HAIR TRANSPLANT FORUM

I guess you could do worse than do the simple and obvious things first. Like trying rogain (Regain in the UK), which is a kind of minoxidil which you apply to the head and is of some benefit to some people. Proscar (The prostate drug) is the second most common (I would think) hair loss drug and is f...

Any favorites there hair tec? Wouln't want to cram your style!

NV

We have some funky coulors at the moment, any of you need barbie pink, powder blue etc? We don't just do plain old black over here, have 3 shades of red! Quite happy to bring you some over!

NV

Thank you hairtec, As a proscar user for a number of years now, (With slow thinning continuing despite my Dr Lee mega Xandrox, topical spiro & general vitamins) I would be a good candiate to move over to duasteride? Also, I seem to remeber Dr Cole posting to say that using both proscar and duast...

Hi Dr Cole, Ok, can I just uncrunch some numbers with you here, the + side of avodart is as follows[ In studying a 0.79 square inch target mean hair counts decreased for placebo treated patients. At 24 weeks hair counts were 62 for Avodart 0.05 mg/day, 66 for Avodart 16.8 mg/day, 95.5 for Avodart 0....

Ahh, my boss would prefer to sell you a new pair! If you need any polish let me know and I will bring you some over in July!

One of my hobbies is working in a shoe shop, 'off season' is there a problem I can help you all with?!?!?!

What you say of course is quite right, there is a disanalogy between pulling a hair from its follicle (leaving in place what we need to grow a hair) and pulling a tooth (Which does not) But an extracted tooth can still re-establish itself if it is re-implanted, so I guess its fair to say that it is ...

I think you are quite right about the rather abstract nature of a lot of medicine. It seems a tremendous waste of talent when so many highly educated Dr's & health profesionals will give the same uniform advice (as you say typically drug related) advice to the same symptoms. The whole point of a...

Damn! Still at least I have helped my health twice by drinking this tea stuff and not getting any cigars! Have you ever thought about ruining a home study course on hair & skin health? I'm half serious here, I mean most of my time on web sites is spent sorting for little nuggets of gold from the...

Thanks for that , you are a real asset! I might have a bit more of that nice Roobosh tea instead from now on! I am I right in thinking that green tea has about a half to a third of the caffeine of black tea?If so I guess that avoiding high caffeine is good as caffeine will have an affect on the adre...

Wise words I think! One advantage of green tea as a topical would be its anti oxidant propertys? I see a lot of skin creams include green tea now to 'neutralize free radicals' presumably that would be just what a newly transplanted graft would need? (In as much as it would struggle to loose its own ...

OK, here it is, from the Bald Truth, pg 64 by S D Kobren "Green tea contains catechins, a group of compounds that inhibit the enzyme type I 5 alpha-reductase (which is predominately in the skin, while type 2 is in the skin & prostate) which inhibits DHT. In a chemical reaction like finasteride [...

Hmm waffles eh? Should suit me! I guess I was being a bit of a tourist here though, anywhere in the neibourhood that you guys like to eat or hang out?

I mean I really have to have some propper Southern soul food if I'm in Atlanta!

NV

Thanks Fitlocks I fuigure that you might as well save $30 p/d as long as the place is clean and safe! Was there a grocery store near by to stock up on food for the day or two after where you wont really feel like eating out! Any other tips welcome like handy cinema, top resaurant etc! Many thanks NV

Are they horrible? I mean, it wont be like something from "Escape from LA"? The private cooking stuff is good?!?

How near is it (On foot) to the clinic by the way!

NV

PS- IS it ok to talk the tourist attractions of Atalanta!

HI Forhair,

I emailed "extended stay" last week about the DR Cole discount and havent heard back from them, ok only 4/5 days but, I mean! Anyhow has anyone lese had trouble getting booked with them?

NV

Thanks Forhair, very good of you.

NV

Sorry, I meant rent phones for the few days I will be away, not rant! I'm sure I can rant any place I like, free country and all that!

Thanx

Hi Forhair,

On a related topic, will my UK mobile phone work in the US? I Understand they may work on a differenst system, but I figure that you or some more experinced traveler may know best!

If not can you rant phones at the airport etc|?
