Hair Micropigementation was created by FIllet
Hmmmm, so the topic for debate if anyone can assist.
After some years of AAS abuse/ use - whatever we want to call it I have thinning. Nothing overly hectic but it will be in time. I have been on minox for a while but I don't think it can match my steroids and part genetics (not my dad but my grandfather).

Started at 26 and I have managed to keep it looking okay at 37 now. (Started steroids at 30)

Minox is no longer cutting it
Hair transplant, na, if something goes wrong I am stuck with all the scaring and will still have to pull a Rock/ Willis/ Vin Diesel look which is not overly concerning as a shaved pip does look decent on me but rubble with a full hairline would look better and more youthful.

The clinics are doing this Micropigmentation (basically a hair tattoo), obviously its specialised ink and you have to buzz your hair on a one or 0 but you look complete. Costs are not crazy either.

Would you consider this gents? If not what options would you consider?

Appreciate all input.

Not sure what the actual packages are but heard they offer everything from surgery to Lazer , and heard the Lazer really does work .

They also offer a free consultation , something you could look into if interested

Hope this helps

Thanks Mikey, I had my free consultation at another clinic yesterday.
Apparently I am not a candidate for Hair Micro pigmentation or any of the other procedures as I have too much hair apparently. My problem is I was attacking the DHT which you would think is the cause of the thinning but after long explanations from the specialist he opened my mind to the fact that it needs to be stopped at the 5 alpha reductase. So taken on a new approach with imported vitamins and shampoo's, only available at the clinic and all fully imported. Recommended to come off the Minox over a period of time indefinitely.
He is aware of my steroid use. A little time will tell.

Never tried it bud, where is it available and if you don't mind me asking how old are you?

I will post up the names of mine tomorrow, jot it down tonight - was just over 2k for basically a month supply so it is a bit steep but worth a try.

It's available at all Franco International salons and any salon which stock redken , also pricy at 2k per month depending if you get the full range or not . They told me they no longer use pills because of it not being FDA approved, however , this stuff really works .

I'm 22 , my problem is male pattern baldness in my genes lol, so I'm fucked anyway :ohmy:

If you want me to post up the names of the shampoo and treatments just let me know and I'll do so .

I hope all goes well with these new products you're trying .

I saw them on line bud, I will try what I have first as this clinic does a lot of your rugby players/ dj's etc.
I am not overly perturbed about going bald as I am on the way to forty... on the way that is.
If I can keep my mane thicker I most certainly will, although this would have bothered me a lot more as a youngster. Not so young anymore, got a dude, married and it doesn't bother the lady so its more of a trial thing.

Best of luck and I wish you all the best , please keep me posted with the results you notice and don't forget the names lol .

For me it does bother me a lot , when on cycle it's the worst , but once I'm off everything goes back to normal and my hair does seem Fuller from the redken products. I guess it's more of a mental game , but Im learning not to worry about it too much as this is a choice I have made
