I noticed that I was thinning on top and receding from around 23 years old and this took a massive hit on my self-esteem and confidence. From there I booked in for a consultation at a clinic in Manchester (can't remember the name) and was told to try and preserve the hair I've got and use a transplant as a last resort. The doctor mentioned laser therapy (which I tried for 4 or 5 sessions but thought it was was overpriced and not a sustainable option for me at the time). He also mentioned finasteride, to which I did a lot of reading on, before starting to take it a few months later (which financially worked for me at the time).
I saw great results within the first 6 months of taking it (pictures attached) and managed to hold on to the area that was thinning. I was finally able to wear my hair down with confidence knowing that noone could see my scalp which was a massive boost for me. I've now been on fin (1mg/day) coming up to 5 years and have held on to these results.
I now feel like I'm in the right place to add the final piece to the puzzle by going to get the transplant and to get my hairline restored (and hopefully to get a little bit of my scalp where the hair was thinning done, too).
I've read everyone else's experiences with Dr Arshad and his team and it reaffirms my decision that it could be life changing for me (as it has with many others on this forum).
From the first phone call with Adam and the online consultation with Sommiya (I think), it has been a breeze and all my anxieties have turned to excitement and I've even asked to be put on the cancellations list!
No pushy sales tactics, up front, and honest.
I'll be documenting my journey on here, as many others have to hopefully give them what I needed to go ahead and get this procedure done.
