinc?
    3. Also how long should I use minoxidil 5% as a 25 year old man before I can see any results? Is it in the range of 6months and 2years? The question is how long people should use it before they can safely assume that it's not for them, because they have no benefit from it, whether it's stopping the balding, regrowing the hair or making the hair thicker? Thank you in advance if you will take portion of your time to respond! ❤️ Wishing you only health and success!
